Still a really really good feat. Mayhaps way too good considering.
Would you put that above what Aquaman has been doing lately?
This is conflicting. Aquaman is a lot more powerful but this doesn't mean he wins against someone with Panther's capabilities.
I'll wait to see how the Namor fight goes before I make up my mind about his current power levels. It could potentially be extremely high as he did hold off Black Dwarf off panel. This really depends on some factors. He has the tools to wear Aquaman down with his vibranium daggers etc., his suit will allow him to take punishment that would kill most streets and he his superior agility. On the other hand Aquaman would probably kill him with one clean trident stab.
I'd probably give Priest's Panther the edge over current Aquaman in a fight due to his on the feet improvisation, Aquaman having Atlantean weaknesses albeit with much higher tolerance and he's not as overwhelmingly powerful as a Superman being with flight would be.
