acceleration is different than velocity, DC. 9.8 meters per second squared is the pull of earth's gravity. if you start from rest, zero m/s, and begin falling, after one second you'll be falling at 9.8 m/s, and after two seconds it'll be 19.6, etc etc. a G, as relative to a turn, is the approximate force the centripetal force is applying to your body (in multiples of the average pull of gravity.) if you're experiencing 10 G's, it's as though you weigh ten times your normal weight. acceleration and the force of G's aren't entirely tied to a set speed.
he's still been proven to move much faster than his handbook level states.
also, just because someone gets a certain number within a handbook doesn't mean they automatically can perform any feat within that number's limits. at best, human torch WOULD be able to hit escape velocity going by a 5 rating, but i doubt he has in any non SvFL context.

Yeah, but since Namor was flying and not dropping...I have hard time believeing that you can achieve ten G dive with just 60 MPH. 😂
you only ever experience one G while dropping. or standing. it's the momentum you're attempting to control during a turn that creates G's. at 60 mph, with a very tight turn, you could probably experience a few good G's. given namor's already-proven speeds in the hundreds, of course he could experience ten Gs on a turn. the fact that he's experiencing it, though, isn't proof of any level of speed, considering the various other factors that aren't being defined.

Well, he was turning in that picture.
Namor is obviously faster than his handbook stat that has been made quite clear. Good job DC.
Faster than Storm however is still debatable however as the fastest wind recorded is 318 mph a record which is continually broken every few years/decades. With that in mind Storm can bend the rules of nature so speeds of 400+ mph are completely feasible. Therefore all argument aside they are of comparable speed. Hence their shared rating on the marvel speed system.
Referring back to that Namor vs Storm thread (which was obviously the inspiration for this one lol) Namor is not fast enough in an aerial battle to speed blitz Storm. He has the upperhand in reflexes making for superior aerial agility and dodging of obstacles/projectiles but he could not speed blitz Storm.
i know he was turning, DC. i'm saying that the G's he experiences can be accredited to his already established speeds, but an individual argument saying that his turn establishes superspeed is, in terms of physics and mathematics, not a sound argument. basically the scan didn't help prove anything, except perhaps his ability to resist incredible pull and pressure from a ten G spin.
