Aquaman VS Wolverine

I'm personally undecided on the fight, but you asked how. And that's most likely hoe he would win if he does.

I don't know who would win in this fight. It's definitely too early to tell on whether Current Aquaman would win.

I'm not even sure if Aquaman would win at all sans Waterhand. Good Match up.

Good point. Plus, with this fight being on land, Wolverine would likely diminish at a much slower rate than Aquaman would being away from water. Plus, Krakoa may help Wolverine in some ways as well (not that I think he'll need it given how he has home advantage anyway).

It's everything including sustaining injuries by being cut by Wolverine and bleeding.

Aquaman is actualy some sort of benchmark for endurance in DC so I find it highly unlikable that he would tire before Wolverine.

In this scan Thalia al Gul's scientists try to replicate the powers of DC's heroes mainly strength, speed and endurance. When asked how close they are the scientist responds "Don't expect Superman, Flash or Aquaman levels of strength, speed and endurance."

The endurance mentioned here is more battle endurance than "training" endurance. For instance, if both we say that both characters were stabbed in the chest with a sword, which character would last the longest before succumbing to wounds and blood loss.

You used the word diminish and I understood you meant something akin to "tire"

Yeah, sorry about that. I should've used a different term.

If this goes melee, Aquaman is ****ed for sure.

True, it would get messy in melee range.

Aquaman doesn't like polluting the ocean, and he'll get a LOT of Logan blood on his uniform.. And you think a guy that lives under water knows anything about doing laundry?

Wolverine guts and filets the fish.
Aquaboy isnt on Namor's lvl from what i seen so far in DCNU.

I am sure eventually the writers will make Aquaman uber passed the original intent with some wacky high lvl TP but till then its Wolverine for the win.

Aquaman isn't beating Wolverine in anything remotely resembling melee combat.

He's faster than Wolverine, and a lot stronger than him. He can pull a Wonder Man and blitz him into the ground...

Aquaman is not faster than Wolverine, and the Wonder Man comment is almost too stupid to dignify with a response given the scenario laid out in the OP.

If Aquman tried to engage Wolverine in melee combat, he would be quickly and decisively beaten.

Have you seen Aquamans speed feats? He's faster than Hulk, that's for certain, and Hulk always manages to tag him.

And the op says this:

Aquaman VS Wolverine

No prep. No bfr. current aquaman. fight is in the forest surrounding the jean grey school.

What precludes Arther from beating him down like Wonder Man did?

It's not like you have to be as strong to stagger him.. Class 50 and above should be more than sufficient to hurt him (Or less, considering Sabertooth can hurt him with melee, as can Daredevil, Mr. X, Gorgon, Captain America...)

Not saying it will work TP could screw this up.

do u really want to use a sucker punch from behind the head for Aquaman being able to do the same to a prepared Logan? 😬

in comics these sucker punches are used to ko opponents who may not be readily knocked out in an actual fight. hell, guys like daredevil have bn able to knock out 10 tonners who could shrug off his best punch and kick if they werent caught by surprise.

I guess I could argue what is to stop Wolverine from slashing and killing Aquaman when a polar bear has bn able to nearly kill aquaboy or Batman able to ko and put up a fight against him with his bear hands? 😮‍💨

Wolverine fights Hulk completely differently than he does smaller opponents due to size difference and powers involved and even than Hulk doesnt consistently tag Wolverine when they fight.

u know spiderman has bn tagged by Hulk too, so has Cap, DD that doesnt mean Hulk is comparable to them in speed or reaction.... it happens in a fight.

How is it not going to melee? Wolverine will beat Aquaman 10/10

I think they're referring to a big distraction so that Wolverine's back is turned for a sucker punch. I think the argument is that things would've gone differently had Wolverine not been distracted. If the scenario is that Wolverine is completely distracted, then maybe Aquaman can do something similar. But if they are both ready and aware, then the WM thing won't be very likely.

I think they're using a lot more than just punches. They tend to use techniques more esoteric in nature (or at least different than a normal punch) and that always gets a good pull in comics. And even so, thru his thousands of appearances and fights, it's only a small number where he's really affected by it. So the odds are against it most of the time.

Wolverine does well with blunt force, however. Spidey, Namor, Hulk, Thing, Wendigo, Hercules, etc. are all really strong guys that Wolverine can take hits from because it's likely mostly blunt force. Aquaman's attacks will be more in line with them than the likes of someone like Gorgon or Sabes.

Can Aquaman knock Wolverine out? I'm sure he could a couple tines here and there depending on the story or the desire of a writer, but it seems unlikely given the type of attacks he presents and there number of times Wolverine has taken similar attacks and not be affected vs. the number of times he epwear knocked out.
