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.
I guess that makes it so... 😈

Overruled.
The point was to show how persuasive and honourable Arthur is.
As he layeth the smack down on Ben.

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.
Pre-CRISIS Silver/Bronze Ages Aquaman canon for Post-CRISI/New Earth-Pre-FLASHPOINT Aquaman?

Yes.
His Golden Age appearances though have been retconed as a different character (Earth 2 Aquaman, with yellow gloves instead of green - that Aquaman was active during WW2 and fought Nazis and U-Boats)

Yeah, I figured Golden Age Aquaman was like Kal-L, ect. Wasn't Aquaman's original origin something about his dad found secrets of Atlantis and AM was trained? If so, is this still the origin for Earth-2 Aquaman?
And what makes Silver/Bronze Age Aquaman appearances canon for Post-CRISIS? Genuine curiosity.

Your are spot on. Earth-2 Aquaman is like Kal-L.
Earth 2 Aquaman's father found some ruins of Atlantis, and then he did some scientific procedure to give Aquaman his powers. It's basically more or less the origin of Arthur Joseph Curry (the Sword of Atlantis Aquaman).
Well Aquaman's history has been kept intact up to Flashpoint.
Numerous times there have been direct references or entire plots based on his Silver Age stuff, that get resolved post Crisis.
Everyone in the Aquaman mythos has been relatively unchanged, and the changes are always mentioned in the comics.
For example Ocean Master's history is one continuous story.
In Time and Tide we see some of the modern changes but his Silver Age origin is the same as being shown in the very same story.
In Aquaman's case writers mostly added stuff they liked without changing the history, and when they changed something they made it fit with previous continuity.
Another perfect example is the Silver Age and Modern Age Lava Trolls.
In the modern age Aquaman not only recalls his first meeting with them exactly as it was, but they got the original artist (the Great Jim Apparo) to draw the flashback in the modern issue, to make sure it enhances continuity.
