Aquaman vs Thing

Aquaman is not necessariy stronger. Both him and Thing manage to punch and hurt cl 100 characters. As far as im concerned strenghtwise they seem close.

This is how i see it :

Thing has battle feats, no/little Lifting feats

Aquaman has battle feats (Not as many as Thing but a lot), He has various lifting feats, including several occasions when he has lifted over 100 tons.

IMO i conclude that Aquaman is slightly stronger.

"Shit, remember Batman beat Hulk. Although not a canon crossover.
But he DID give Superman a run.
He also kicked Captain Marvel into Billy Batson, during the Superman/Batman fight against Marvel/Hawkman.
Using Bat's as a benchmark isnt a good idea.
Batman on the forum<<<<<<<<<<<Actual Batman"

Thats exactly where im at.

Batman isent Jla caliber to me. Outsiders definatly but not the big guns.

Not when they have MM who is also a prep man with everything else he packs.

And Marvel for all we know changed back to Batson to trick Batman. We know he fell for it.

What was wrong in that fight was how he managed to kick the man, without getting his leg snapped or at least hurt.

"Aquaman has battle feats (Not as many as Thing but a lot), He has various lifting feats, including several occasions when he has lifted over 100 tons."

He sure has the versability edge. Strenght on par with me. Aquaman doesnt have many lifting feats of high order.

The key is: one feat that he has seems better than the ones Thing has had.

Or it simply happened off panel. I never saw Marvel changing back to Billy because of kicks and punches, have you?

aquaman has class 100 strength easily.

he lifetd a city block underwater where it would be heavier cause of all de water pressure on it.

the thing is slightly more durable, but aquaman would beat the crap outta him

Back on track.. . .
Fact is, Aquaman is different league than Thing.
Durability is the ONLY category I'd give to Thing in this fight. He's either CLOSE or severely outclassed in every other category..

On par with me ????????? 😕

I heard he had lifted submarines and Ocean liners, or was that back in the Pre Crisis days ? I'll bethe first to admit that city block thing has been taken totally out of context. That thing can't weigh more than several 100 tons.

"Dunno, not sure how many times I've seen him KOed... dont know how many time's he's been Batkicked either"

Batkicked? That was the only time.

Im for it happened off panel. He has been ko and or down before (like for example during Virtue and Vice against Despero) without changing back.

"On par with me ?????????"

Oops.

I meant both are on par FOR me. In my opinion.

"I heard he had lifted submarines and Ocean liners, or was that back in the Pre Crisis days"

I know he lifted tanks on land. Submarines seems something out of his range.
That city block/street feat as far as i know its his best in pure strenght post crisis and i think: ever.

Pre crisis i dont know. Probably he used animal control to move or pull those ocean liners or something.
I mean he has combat feats now that he never had pre crisis so he should be stronger.

Anyone have any examples?

A few Aquaman feats someone posted.

That would scrething it some. Thing level (or the level he supossely used to be) would be appropiate. Wonder Woman reference might had been something in the lines that he was stronger than she though (wich is true, he is underrated, even inside the DC universe.)

Despero in "Virtue and Vice" beat (not stalemated, he beat) on Superman, Captain Marvel, Power Girl, Hourman and Wonder Woman at the same time.

Either Arthur is stronger than any of those or all of them, or Desespero wasent at the same level in both stories. Wich is more probably accurate.

Besides Arthur was still defeated in that recent Desespero fight. He could punch him but not win. Wich is still an amazing showing for Aquaman, mind you.

Possibly, I have to go throgh my stash to reread it. I just got home.

Oh he is weaker than WW, but I would say he is still pretty close to her in strength. Also he still hasn't fully reached his potential with his water hand, which amped all his abilites up.

Probally right.

He lost due to telepathy, not physical strength

In Aquaman #14, he held up a 8+ story (can't fully see how tall it is from the smoke) building. He held it up when the lower supports, and the main support cracked and was about to give way and he held onto it for a long time until everyone was evacuated. This was before he lost his hand and got the claw.

This was a flashback when he first appeared in the DCU.

Do you have an image, it sounds cool.

Who do you think is stronger Classic Saquatch or Aquaman ?

I'll try, my scanner is on the fritz right now.

Hmmm....I would go with Aquaman. Tanaraq controlled Sasquatch maybe different, but we really didn't see this form for very long.

What who is stronger? or who would win in a fight?

I'd give slight strength edge to Namor, as long as he is in water. This however is still not so great of a difference.... but in a fight, I'd give it to Aquaman.

I think Namor is quite a bit Stronger (His feats and victories are more impressive), but i agree. 🙂
