Aquaman vs Frankensten

New 52 versions.

Aquaman has the trident, Frankenstein has the sword.

Who wins?

They had a brief battle in Trinity War.

Nothing conclusive.

Could go either way.
Haven't read the Frankenstein nu DCU series.
Strength should be about equal.
I'd give a slight edge on Aquaman due to better reach and mobility.

Holy mega-scan!

Anyway, going with Frank. The guy tooled OMAC(whom Superman postulated might be stronger than himself) and seemed to handle Billy and Dianna well enough.

Frankie is mega impressive in the DCNU. I'd go with him for now.

Frankenstein has Michael's sword. I'd go with him personally. It would be a good martch, though.

I could certainly see Frankie take a majority, but I believe it would be a good and close fight.

Giving Frankie the majority here. He has some impressive showings like overpowering Captain Marvel. He have some good showings with his Flash team up that I will post soon.

Frank handling Billy is certainly impressive, but his best feat thus far is tooling OMAC.

I always thought Franky owning that humungous monster in the first arc of Franksenstein was bad ass. There was it stated he was an unstoppable killing machine.

Didn't see that fight. Do you have scans?

Aquaman is faster, though.

Also: I made a Wonder Woman vs Frankenstein thread. That should also be interesting.

I'm taking Aquaman.

Eh. Not really. Frankenstein is quite a bit stronger, by what they've shown.

In the scans I posted AQ subdues Frankie with the help of Black Orchid and Hawkman and in the second scan Frankie and AQ grapple and seem equal.

Frankenstein might be stronger based on his fight with Diana and Captain Marvel, but not by that much.

This is the same OMAC who shit-stomped...

Suffice to say, DCnU Frank is an absolute beast.

Frankenstein might be stronger based on his fight with Diana and Captain Marvel, but not by that much.

And isolated panels where they're grapling/charging eachother don't really mean anything - that happens in comics all the time, even with characters of different strength levels. If that had been an extended standstill, then sure, we could have drawn some conclusions.

In the same issues, Frankie has:

1). Engaged and ragdolled Captain Marvel. Then engaged him again, putting him in a lock, with the Billy having to use lightning to escape.
2). Shown engaging Wonder Woman, extended fight, at one point having her on the floor until she regains the position.

He never seems to be below them (and this is further supported by his fight with OMAC). Aquaman, on the other hand, is a notch below Wonder Woman.

Hell, OMAC could probably beast Aquaman.

I'm not arguing that Frank is stronger, just that even if Frank wins (AQ is faster and it's not h2h, they use their gear) it's not gonna be without a good fight.

Frank is beastly, that's all. If Aquaman uses the speed he showed against, say, Wonder Woman, then it could turn out differently.

Since I've basically turned this into a 'Respect Frankenstein' thread, I may as well add the feats you mentioned as well.

Frank throws Billy around like the impetuous child he is:

Appears to grapple with Dianna evenly:

Chokes out Billy on yet another occasion:

Nothing against Arthur, but Frank has the distinct strength advantage.

Yeah that's his best chance. His speed advantage and a really solid weapon.

Also Frank is one of my favorite characters since Morisson first wrote him and I agree he is a beast.

I agree Frank is stronger, my point was that's not a straight h2h fight and AQ's speed and standard equipment greatly increases his damage output.
