Jim Hammond vs. Aquaman

Jim Hammond

vs.

Aquaman

Fight takes places in Hawaii, can progress from there.

I think Jim holds an advantage due to flight. Is this DCnU Aquaman?

Yes.

I know very little about Hammond, tbh.

Bullets leave superficial wounds on him. I question his level of durability. Im wondering just how much of hammond's flame Aquaman can take. I'm assuming he can be dehydrated.

This is a lot closer than people realize.

Hammond should be immune to TP (being an android and all) and his flames are no joke.

But...........AM is pretty fast and if he lands one good hit with that Trident....

Split 50/50.

His durability against temperatures and blunt trauma is fine. He's had a lava vent explode on him and only suffered minor burns.

He might be able to be dehydrated eventually, but it won't be quickly.

Taking AM.
I like Zop's trident point (no pun intended).
One solid hit from that could end things fairly quick. I'm betting AM's durability can withstand initial attacks from Hammond.

I think Aquaman has the greater potential to end the fight with a solid blow with his weapon, but Jim's got the mobility and range.

I think it would be a great fight, considering all the scuffles Jim's given Namor over the years.

The fight setting is also to AM's advantage me thinks. He's only a stone's throw away from bodies of water...

Hammonds flame is pretty strong. I doubt with aquaman level of durability can withstand much of it. Just being near him may start to have a dehydrating effect. Idk how powerful aquamans trident is but hell have to hit him with it first. Hammonds flight makes it easier for him to evade and attack.

This is like jim vs namor. Except that namor flies, is stronger, and more durable.

AM would school Namor. And that Trident drew blood/blinded Darkseid, if he lands a clean hit, the fight's over.

But like you said, Hammond's flame is nothing to sneeze at.

Dcnu aquaman gets hurt by bullets. Namor would knock him flat out.

I didn't even know the trident was apart of this fight. I know for a fact he didn't use it all the time. He didn't use it in any of the new issues I've read. Either way hammonds flame has subdued many more durable characters. Like people that are completely bulletproof.

hammond

DCnU Aquaman used the trident in plenty of issues of Justice League. And his skin being damaged by bullets doesn't equate into Namor being able to knocking him flat out with any sort of ease or anything. Wonder Woman's not bullet proof, and she'd handle Namor just fine. Anyone who can take punches from Superman and other top tier super strong beings should no sell bullets anyway, but that's comics for you.

He almost always had the trident with him in the first 12 issues of Aquaman.

I figured he did, but I haven't read much of his solo series outside of the first couple of issues. I'll probably get back issues of Aquaman and Wonder Woman here in a few weeks.

I read most of his new series. Idk if the trident can really be considered standard equipment.

And for the record, I do think that Namor would physically outperform Aquaman. But the margin between them has certainly seemed to close somewhat as far as that aspect goes.

I think aquaman durability is questionable as compared to other high class metas. Not only that, but I think he is even more susceptible to being overwhelmed by Jims flame due to his water based physiology.
