zop, i don't have to trust you--i've seen heat weaken and harm him numerous times. no trust necessary. you do like to cherry-pick that one feat though. i know however, should i show a couple of times where heat worked, you'd say i was lowballing. on average, he absolutely does NOT withstand '3 human torches'.their strength feats will go to namor, but 1on1 battles? not nearly as one-sided as you want to make it out to be. simon has gone toe-to-toe with almost every heavyweight in marvel and done well. how many times has namor barely (or not at all) handled thing.....?
don't highball. namor would beat simon. it would NOT be lop-sided by any stretch of the imagination.
this is also a 4-man battle. it would be easy for vision to attack anyone at anytime while they were fighting someone. carver made a good find with juggs. but there's no reason it needs to be a back attack. at all. namor swings, vision is intangible, phase attack. simple. most survive or handle it because he doesn't WANT to kill or risk killing. if vision doesn't want to be hit, namor simply cannot hit him and it would be a draw. easier to see a phase attack working before that happens. if vision fights smart, uses his heat and stealth, he should take this in the end.
Namor has withstood heat attacks before. That much isn't even debatable. His high is beyond anything Vision is capable of producing. Hell his AVERAGE vs heat attacks is greater than any heat Vision has produced on panel. He's fought Human Torches (plural) throughout his career for phucks sake and survived and won.
Regarding Vision phasing. He's been affected by physical objects at least TWICE despite being 'intangible'. Freaking Hulk punched him in the back of the head while he was phasing.
Compare their fights with common foes. Namor > Simon. By a comfortable margin too. Then compare their fights against each other. Thwap! Thwap! Thwap! Thwap! Thwap! Thwap!
Let me make this easy for you. Vs Common Foes :
Venom
Namor beat the phuck out of Venom despite Venom getting the drop on him and weakening him with a specially devised weapon.
Simon was getting manhandled by Venom.
Hercules
Namor has fought Hercules to a standstill on multiple occasions.
Simon got his faced smashed in by Herc.
Abomination
Namor fought him on even terms. Neither side really gaining an advantage.
Simon was getting his sh|t pushed in (black eye, bloody nose, bruised face) till he used some powerlines to fry Abom.
Hulk
Namor has actual victories over Savage Hulk (seen by many as being more powerful than Prof Hulk).
Simon held his own for a little while vs Prof Hulk (Grey Hulk humiliated him though).
Vs Each Other. Simon got Namor with a sucker punch once. Later Simon, with help from Sentry AND Ares, couldn't handle Namor. Namor humiliated Simon using him as a battering ram to attack Ares and Sentry "Evil Mary Marvel" style.
Get it now? Namor is simply superior to Simon going by on panel fights and feats. Don't believe me, go hunting in his Respect thread or maybe Abhi will take pity and link the relevant scans. I'm done here.
