1) pre zero hour versions of both
2) modern aquaman
Superboy is in hawaii at the beach when he sees the silicon dragon logo on one of the yachts out in the water..
he flies to get a better look when he is attacked by machine gun fire and rocket launchers..
smiling Superboy uses his goggles to fire a heat blast at the yatch hitting the fuel tank causing it to explode and taking everyone out.
minutes later he has everyone at shore news reporters are asking questions, superboy is posing and smiling in the background a burning ship slowly sinking..
as he answers questions in the background the ship starts to approach shore and suddenly Aquaman rises completely out of the water and tosses it on the beach..
Aquaman: who is responsible for this?!
Superboy: keep your speedo's on, i would have done something eventually... who are you the sea police traffic cop? cute flippers err fins whatever they are..
Aquaman: I am Aquaman once King of atlantis you will show me Respect!!!
Superboy: whatever waterboy, this is Hawaii not the atlantic ocean..
This is an interesting fight because both characters have been getting upgrades. Strengthwise, I'd say their about the same. I'm incline to give superboy the win based on the fact that he's more durable than Aquaman. However, Arthur has the experience and wits to outsmart Conner. Mmm I'm going to say split, mostly because their both awesome!!
Interesting, I do like the fact your ignoring the little detail of it was the army surrounding them with guns that turned them away, not Superboy, nor did they leave because they were scared. I also like to remind you of the context of AM was holding back and could have killed Superboy as noted.
Would that happen again when it's just Superboy? Most definetly not, so your post becomes well...pointless. Or does Superboy have an army at his disposal.
