lol Wolverine has speed feats like that........................

Regardless of the actual feat involved, chopping the gun. It's a clear explanation.
Yup and neither of those things amount to beating the hulk who has jumped at escape velocity....................AQ without magic hand gets smashed pretty hard by the hulk unless they hit the surf🙂

uhh no
the first post explained that he moves at that speed, jumping air-borne out of water FROM depths of 20,000 ft or less. says nothing about his running speed. in fact thats more of an IN WATER feat.

Well if he can move 10,000 feet per second just by swimming (using his legs) than in a water-less environment....
He is an AQUATIC being. Ian Thorpe is a quicker swimmer than Maurice Greene who moves his legs more rapidly. Does that mean Ian Thorpe is the faster runner? lol

Aquaman, despite his name, is not an aquatic being to truthfully. His body is meant to breathe oxygen and withstand the pressures of the deep...but his swimming ability is purely muscle power. He doens't have fins. He doesn't tail fins. He just has legs.
And yes swimmers can be very fast runners as the two professions often corelate each other. If you can swim at high speeds using your lege muscles through a denser environment than air, than if trained properly, you can be a very fast runner. It's simple logic.
Have you ever moved your arm that was completely underwater? Notice how slow it moves compared to being OUTSIDE water? Water is a denser environment. If Aquaman can move THAT fast in such a dense environment than OBVIOUSLY he's going to be incredibly fast on land.

Unlikely.
A) Hulk is too damn slow. Aquaman will be dodging and weaving away from his blows like Spider-Man on Red Bull
B) Hulk needs quite a few hits take Aquaman down. Aquaman only needs ONE. One shot from his magic hand and BOOM....Hulk is Banner again.
But the margin of speed isn't that high to matter this fight that way. It's like a lightweight fighting a heavyweight. Aquaman is faster and more nimble though a Hulk isn't that disadvantaged cause the speed difference isn't that high.
And current Aquaman isn't that well versed on the water hand either. It still has uses he hasn't tapped yet. However point remains that the effect on his opponents isn't that fast nor can be done in an instant with one blow. Unless Hulk suddenly developed Superman's allergy to magic, he's not gonna be down with one punch. What Aquaman needs to do is to at least cling with his hand and hope his magical hand could devolve him before he could grab him and pound him to smitherins.

Penguins are land animals and move like bullets in water, but on land a toddler can outrun them. Same thing with frogs and turtles and No it isnt about logic. It's about science. There are many variables to consider here.
And I always thought Aquaman was from Atlantis..lol Whether or not his physiology is "made to breath water" here is irrelevant. He is still an aquatic being. Whales breath oxygen, but they are still AQUATIC beings.

Hulk has difficulties against slower foes. I see it as Hammerhead facing Spider-Man. Aquaman can go at Mach speeds in water and his reaction times allow him to sidestip bullets at point blank range. Hulk is fast for a guy his size (discounting his patent super-jump) but not fast enough to do many hits against Arthur.

The only powers he managed to practice is the curing effect, the "Red Nile" effect and the "magic nullifying" effect. This much is true. But based on his abilities Aquaman should be able to devolve the Hulk as soon as he touches him since it worked on Manta. And he doesn't even need to be NEAR him for the water hand to work. He can "distach" or "stretch" the hand to operate on its own.

Bad example. They all have FINS. Arthur does not have fins. He swims just like every other swimmer....except several thousand times faster.

Arthur is an aquatic being, yes. But you're missing the point. His body was made to LIVE in water. But certainly not to move around in it as well as fish. Everyone else in Atlantis is either a mutated fish-man or a mermaid. Not Arthur. They all have FINS that allow them to move quickly through water. Arthur solely relies on his legs and arms.

so can quicksilver. Too bad it didn't stop him from getting pimp slapped.
And the effect of his hand once again isn't instant even if it stretch or ditach, point remains that it needs some time to work, time which he doesn't have till hulk claps and stuns him.

so by your "logic" if he moves at 20,000 feet per sec and mach speeds underwater, he should be able to move at sub-light speeds outside of water. and theres nothing to prove that, especially not those scans you posted.
