that Namor, on average, isn't in the same kind of ballpark as someone like Superman (or any top herald).
Superman is still ridiculously faster, stronger and while the trident will help, it's not as if Superman doesn't regularly fight people that can utilise his vulnerabilities/weaknesses.

Look at Namor history...battle fts, then imagine him with this amp.
Superman needs one more punch to knock out Namor than usual. Look what happened to John.
Or Kyle

If anybody thinks Namor's willpower is better than John or Kyle, they need some help.
Originally posted by Cogitoyeah, that one guy was right. You guys are just gonna completely disregard the ring like it's some sort of non factor....fine, whatever.
What exactly makes him an elite GL? Several people of his weight class and above have been given rings and don't suddenly become godlike. Hell, whether there's even a boost is sometimes arguable.What willpower examples are supposed to elevate Namor to the best of the best of Lanterns?
Oh yeah, and being resistant or completely immune to mind control and illusionists due to willpower might do the trick.

That's pre-reboot.
I don't really recall what Namor's trident does. Seems like it only gives him hydrokinesis over water. A power which, against Superman, doesn't seem all that useful. Seems that it being a stabby-stab is all it'd be good for here.
If it goes underwater, Namor can stand toe-to-toe with Superman.
Assuming the GL ring is as useful as it should be, that ought to put him over the top.
It's up to Superman to avoid the trident and keep the fight out of the water.

Hal had more than a year's experience with the ring when he first met Superman in DCnU JL.
It didn't go well for him, so a GL ring is hardly that much of an issue. Unless people really want to start comparing willpower feats of Hal vs Namor?
In addition, yes, Namor has one of Superman's weaknesses (magic). Superman has one of Namor's weaknesses (HV), and it's long range to boot.
If we want to take the He-Man fight as a guide, Superman would've bull rushed him, Namor would hold him (his own strength + GL construct), then received a facefull of HV. Then die.
