I like Namor but let's just settle something straight, a tanker ship isn't 200,000 tons it's a couple thousand tons only, but still lifting that....Namor is cool dude...
The guy who I got the image from said that the tanker weighed over 100,000 tons. And it carried enough cargo to destroy sea life for thousands of miles...if not entirely, so I am pretty sure that it was one of the big tankers. I'm not saying that it's Knock Nevis or anything.
Namor is the only one in the group of Dr. Strange, Valkyrie and Silver Surfer that realizes that things around them are illusions. Another good example of his willpower and intelligence. http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/...llusions5jx.gif
A big tanker is about 500 meters long and surely more than 2000 tons, but dude were dropping thousands of tons around here, and we can't even lift up 300kg...So 2000 or more is still a great outcome...
The tanker had enough cargo to potentially destroy the sea-life of entire earth...doubt that it weighed 2000 tons...
But I have to admit, that I am not master in tanker sizes and weights. I was going by the weight given to me by Avenging Son at Sub-Mariner Message Boards. Which was about 110,000 tons empty if I remeber.
The deadweight tonnage of the ship must be at least 50,000 tons. Under that, it would be a dry-bulk carrier, which would transport coal and steel and stuff, at least according to this (If I didn't misread it): http://people.hofstra.edu/geotrans/...n/shipsize.html
If you count the ship tons, and the displacement tons too (Water that Namor had to displace) I think that it comes closer to 200,000 tons.
You may, in fact be right. I don't mind being wrong.
Multiple Mach speeds at least...seeing as that is Wakandan missile, and very high-tech.
100,000 feet = 19 miles. And Namor didn't have much time to cover that distance. He probably swam 5 or so miles from his kingdom, but he still had to cover over 10 miles in moments.
Seeing as he recently seemed to catch Iron Man with ease (And IM had a major headstart), that isn't so farfetched. He also has been described as "becoming a missile", not to mention that he has catched fighter planes that had left the ground before he had.
might as well scan the whole thing. i'm looking to pick it up, but since i've got classes all day tomorrow and my local shop usually gets too few issues of anything important, i've got a hankering the whole thing'll sell out. i'm dying to read the explanation for why t'challa's not part of the group...
So, Illuminati: New Avengers Special is here to those who want to read it, but do not have access to it. Not much feats for Namor there, besides the fight with Iron Man. Great characterization, though, I was surprised that Namor was that good friends with Hulk. And great quotes, etc: "Most probably you'll destroy yourselves before they even consider us...and it'll be our planet again. Either way, we are fine with it."
Read it...loved it.
This is also a good way to see how many people still check this thread....
if i had been in their place, i'd probably have been too weak-of-will to not agree with iron man. i'd probably relish the idea of being one of the ones in the most secret of societies, running the show. in that regard, t'challa's the shit. namor agrees. that means it's right.
i should go check and see if the shop has any issues left.
what do you think blackbolt was saying at the end? i couldn't tell if his fist was meant as a sign of unity, or if he was giving the "never call upon me again" kissoff to stark and reed.
Yeah, that was a bit unclear. But i don't see Black Bolt ever agreeing for himself and the rest of the Inhumans to be registered up to the government, so i highly doubt he's siding with Stark.
