Brock has better stats. That includes speed, stamina, durability. Strength is comparable. One other important difference is that he is a very compitent fighter. Even withOut the symbiote he was shown outfighting like 10 cops at the same time, putting up a fight against armed thugs and even holding his own against symbiote possessed humans. And he did all that as Eddie.

Namor's a static component of the marvel backdrop - sure, he has mood swings, but he and Atlantis are relatively stable elements that can transfer easily between narratives and stories. He's physically imposing enough as is to act as a strong, tough, doesn't-take-no-shit leader of his country and his people, but isn't so ridiculously powerful that he becomes one of the leading forces.Guys like that - Superman, Thor, Hulk - can't be stable environmental elements, they become polarized and are always at one end or the other of major events, dying all the time and waging wars. Look what happened when Black Adam got a surge in popularity. If Namor became one of the toughest dick-swingers around, he'd lose a lot of what makes him a valuable, stable addition to stories and the general MU.
He's fine where he is.
this is a great post 😮💨
