And Namor does not use skill at all, is that so...? 😕

How is it that you mystically forget everything I have posted in previous threads?

You are basing this entire fight to one incident, when there are HUNDREDS of others that clear it out?

That's the only scan there is to show who might be stronger. Do you have any scans of Namor beating Thing in a strength contest? And PLEASE no fighting one. Fighting and Strength are not the same! Weaker guys beat up stronger guys and vice versa.

I never said he didn't. Just said Namor has alot more speed he can use as to where Thing has to rely on his skills moreso than Namor does.

I didn't forget anything.

Did you even read the rest of the post? It is not the only scan. Namor, for example, has easily lifted things that Ben has been struggling with.

The whole incident was retconned in Marvel Age Fantastic Four #9 anyway. Thing punched Namor out of water there.

That's f*cking cheap.

Lets see the scans.

Don't see what's the problem anyway. Obviously no comic book writer thinks that Thing is stronger then Namor anymore. Stan Lee included.

But ask, and you shall recieve...

It's a newest re-telling of their fight. Seeing as it is written in different way, I consider it retconning...

It also retconned the stupid thing that Ben is changed back to human with electricity.

That's pretty much how all retcons except the HUGE ones are done.

Can we get the whole fight please.

The original one?

No the new one please....buddy ??? 😱

That is the whole new one fight. 🙂

Thats the whole fight ? What happened before it ? And after ? Can you get the origanal aswell please ?

So basically Marvel retconned the whole FF silver age?

No. Not the whole one. But some parts of it have been retconned in other comics too. It happens all the time when writers want to make their story match a bit more, or change something that just wouldn't work in the more serious stories of this time.

I think it's pretty clear Namor takes the majority here. Probably 8 or 9 out of 10.

His strength is arguably superior, if not, on par with Ben's, and he's got the speed advantage, flight, his skills are on par with Ben's, etc.
