Namor can fly with way faster speeds then we thought!

And I have a proof right here:

Namor is mistaken as Polaris Missile. They are able to go 8000 MPH. (What happened to sixty? :lol)

"Namor wastes little time! He becomes a meteor, a lighting bolt, a streak, across the midday sky...speeding toward the coastline of America!"

http://putfile.com/pic.php?pic=11/30614074861.jpg&s=x11

How fast is lighting? Oh yeah, third of speed of light. A meteor? Highest speeds are calculated to be seventy-two kilometres per SECOND.

That sound like Category 3 speed to you? (Not able to go faster then Mach 1)

I think he is able to fly with supersonic speeds. He reached United States very fast. Not to mention he leaped fast enough to reach and OUTRUN meteors in the same issue. (http://putfile.com/pic.php?pic=11/30614044285.jpg&s=x11 , http://putfile.com/pic.php?pic=11/30614061841.jpg&s=x11)

And he has gaught missiles from sky before with EASE.

So...all the people who believed that Namor would not be fast enough to speed-blitz etc. Storm were wrong. 🙂

(And I also mean you, GS. 😉 )

Uh, I intend no disrespect but the polaris missle thing was observed by the human eye rather than a machine . . . and the becoming those different things is just hyperbole as he didn't really become those. . .

I have no doubt he'd be able to beat storm, as he is really fast, but not really 8000 mph fast. . .

indeed

Storm does fly using the power of wind. How fast can wind go? I don't know much on the subject, but I don't think wind reaches 200 mph very often.

I think a lot of heroes theoretically should be able to outfly storm :>.

That is still someone who is "mistaken" him for a missle, there's a key word.
and old style comic flavor hype paragraph with no statistic.
I'm sure if you found an old comic of Batman it would say "and with lightning speed the dynamic duo are off in the batmobile, but are they prepared to fight the menace of THE COCKROACH MAN!?"

well you are wrong. the speed storm goes is based on her will and how fast she wants to go. she has gone mach speeds before easy sometimes.

Highest measured wind speed is 300 mph. . . Though Storm can push weather phenomenon higher than normal. . .

I call bullshit. Her flight speed is limited by her durability. When has she shown Mach speeds at all, let alone easily? Mach 1 is 340 m/s or 760 mph.

she is very, very resistant to the affects of the weather, wind-um...idk what it's called, i can't remember, but she's resistant to the harmfull affects of the wind. her flight speed is only limited by her need to go fast, or her willingness to bend natures rules. she has flown mach 3 in the past, yes she strains to go mach speeds, but she doesn't strain to go speeds over natures natural wind speeds.

She's flown at 2300 mph? When exactly?

i call hyperbole,plus thats the old style comics. namor is not that fast. under water he's a speed demon, but on land he's nothing....its the same way that aquaman can swim as fast as supes can fly in atmosphere....Arthur has been shown swimming at 20000ft per sec. so id wager that Namor is about the same....under water!

I'd ask for proof; but I know I wont get any.

He already showed he can reach escape velocity when with Genis Vell he throwed a machinery that was going to explode into space and they flew from sea to the space in a matter of seconds.

PIS. Thats a one off. Just like IW having telepathy or similar ridiculous events in comics. Hyperbole aside Namor used to be stated to be able to fly at 60 mph in his bios. Now he's just put in class 3 by the new system which encompasses anything up to mach speed and therefore still supports that old value. Comic book appearances dont accurately reflect these handbook figures the same goes with Storm and some of her abilities however inaccurate as these figures may be if not taken literally you still know that according to Marvel, in their eyes Storm is faster in terms of flight speed. Thats all that really matters.

Until you have scans which directly compare their abilities you can never say Namor is faster when its stated in most handbooks that he's not.

I like how people are sticking firmly by Storms handbook speed entry despite comic book appearances which dont reflect the entry yet are ignoring Namors entry because of some 1960's, hyperbole saturated scans. 😕

No but the people who write the handbooks do and they state a higher speed rating for Storm than they do for Namor. Under th enew system they are both in level 3 which encompasses a wide range of values so doesnt exactly contradict previous values given for Namors speed for example. Thats what i meant. Read properly.

Storm is also put in class 3. Personally I'm as sceptical about Namor travelling as fast as a Polaris missile as I am about Storm travelling at Mach 3. Do you happen to have multiple instances where it explicitly or implicitly shows or states she's exceeding Mach 0.5?

Theres instances of her travelling between states in minutes which if you know the distance between them shows she isnt limited 300 mph. I'll have to dig up the issue but it was was the first issue of the story arc where Doom transforms her into a chrome statue.

I'll look for more examples and post scans where i can.
Recent, hyperbole-free scans.

They don't indicate Namor's flight speeds in handbooks, and they both have the same speed rating of 3 (which you say so yourself in the same paragraph that you say they state a higher speed rating for Storm 🤨...) so it's hardly conclusive whose faster "in Marvel's eyes."

No but you dont take in and comprehend information adequately for my liking hence my previous statement. I told you that Marvel had speed figures for both Storm and Namor with Storms being higher. I then said that at least we know that in the eyes of Marvel Storm is faster. That isnt presuming to speak for Marvel thats making a statement based on what an official marvel source which represents Marvels views actually shows. You then spouted sewage and then continued to utter the above nonsense.

Incorrect. They do give Namors flight speed in handbooks. Dont spout off unfounded opinion and present it as fact. As the below shows it is NOT:

Storm

Namor

What a lame counter. When someone says they'll do something in minutes since when is that anything other than a few minutes. If i recall that scene referred to how she warped weather patterns to reach her destination in mins so anything other than a few minutes is highly unlikely and far from what is presented.

You've all forgotten the fact that he...leapt from meteor to meteor. Most meteors go with speeds of 40 kilometres per second.

Silver Age is canon.

The comic was written by Stan Lee.

And 40 MPH?! That's about as fast as a moped...

Comics show that Namor can go WAY faster.

Seriosly, you can ignore all the countless years of comics that show Namor and base him with one handbook entry.

You can trust guys named "Stuart Vandal" and "Michael Hoskin"...in their eyes, Storm may be faster.

I'll stay with Stan Lee. 🙂

What you dont seem to understand is that neither of the characters abilities on panel are 100% accurately represented in the handbooks however from the higher speed rating given to Storm you know that in the eyes of Marvel she is faster. Just like Namor is shown in comics fighting even defeating the hulk who in the handbooks comes out on top stats wise than Namor. The handbooks are just a guideline but they also provide hierarchy. Storm is faster in the air than Namor according to Marvel and until we see him outpacing something or someone Storm has been shown not to, or they have a confrontation, you cant conclusively say otherwise. Hyperbole doesnt cut it.
