All of those lifting feats were aided by buoyancy. The hulk would struggle to do those feats if they were on dry land. Namor is nowhere near an angry hulks strength. He has only defeated him in his element. Thing and Namor are known to be equals in terms of strength. Thing like Namor is still class 85. Thats not debatable. Namors durability is classed as limited superhuman durability. The fact that he can withstand ocean depths is more to do with his amphibian physiology than his durability. Theres fish who can withstand ocean depths whereas a elephants body probably wouldnt be able to ake it becase it isnt made for thatenvironment, yet you wouldnt say a fish is more durable than an elephant would you. You wouldnt say your average fish is more durable than just a human would you? A human would get crushed by the ocean depths.In hurricane force winds as is common knowledge (and as has been presesnted on these forums in arguments many a time) straw and grass can penetrate concrete. Riptides projectiles propelled by strong winds piereced collossus' armour and left him hospitalised. Storms winds which are far stronger than riptides could not only restrain namor, but could propel things with enough force to pierce namors flesh. A blunt object propelled by hurricane force winds would knock him out.
All those lifting feats were not added by buoyancy. He lifted a submarine and carried it on shore (that means dry land). I see no reason why he would have been enraged because he had to carry a submarine. Same with the oil tanker. And I never said that he is stronger then Hulk. And do you mean that he is only Class 85? How can he then lift an oil tanker that weighs 110, 000 tons? And the post also shows that lighting doesn’t have any effect on him, it changes lot of things. He took a blow from THORS hammer and it didn't faze him. Gee, I think that he is quite more durable then average fish or human...
And I like to go by feats in comics...not by ratings. The official site doesn't say anything about Storm being able to harness the power of the stars, still she does so. The site lists Storm’s and Namor’s speed as same. So, if we go by stats, Namor exceeds Storm in every area besides energy projection. Intelligence, speed and fighting skills are the same, which I doubt though. Energy projection of Storm is 5 which means an single energy type. Where is that star power now? Namor has had lot more fighting experience then storm has. He also has the best training of Atlantis.
And even if Namor could not get close to Storm, I doubt that Storm would be able to dodge or block an multiple barrage of buses and trucks thrown at her.
