His reflexes are better anyway, so I don't mind.
Still it's just a claim and not a feat (her saying she can go faster)
Preboot King Shark also made a claim of being faster (only to be thoroughly proven wrong in the same issue)
Like Mera can use her Water Control to boost her speed, AQ can use his better stats to boost his.
But until proven by a feat it still is a boast for Mera.
And anyway since it has been established that AQ can go over Mach 5 as a minimum I think Johns will give as some nice feats to measure their speeds

True, but I'd think Mera of all people would know. Unless Arthur's been hiding his true power from her.
Mach 5 was pre reboot wasn't it? If not, he's gone much faster than that before Flashpoint.

Yea, that was near Rulk's peak when he still had energy absorption. That was the arc he beat the Grandmaster to death, killed Surfer, Terrax etc. Also, it was Banner Hulk.
Yeah, so not sure the trident would get the job done.

Yeah preboot AQ has some better feats.
The Mach 5 (hypersonic) thing is from issues #9-10 of the current series (Aquaman outswimming the Operative's plane) His best speed feat for the first year of the reboot.
And Mera might not actually know because of the reboot. They don't seem to have spent so much time together like preboot. In the Trench storyline she was still learning things from AQ's past (going through photos and stuff)

Oh yeah, the plane thing.
Maybe, but I'm not sure about Arthur Junior. They haven't said whether he exists in this continuity, but It was stated that Mera had left Arthur and then came back to him, so it's up in the air at this point. Arthur has always been secretive to an extent, so I don't know if he'd have told Mera everything about his past.

Just hope we get a good ending to the Others storyline with some revelations as to where the character is heading.
The whole Throne of Atlantis storyline is building up to be pretty epic.
Yeah, same here.
At the very least, Aquaman, power wise, gets more impressive with each issue, so with the JL crossover coming up, we should at least get some nice showings.

Namor beat Savage Hulk underwater.
Aquaman isn't as strong as Namor either and Namor would get merked by Hulk during these times. As for the fight...I wonder how Aquaman would handle this? Hulk slams his hand on a river bed and clears the entire thing out with just the shock waves of his hands.

DCnU AQ lifted 50.000-225.000 tons easily, pre reboot lifted an enitre city block. It's arguable if he isn't on par with Namor now. We didn't see his limits yet.
This is savage Hulk who lost to Namor, 2 times IIRC, underwater...
AQ wouldn't need to handle this as the stips say "In the center of the Dc Ocean" which is >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> a river bed.

Namor took on Black Bolt and had the advantage.
Namor was working Blastar.
Namor took on the entire fantastic four and was working them.
Namor stalemated Sentry.
Namor stalemated Thor.
Namor defeated Savage Hulk.
Defeated Pineapple Thing.
Ripped Ironman suit to shreds.
Took on both Ironman AND Wonderman and had the advantage over both.
Held an entire island in place.
Was stated that in a fist fight, he could shake the planet.
Defeated Immortal Herc.
Namor fts sh**s on Aquamans.

So all in all you agree that both Namor or AQ would most likely win against savage Hulk underwater? Like Namor did before? 👆
Only way Aquaman is winning underwater would be largely through PIS. Namor used to take advantage of the fact Hulk couldn't breathe underwater back then but obviously that no longer applies now. The one occasion he legitimately KO'd Hulk underwater was from a time they were seen as physical equals whenever Namor was in his natural element. Aquaman isn't as strong or as tough as classic Namor underwater, not to mention Hulk has grown in power since those days.
Hulk wins convincingly.
