Aquaman vs Thing

Namor received almost no damage from a point blank blast from surfer too.

Didn't look like surfer was trying to kill Namor with that shot. Typical Surfer casual talk fight.

The Thing probably.

He has fought evenly for several panels, and some upgrades have happened since then. Not saying those upgrades are going to be much help to ko Hulk, but they make up for the few loose fights in which Namor actually does decent against Hulk.

This is how Thing's fights with hulk end, he either runs away or gets knocked out.

Also its not just a few fights, Namor has fought hulk for a dozen tomes and has always held his own.

I'll give you that, I actually didn't see that you did two posts in succession 😛

Ummmmmmmmmm... What does "Ben doesn't have the feats against the top guys that Namor has" mean?

🙄

It means that Namor has higher feats against higher people that Thing does.

Or what Bentley said.

And even if you want to go with the idea that Thing is currently above Namor, how does that put him above current, submarine tossing, cruise-ship lifting Aquaman?

Please, don't be the kind of person that posts nice Namor feats to help a bad argument.

First you have to show proof Failmor can strike with the force of a "small" meteor. Then we'll move on from there.

Stated on panel, Namor shake planets with his fist.

The trident tips the battle in Aquaman's favor, he also has a distinctive speed advantage on water. Those are at least two elements Namor doesn't really bring to the table.

You still didn't answer my question... Which characters does Namor have better fight feats against than Ben does against them?

Hulk for one. Hercules too iirc.

I'm still wondering why you think Thing will beat Aquaman, other than him being from Marvel.

That's a NO to both of them. Juss sayn'

So you want me to answer your question, but you won't answer mine?

Ben is not only a better tactical fighter; he's also stronger. Never mind the heart factor.

Based on what?

And no, I would argue Aquaman is both stronger and a better fighter. Not to mention having better reflexes, being more ruthless, and more durable.

And then there's telepathy. And the trident.

None of those things that you just stated are true; other than potential his reflexes are better. And AM's trident isn't standard issue

Aquaman might be stronger than Thing, but its hardly a difference that matters much, they are on the same weight class. I'd say they are about the same skill class too, but Thing makes a living off fighting more powerful people than he is and hanging in there for unreasonable amounts of time.

Dcnu, the trident is standard issue, Tony Stark.

Pre flashpoint, he's got the water hand.

Can't speak for PC, so thing has a chance there....

This comment shows that you have no idea about Aquaman whatsoever.

The Trident has been standard equipment since Aquaman's resurrection in Brightest Day.

So even if you take the last time he appeared pre Flashpoint he still has his agility / speed feats on top of the Trident. or if you go pre Brightest Day he has the Water Hand which makes it even more onesided.
Thing is $crewed either way.

As for skill he has trained with the Atlantean military (to the point he was the one handpicking and training the soldiers after he became king), JLA (Batman and Hawkman on panel among others), and had training sessions as a member of the JL against other teams (like the Titans), etc etc.
Not to mention Aquaman has actual strategic feats under his belt both pre and post Flashpoint and is not a dumb brick that won't use his huge advantages in this battle.
Even if Thing is more skilled in pure h2h (highly doubtful), AQ wrecks with the Trident.

DCnU likewise also wrecks.

Thing only has his fists to use in this battle and both pre and post Flashpoint Aquaman has taken punches from characters like Wonder Woman. Ben is not putting Aquaman down via his strength.
On the other hand AQ using his speed has to connect a few times with the Trident and Ben goes down.

Simple and efficient.

Also PC and PreFlashpoint are the same Aquaman.
The Golden Age (Earth 2 Aquaman) made his last appearance around 1958 (apart from some cameos in All Star Squadron), everything after that is Earth 1 / Mainstream Aquaman.

If by PC we mean Earth 2 Aquaman, then Thing takes it.

Thing kills Aquaman with his own trident and then thanks him for bringing it to the battle 😈

😆 😆 😆
Even carver gave AM the win over a Marvel character.
That alone should be enough to show how out of his depth (hu hu hu) the one dimensional (powerwise) slow moving only good for punching stuff Thing is.

AQ though would be kind enough to return his remains after he massacres him.
