Aquaman runs the Gauntlet

Stops at 1. Rhinos > Fish

If Rhino should KO himself then poor AM gets stomped by the HeartForce.

Preboot could clear due to telepathy.

Post... Still 4 or 5 until we see more telepathy.

1. Rhino
2. Thing
3. Colossus (classic)
4. Namor (fresh out of water but drying out by the second)
5. Thing and She Hulk
6. Thing, She Hulk, Colossus, (Aquaman gets his trident)
7. Cyclops and Rhino (Aquaman gets his trident)

Pre boot could clear with telepathy.
Physically I'd say he goes to 4 and I say split given the arena (he did KO Olympian aka "Greek Superman" and fought the entire Deep SIx"😉

Post Flashpoint I'd say he beats 4 and prolly looses at 5.

Now with 4 the stipulation is Namor is DRYING OUT BY THE SECOND.

That means if Aquaman can last a few minutes then Namor would be significantly weakened which gives him a better chance as the fight goes on.

Why do some believe Rhino can beat Aquaman? Aquaman is most likely stronger, definitely faster, and far more skilled. Spider-man can beat Rhino and Parker is much weaker in strength.

But he (Parker) has greater speed, agility, smarts and powers/gadgets that Aquaman doesn't have.

Yet Parker can hurt him.

Aquaman being much stronger can hurt him too.
But Aquaman is much more agile and quicker than Rhino (not on the level of Spidey) but significantly more.

You fail to realize the skill argument. AM is more skilled than Rhino.

AM is better than Rhino in every way imaginable. Plus Rhino is stupid.

Post wife death Rhino will skewer arthur. Even before that he was the only villain to make Peter beg for life.

Parker also can hurt Namor, Worthy Thing, Firelord and many others...

Of course he can, not denying that. Quicker than Rhino? Depends, Rhino's running speed is superior and his reflexes are enhanced, too.

I don't think AM has any skill feats to speak of...

Rhino can be very well stronger. He's certainly more durable.

I disagree. Rhino is very low class 100. Hell I don't think he's class 100 at all.

Aquaman is stronger.

Aquaman can swim faster than Rhino can run and has shown super speed on land more than once. Aquaman has shown fighting skill multiple times (not on the level of Batman but he is a warrior).

I disagree that Rhino is more durable. Doesn't matter as Aquaman would rock him significantly with each blow.

Just so you know where my mind is, I view Aquaman vs. Rhino as spite tbh.

Okay. Feel free to disagree, but imo their strength difference is debatable, it all depends on how characters are written at the specific time, as always...

Swimming speed doesn't matter in this thread. Pre-dcnu AM yeah, not sure about post-Flashpoint.

He is more durable. He's completely bulletproof - unlike Aquaman whose skin muscle density was recently described as only ten times that of normal human. Here's the scan, courtesy of our beloved guy:

That joke Family Guy did about Aquaman was hilarious.

To be fair that's only speculation on Manta's side.
It completely contradicts Aquaman's feats.
Lifting an Ocean Liner which weighs in excess of 100,000 tons requires much more strength than 10 times that of a normal human.

Ha ha...

Honesly though, back on topic.

Stilt, you and I both know that with the feats he's had post reboot, he's far more durable than ten men.

Guys, stay on topic.

He can take a punch from WM but he bleeds when hit w/ gun fire. Is he similar to Diana where she can take a blow to the face from supes but has relatively poor durability vs sharp objects?

Something like that, yeah, though it should be noted that even though he bleeds, the bullets don't cause any lasting damage. Heck, they barely even slow him down.
