The Thing vs. Namor - The Submariner

Started by namorsubby10 pages

sure, why not. Namor strengh feats blows things outta the water (pun intended)

That's true.

what would u say Namor's greatest strength feats are? Ben has strength feats in the tens of thousands of tons.

Namor has lifted a sub iirc.

Can't remember anything else.

Off the top of my head, Ben has lifted an oil rig, an entire building, a vast star-ship that dwarfs a submarine and has held the weight of a full suspension bridge on 2 occasions.

Scans?

Well here's the Oil Rig one :

All the stuff Horrificus mentioned are in Thing's respect thread but a lot of the links don't work.

Never been terribly impressed with the oil rig scene, as it seems there is 4 tower beams in total and only one broke and it couldn't have been supporting that much weight as that small peice of pipe was used to stabalize it.

Always good to have you supporting my opinions zz! You are an excellent sidekick.
In fact, I shall now rename you. After carefully researching various animal candidates to base your sidekick persona upon, I have come up with the perfect title:

From this day forward, you are the sidekick known as "The Persistent Ladybug"!

That is, unless you prefer to be known as "The Awesome Boll Weevil".

Really it's up to you. Welcome to the team! I'm sure you need a moment to shake off the awe of this moment.

Anyway...

Suspension Bridges-
Strange Tales 131 and Fantastic Four 234

30,000 ton Building?-
Fantastic 4 #95

Ben also defeated Kree Sentries in Fantastic Four that had already incapacitated both Red Hulk and She-Hulk.

Noted!
You have a keen eye and some obvious marine-engineering experience.
I shall immediately have a team of scientists deployed for analysis of the structure.
Your knowledgeable comments will surely prove to be invaluable in our efforts to uncover the truth of this oil rig feat.
On behalf of all members of this forum, I thank you.

Unfortunately, I am know longer looking for a "sidekick". (kudos to zopzop)

Pretty much, this.

"Junior member" huh? 😄 Well, you seem to have a nice stack of FF by your couch over there.
Good for you.

Ben takes this. Namor is a great fighter and is very powerful, but Ben is stronger, has more heart, seems to have the ability to fight on even through horrendous injury and definitely has superior skills/instinct.

😉 i have reed ALL number of FF Write by Kirby and Lee
in the 60' years, Stan said "Namor, on the land, isn't in the same level with Thing, Hulk and Thor. He can win only in water"

AVX Fact:
Thing's punch > Namor punch

FF149, Ben defeat Namor

guys, Namor RULES IN WATER, that's true, i admit
but, ON THE LAND, the Thing wins, 8/10

when i understend how post the scan, i will open a Respect Thread for the Thing

Not terribly impressed with the oil rig scene. Namor supported the Utopia island.

the oil rig.... but the others?

I don't recall them, so if anyone has scans it would be appreicated.

I vaguely remember it was a glass building Thing lifted?

Glass and Steel
not only lifted....

That's what I was thinking of. Also that's not a building, it's even shapped like a pyramid (edit: Reed even calls it a glass pyramid) and its hollow on the inside.

we use current comic characters in threads unless stated otherwise.

Thing Wins

"Current" versions of characters don't ignore said characters consistent histories unless there's been an explicit amp or de-powering.
