what has IM done to prove that his reaction times, reflexes, and fighting speeds are better than namors?from what I've seen (though admittedly this would be in his old versions of armor) every time iron man's even got into it with quick street levels, they seem to edge him out in overall speed.
But I would say that Iron man's flight speed is times better than namor's, in new avengers he yanked sentry away from the collective and booked as over the earth's horizon line like he was superman, pretty impressive feat of flight speed in my mind.
In any case, i would assume that namor's overall power combined with his fighting speed, reflexes, experience, and superior fighting ability would put iron man on edge... unless iron man can use his suit in an innovative way, I don't see him dropping namor on average.
I'd like to see what his repulsors would do against namor CONSISTENTLY though, that's the only x factor that I'm teatering on.
Newest series of Iron Man comics have his reaction times at fractions of a second.
The thing is, some of you are citing some really old comics for namor. Characters constantly evolve and you need more current scans.
In regards to the illuminati scan. Alot of dialogue goes unsaid in that brief battle. We don't know how much power iron man was using in his repulsors.
Since no comic book character ever has been ripped off Iron Man's helmet so easily, I can only assume either the armor was faulty in some way, Stark let namor take off the helmet (he probably knew Dr. Strange would rescue him and didn't actually want to fight), or it was somewhat unrealistic writing on the writers part.
Those scans are also show pre-extremis iron man. The new Iron Man is alot faster and way more powerful that was this scan demonstrates.
It's liked they amped up Stark to whole new level. Tony even has some sort of healing factor now.

It's not.Wow. This whole thread is taking Namor's low showings and Iron Man's high ones. Ridiculous.
Are we all forgetting that Namor has taken down Abomination, Hulk, and many other top tier characters himself.
He also had Thor and the Silver Surfer on the ropes underwater. 😱
So, yeah. Namor's winning this fight.
im also fought the hulk silver surfer and so on......

There was a recent issue where IM literally killed Crimson Dynamo. The panels actually showed the fractions of the seconds of Tony's impressive reaction time and speed.
I don't think Namor could actually come close to matching them.

Can somebody post the whole ordeal?BTW Namor can fly at 7 miles per second?
Yeah, or at least close to it. He has flew into upper layers of atmosphere in few seconds for couple of times...
Here is another shot of Namor taking repulsor rays btw.

This isn't Iron Man's blasts, but pretty impressive, considering that Ultron's blasts have broken Hulk's bones before and Namor is barely fazed:

As for Iron Man's reaction times, Namor does come close to matching them in his high level speed feats...

This respect thread should cover all Namor's feats...

Hey, I Believe you.
Originally posted by Darth Vegaslike someone else said, human beings can move in fractions of a second... comic book perople are ridiculous when it comes to this kind of stuff... namor has sculpted a statue in a few short moments, so unless that IM feat compares and/or overshadow's THAT, then I'm still not convinced it's going to be enough.

his new reactions upgrades didn't seem to help him evade getting webbed by spiderman in the face, or punched, or help to land punches either... 😬
didn't help him much against those hand ninjas either..

That's because Spider-Man is still superior in speed/reaction times to the likes of IM and Namor
And that Hand thing was Pre Extremis.
