Namor can fly with way faster speeds then we thought!

Never said that and never meant that. Just that you need to ignore clear plot devices and over the top feats which were inherent to writing of that period. Stuff he pulled off once or twice in the 60's and has never again since. Regardless of what i said about the 60's none of the scans you've shown have showed him being as fast as Storm.

Once or twice?!

More like every issue he is in...

And none of the scans you have showed (wait, you haven't) show that Storm is faster then Namor.

By the way, where is it stated that scans from some year are not sufficient evidence in these forums? I would like to see it, so we could inform other members too.

Therefore, all the scans I have showed are canon, because Namor has done the feats more then once. Way more.

Going by that the scan which isnt valid is the one where he helps Captain Marvel take that weapon out into orbit because he's never been shown to be able to do that since. That was your only scan which showed him flying significantly faster than his bio stats and even then its debatable whether he wasnt aided by Captain Marvel.

The others can and have been explained away by myself and other posters and didnt show him as significantly beyond his bio stats so theyre irrelevant anyway.

What youre not getting is that im talking about ridiculous feats such as where he took that weapon into orbit. Focus on that. That was the only scan which showed him beyond the bio stats in terms of speed.

The other scans havent shown him to be significantly beyond the stats in terms of speed and so dont matter anyway. Those type of things i have no issue with you saying he can do them as they dont completely contradict his stats or recent appearances. Theyre irrelevant and theyve been dismissed by myself and other posters.

Dont you understand that i dont have to come up with anything until you show Namor in multiple appearances being faster than 300 mph. You havent even shown him being significantly beyond his speed rating as you claim he is so what do i have to prove? 😂

Sunfire and Namor both said that Sunfire is faster. . . I'm not sure what you're trying to show in this battle situation, if it had been a race it might have been more understandable, but as in order to battle one has to match speed, I doubt either combatant was pushing themself to their fastest flying speed. As over shooting the opponent isn't very conductive to beating the other.

http://img357.imageshack.us/img357/6113/namorfeat314gc.gifWhat does this one even show? 😕

http://img373.imageshack.us/img373/7403/namorspeedfeats4wj.gifAn observer is not the best way to messure flight speed. . . There is also the usual superhero hype and hulk isn't exactly the best to use as far as super speed goes as both Wolverine and Spiderman can bounce around him fairly well. And that shows that their is a range of speed that even wolverine is in that can out manuever the hulk.

http://img343.imageshack.us/img343/3176/namorefeat513dy.gifReaction speed, but not flight speed. had he been racing the missles to catch them you'd have a point. . . But catching something that's coming at you doesn't show much, as baseball player have superb reactions as well.

Didn't we cover this one? If he had been going as fast as a polaris missle there is no way they could have reacted in time, they mistook him for a missle because he came out where there is normally missles coming out. He was also flying at them at the same time they were flying at him. That cuts down on the amount of time available before "impact" would have occured.

This is sort of like that one math problem, if train A leaves Station A traveling toward Station B at 60 mph and Train B leaves Station B toward station A at 30 mph and the stations are 120 miles apart, how when and where will the trains meet?

The fact that the woman with hiram saw him, and was in that position at that moment actually detracts from the speed feat. If he could travel as fast as you are making it out wouldn't he be long past before she could say anything? If she saw him at all?

It was really to show that he was able to fly faster then handbooks say. If he would have constantly moved with 40 MPH, would Sunfire be suprised all the time?

Would he had really said "He has the power---the speed to be invicible!" If he had gone with 40 MPH.

Ok, you are right. I just copyed and pasted it. Still going more then 40 MPH, as you can see when he is leaving the place.

He arrived at coast of America in short time. He was in the middle of Atlantic Ocean when he left. (Old capital of Atlantis)

Namor can fly over 100mph with one ankle wing tied behind his back.

Most of those scans he's just flying, there isn't really anything to show his speed in those. . .just him moving around with no time frame. . . You can probably do that for any character, but that doesn't mean that they move that fast. . . Heck I got a pretty good one of Jubilee moving around, but she doesn't have superhuman speed. . .

All a surprise is is something unexpected happening. Sunfire underestimating him isn't a sign of speed. And as I said if it had been a race it would ghave been better, as in a fight you have to limit your speed as to not over shoot the target.

Why not? He also mentioned power, and you can be invincible with power even if you don't have speed. I'm not saying that he's limited to 40 mph I'm just saying these don't really show his speed very well.

Originally posted by DarkCrawler

The latter scan where he threw the missle back? Didn't look like he did much to catch it there. . .

We don't have a speed measurment there, so we can't say if he is and if he is how much more.

With no timeframe we don't know how long it took, so can't measure the speed here.

In the old seventies Invaders series he caught up with and had dogfights with multiple axis fighter aeroplanes. 🙂 his fast

Thank you Cresh. I was just in the middle of replying and i refreshed and saw you got the situation handled.

DC your scans really arent good enough. Most of them are completely useless i.e the ones which just show Namor flying with no point to reference his speed, a lot have been dismissed previously, a few are battle situations and are more about reaction times. Your best direction is to get some stats on those Atlanetan jets the same models shown in the scans.

Either way you havent shown he's significantly greater than his stats and nothing here says hes anywhere near as fast as Storm. He even says that Sunfire is faster and Sunfire flies at 150 mph LOL.

That's him flying with full vitality. It's valid even though he goes into water.

Atlantean tech is superior to human one, so I suppose it's going very fast.

Kind of hard, since comics don't calculate the speeds all the time. There is the scan where he is mistaken as plane, though...

The stats for the jets are not shown there. I still assume they are as fast or faster then human jets of that time, because of Atlanteans better technology.

Show a pic where Storm is flying significantly faster then Namor. I will accept it then.

not really it shows very little its very close and the sample group is very small. Galactus was winning for days now his not 😕 but thats your level of statistics understanding I guess.
