Namor has fought Hulk, Rulk, Thor, Abomination, Hercules, Surfer etc. under the sea. We have enough feats for him to know where he ranks, he should have beaten Ben.
The worst part is that somehow a few rocks manage to pin someone of Namor's caliber and that he was attacked by a sea creature. He's a high end class 100 who can communicate with sea life, that should not happen.
It's my fault for expecting anything even a bit entertaining, this fight was written by an inexperienced writer after all, and what do there kind know?
This was serious jobbing on his part though. Namor taking on beings like Luke Cage and the Thing is just straight up insulting, it's like there was a shortage of bricks so they just paired them up. All you have to do is look at the third page of this very thread to find evidence of Namor being in a completely different league.
From what it looked like, he slapped Ben with the fish, and somehow knocked himself for a loop as well. And with everybody on that list, you have to include Blue Marvel as well, one of the heaviest hitters recently introduced. Namor caught him in the Marianas trench and they scrapped. According to Namor, only the Hulk has ever hit him that hard. Now if he can take hits like that and keep fighting, I don't think Ben should be able to do what he did. Namor shouldn't have walked away the loser in that fight, especially after the push he's gotten lately.

Fixed.
Yea, that shit was bizarre. Namor's was doing pretty well lately but it seems like he's going to get jobbed for this entire event.
And re-reading the fight, those little caption boxes with fun facts are abysmal. That's the kind of shit that gets comic books mocked by the average person.

The guy just held up a freaking Island and punches was stated as being capable of shaking Earth during a fist scuffle. Ben should have been on the losing end during that fight, even with Luke help. Oh well, I don't ignore on panel evidence and it happened. Ben got the win for now.
There was an amped version of Cheetah that stomped all up and down Wonder Woman, who turned right around and get her arm snapped by Cat Woman. It's stuff like that that makes you take a step back and wonder how the creative process gets so skewed sometimes.
And this whole event is basically them giving the Avengers wins they don't deserve because they're they Avengers.

It's like Cheetah (Or was it Wonder Woman? One of those two anyways) getting manhandled by Bane. It's stupid as shit, but it happens.
But the difference is, Ben and Namor will be fighting again (as soon as he breaks free) and looking at this encounter, he might lose again. I don't understand why these people that are writing these comics don't read up on these characters first, at least get a understanding of their power level before picking up a pencil, upsetting people that actually have knowledge of the characters. Seems like everyone's power level is going all over the place.
Does any of these writers visit comic book forums? That would really help them.

I wish we could rep people on this forum.
But having said that, this can't be a "mistake" by noob writers. Marvel's biggest names are working on this event. Power levels fluctuate over the years and maybe this is where Marvel sees Namor power wise (Thing level). IMHO this is very disrespectful seeing as how Namor is one of their oldest characters and the original mutant. Oh well....
As of now, Team wins 10/10 and it's not close.

Power levels do fluctuate, but recently Namor's power levels have been going up, not down to Thing's level. This is just them letting the Avengers "shine" despite them being in the wrong morally and up against opponents they shouldn't be able to beat as convincingly as they did.
