Which is impossible, and is something that - if he attempted it - would leave him with both hands occupied and no guard, giving Wolverine free reign to carve up Namor and end the fight instantly. There is no scenario in which Namor enters melee combat with Wolverine, and comes out on top.
Which is why our simple friend Silent concocted his cowardly scenario where Namor hovers out of reach and tries to throw things at him.

Using your powers effectively isn't cowardly...running away and hiding however is the mark of a coward.
They aren't running away, they are waiting in cover for Namor to grow some balls and fight them. In this scenario Namor is refusing to fight, and Batman and Wolverine are simply avoiding be target practice for a coward. Simple.

Given his strength, durability and flight abilities, a CISless Namor is fully capable of reducing any cover to rubble.

You know what Genosha looks like right? It's is a decently sized island, and there are still ruins of buildings and dozens (maybe hundreds... almost certainly 100s based on HoM 1) of skyscrapers still intact, presumably some degree of underground infrastructure. Wolverine and Batman could avoid Namor indefinitely in the ruins of the city, and eventually he will be in the perfect spot for an ambush and they will take him down.
I'm saying there is hundreds of buildings, and he won't know which they are in and if he goes around destroying random buildings on lark he will fill the battle field with dust and debris giving them even more cover, while they wait for their opportunity to strike at take him out.
Even in your out of character scenario Namor can't win.
Hows he going to find them? Check their twitter feeds on his Nexus?

Get real buddy.
Eh. I think Namor is easily capable of taking out the team. Batman is a non-factor here (sorry, but it's true). He could be batted away in the first few seconds, sending him into the middle of the ocean if Namor hits him hard enough.
Then it's down to Namor and Wolverine. Again. Sigh.
My opinion hasn't changed since the original thread. Namor could literally grab Batman and use him as a club against Wolverine, thus negating that reach "advantage". I doubt Wolvie will try to cut through Batman, since he is his teammate in this match. And, if he wanted to, before Wolverine got to his feet/readied himself after being knocked around, Namor (with his superhuman speed) could either grab Wolvie's wrists and take the claws out of the equation completely. Then he could either stab Wolvie with Wolvie's own claws or just straight up BFR him into the middle of the ocean. And no, I'm not forgetting Wolverine's own speed. I know he's fast. Just that Namor is just as fast, if not faster.
That's just one scenario. And when did it become out of character for Namor to drop/throw heavy things on foes? Seems right up his alley. I seem to recall some instances, but I'll see if I can find anything.
