Hell, the Sentry himself thrashed Namor around an entire city block for a few panels before and surely could have killed him with ease if he didn't get called away (and that was just a pissed off Sentry teaching him a lesson). Even Namor with his ego and bravado knew he couldn't win, but only try. You act as though Namor is some God because of the WM, Ares, and Sentry encounter when its clear he isn't.

Simon wins.


That's not the only reason, abhi and I gave others, the most important being common foes.

Namor tooled Simon. And I love the fact that you try to BS saying they weren't trying to kill him as if somehow takes away from him schooling those three. Need I remind you Ares was definitely out for blood and even tried to stick his axe in Namor's back when Namor wasn't looking but Namor was too fast for him.

Namor wins.

Namor wins.

Ares is a puss compared to the other 3 characters we're talking about here, so he should be put on the backburner. Regarding that lame storyline, Namor seemed to have tooled all three of them. Do you believe that Namor can tool Sentry? Seriously do you think this? Sure looked to happen in that storyline from what we saw. Curious as to what you have to say about that.

They weren't out to kill or hurt him (besides Ares, but we know how that usually works out for him), or they would have. Your trying to make Namor look like the crap because of this feat and I'm telling you it wasn't much of a feat at all. We all know better. Hell, the same storyline had Sentry running away scared from a 2nd rate Human Torch. Avengers/Invaders was garbage and doesn't hold any credibility among the comic community. Very poor example.

Not to sort of butt in to the argument but the whole Human Torch thing can be explained by Jim Hammond (if that is the same instance) exploiting his mental state by saying he is giving him power.

That isn't all to bad really. At least that is how I attempt to rationalise it.

Sentry looked superior to Namor during Dark Reigh era. Every panel shown in the fight Namor was getting tooled iirc.

Then how do you explain their fights against common foes where Namor clearly did better?

Regarding Sentry, he's all over the place power wise. The Sentry that Namor took on during the DA saga was on the verge of going Void. So the fact that Namor did as well as he did against him is an accomplishment in and of itself. No one is saying Namor has a chance in Hell against Void, Voidtry, or even a high end Sentry. So cut that garbage out and don't put words in peoples mouth.

Tooling a non high end Sentry isn't that rare. Hercules did it and just like the Namor example, Sentry had back up (Venom was chewing on Hercules' head for phucks sake).

So Namor tooled Sentry/Ares/Wonderman and it's canon. Namor did better against Hercules in the MULTIPLE times they faced off than Simon did. Namor did better against Abomination than Simon did (despite the fact that he went up against Immortal Hercules and the Avengers just prior to that fight). Namor's done better against Hulk in the multiple times they faced off than Simon did (even the weakened and dehydrated Namor did better against Mindless Hulk unlike Simon that b|tched out and had a panic attack).

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Abomination under mindcontrol or some shit when Simon fought him?

Namor was clearly out of his league there.

No, I think he was being blackmailed into going along with the villains.

I'm not trying to explain fights against common foes and Namors billion more appearances. Wonder Man has done just fine against higher end foes. He gave Thor as much as he could handle, hurt Nefaria (I doubt Namor could have done that), and flat out made the Thing look like 90 lb. weakling. I know Namors a tough customer, I just think a correctly written Simon would take a majority.

Regarding Sentry, he's all over the place power wise. The Sentry that Namor took on during the DA saga was on the verge of going Void. So the fact that Namor did as well as he did against him is an accomplishment in and of itself.

The Sentry that was beating Namor around was coherent and not Voidtry.

No one is saying Namor has a chance in Hell against Void, Voidtry, or even a high end Sentry. So cut that garbage out and don't put words in peoples mouth.

Namor has no chance against any incarnation of Sentry. I'm just pointing this out because you seem to feel so proud of yourself that Namor so called tooled the Sentry along with WM and Ares. I'm glad to see that even you are admitting that it was bullshit and you should probably quit bringing it up.

Tooling a non high end Sentry isn't that rare. Hercules did it and just like the Namor example, Sentry had back up (Venom was chewing on Hercules' head for phucks sake).

Oh God. You mean the comic relief writing that was the Hercules book? Who wrote that Pak? If so, enough said. Sentry wasn't even trying in the least against Hercules. You should be ashamed to even bring that up.

So Namor tooled Sentry/Ares/Wonderman and it's canon.

So you still want to use that as ammo for your argument although even you admitted Namor has no business messing with Sentry, yet the other two included? If those three characters meant business, Namor would die very quikly.

Namor did better against Hercules in the MULTIPLE times they faced off than Simon did.

Hmm, how many times have Simon and Herc fought? I remember they exchanged punches and went out for beers. I remember Herc also ramming a quinjet down his throat when he was pretty much in some warrior madness state. Namor probably had more encounters. I just remember them fighting when Hercules wasn't trying to hurt him, but rather get him out of his depression. I also remember Namor admitting Hercules was stronger then him under water once (yikes). I don't see any clear cut winner there.

Namor did better against Abomination than Simon did (despite the fact that he went up against Immortal Hercules and the Avengers just prior to that fight).

Yeah Simon struggled. Overconfident and busy being a movie star. A bit rusty if I remember correctly.

Namor's done better against Hulk in the multiple times they faced off than Simon did (even the weakened and dehydrated Namor did better against Mindless Hulk unlike Simon that b|tched out and had a panic attack).

I'm sure he did. Namor and the Hulk fought about once a month ever since the 70's and those are great feats for him. Wont deny that. Doesn't mean I think he can beat Simon for a majority though. Simon is strong and durable enough to be knocked clear through planets and even a sun. I cant see Namor holding up under that kind of abuse.

Hey, its a good fight. I just think Simon edges him out.

Don't say that to loudly. Remember Namor tooled Sentry with WM and Ares together, so he must way above that showing.

Again, against COMMON FOES, Namor has done better. It's a fact. Whether you accept it or not, I don't care.

Simon made Thing look weak? Did you even read the comic? Thing was trouncing him and Xemu had to jump in and help Simon out. In fact, it was Xemu that warped that weight around Thing and allowed Simon to catch his breath and renew his attack. Yes, you can argue that Simon was mindcontrolled but Thing was HOLDING BACK not wanting to hurt Simon AND Simon had help MULTIPLE TIMES from Xemu.

The Sentry that was beating Namor around was coherent and not Voidtry.

Yes, that was a HIGH END SENTRY. Someone I just admitted Namor has zero business fighting.

Apparently Namor DOES have a chance against lesser versions of Sentry because he tooled him on panel, just like Hercules did.

So you still want to use that as ammo for your argument although even you admitted Namor has no business messing with Sentry, yet the other two included? If those three characters meant business, Namor would die very quikly.

Well we KNOW at least one of those characters meant business and was out for blood vs Namor. Namor shut him down and tooled Simon and held his own vs "angsty" Sentry.

Hmm, how many times have Simon and Herc fought? I remember they exchanged punches and went out for beers. I remember Herc also ramming a quinjet down his throat when he was pretty much in some warrior madness state. Namor probably had more encounters. I just remember them fighting when Hercules wasn't trying to hurt him, but rather get him out of his depression. I also remember Namor admitting Hercules was stronger then him under water once (yikes). I don't see any clear cut winner there.

They really only fought once and Hercules broke his phucking face. Namor and Herc fought multiple times and Namor more than held his own. All you have to do is google "Namor vs Hercules".

Yeah Simon struggled. Overconfident and busy being a movie star. A bit rusty if I remember correctly.

Yeah and Namor just got through fighting Hercules with other Avengers like Vision and Thunderstrike taking potshots at him, then when they peaced it up, Namor was jumped by Abomination.

I'm sure he did. Namor and the Hulk fought about once a month ever since the 70's and those are great feats for him. Wont deny that. Doesn't mean I think he can beat Simon for a majority though. Simon is strong and durable enough to be knocked clear through planets and even a sun. I cant see Namor holding up under that kind of abuse.

Simon had his ARM BROKE in that fight with Hyperion that shook a "planetoid". Then he DIED when Hyperion pushed him through that PLANETOID and into the Sun. What's so great about that showing?

Namor fought Behemoth and it was causing PLANET wide earthquakes on Earth. Google the difference between a PLANETOID and a PLANET and tell me which is the more impressive feat. As a bonus, Namor didn't get his arm broke or die.

Hey, its a good fight. I just think Simon edges him out.

Believe what you want, I don't care. Just stop ignoring on panel evidence because you don't like the outcome.

They are both roughly the same in terms of strength, but Namor is a better fighter. Simon is more powerful because of his genetic makeup, but they are roughly the same in the durability dept. What gives one the nod over the other is combat ability, and Namor's combat ability takes a dump on Simon's. Simon would be throwing mountain shakers that would often miss, while Namor would be hitting him with combo's.

Do me a big favor? Hunt down the Incredible Hulk issues where Mindless Hulk took on the East/West Coast Avengers + She Hulk.

Tell me who, despite being out of his element for days and dehydrated by the desert heat, fought like a warrior and who was crying like a little girl begging the Hulk to get off him.

Lol. I know the exact scene that you are talking about, and Simon was screaming for the Hulk to get off of him. He had a panic attack. This fight really comes down to who the superior combatant is. Namor is heads, and shoulders above Simon in that regard. If Simon had Steve's combat expertise, I would be voting for him, but Simon is an actor, and Namor is a warrior born.

Yup, I knew you'd get the reference being a Hulk fan and all.

But it was more than a panic attack, Simon actually was fearing for his life. He always saw himself as invulnerable but he was having his faith in his durability challenged by the Hulk's strength!

Has Hulk ever physically overpowered Simon like he has done to Namor?

Yes, he's the Hulk. He's physically overpowered lots of people. But at least Namor got some wins against him.

Grey hulk overpowered Simon recently.
