Comics have always applied CIS, are you suggesting that Aquaman would be able to be a serious match for Superman, Wonder Woman, Captain Marvel, Thor... and others on or around Despero's level.Is this what you believe?
You are the poster who believed that Spiderman was stronger than Aquaman correct?
And previously stated that Orin is class 40-50 at best correct?
Um...yeah...
Anyway Aquaman HAS BEATEN characters on that level (Olympian, Triton- at least WW) before.
Don't act like it's something that hasn't already happened.
And it's far from CIS (something that can't be said for Spidey vs Firelord) WHEN THE CHARACTER IN QUESTION PROVIDES THE SAME LEVEL OF FEATS FOR 14 CONSECUTIVE YEARS.
HE ALSO HAD 2 MAJOR POWER UPS.
The Aquaman you have in mind is certainly an older version.
But if you ask me would Aquaman win any of these fights in a DC comic?
Not likely.
They are DC property and some of their holy cows, so in no way would they let him have a good showing that would hurt them.
But the fact remains.
He took hits from an enraged WW and broke free from her hold and in an earlier issue of JLA rushed her and took her down momentarily.
But that's the closer you'll get to this fight, because it has never been depicted on panel before complete.
If you are talking underwater, then Aquaman is certainly taking some wins out of 10 (not even DC would portray him loosing in his element.)
Actually he has beaten Kyle Ryner underwater and Superboy.
And he stalemated Lobo out of water.
And etc... (just read the whole thread I've posted the same stuff again and again)
So to answer you question I could see him taking some wins underwater against some of them but DC wouldn't let something like that happen easy (if at all) and even more difficult out of water.
But he has beaten LESS FAMOUS character WITH THE SAME POWERSET before.
The only thing that change was mainly the name.
