Thor with his axe vs Aquaman with his trident

I've always thought of Aquaman to Supes as namor is to Thor/hulk etc., he can hang in there and give a good fight but as soon as they go all out, it's pretty much over. But apparently Arthur has gotten an upgrade.

The old aquaman couldn't really hang with Supes AT ALL, but now he can take and give a few.

Okay, so best consistent strength feats for Nu Aquaman? Best durability feats?

Actually I think that's a pretty good comparison, assuming you're talking about pure physicality.

So the old Aquaman couldn't hang with Supes at all. But the current one..okay, let me ask you. Aquaman tries to replicate NU Supermans feat of bench pressing the weight of the planet. What do you feel happens when he tries to replicate it? Does he succeed?

No one succeeds in replicating Superman's feats.

They can still take and give a few....

They can give a few...what? They can give a few punches on the same level? But, if Aquaman can't replicate the feat, how can he throw punches on the same level as Superman?

Also maybe I just imagined this, but I could of sworn I saw a feat of blood actually being drawn from Aquaman after him being shot with a gun. Not a crappy pistol or anything, but still..bullets drew blood. Am I wrong here? Am I thinking of something else? Could of sworn I saw the feat and that it happened after the Nu, as opposed to it being something that happened to the old version. Like I said, I could be wrong, and I kinda hope I am.

Stop putting words in my mouth.

I said that Aquaman could take a few punches and give a few punches, unlike the previous iteration who couldn't really affect Superman with his punches or take a single one.

It sounds like you haven't read a single phucking one of the new 52 comics where Aquaman appears.

That would be a good starting point if you're going to debate someone.

I flat out asked you what you meant by "can take and give a few". How strong do you feel Aquaman is in comparison to Superman? Half as strong? Less? More?

Er, okay so..the bullets drawing blood thing..I just imagined that?

In case it wasn't obvious, it meant punches.

Though you have seemingly forgotten his fight with Wonder-Woman or other feats...

Or him actually punching Superman...

So then you feel the bullet showing is just..well, nonsense then? Doesn't count?

I'm also asking how strong you feel he is compared to Superman? You'd think he'd have to be decently close to his level to make Supes notice his hits, yes?

So maybe bench pressing the planet is a no go. Okay, Aquaman attempts the same thing with our moon, what happens?

AQ can hang with the bigs for a bit. Things like benching virtual earth weight is a high end feat and should not be considered an average.

As for this thread, AQ is still severely outmatched. In a real fight, he gets wrecked every single time.

What Kris is saying is that you're lowballing or simply haven't read any nu aquaman to ask such a question

Does anyone have that scan of Aquaman being called one of the most powerful being in the OMNIverse. That's if we are clinging to high fts.

Who's clinging to high feats

I don't see anyone really clinging to feats. And yes I am referring to pure physical ability.

I think most agree, round 2 is pretty much Thor all day, even if we used Arthur's high and the Odinsons avg.

But unless he throws Jarnborn at ftl or it just cleaved straight through the Trident I don't see him taking very many of round 1 at all.

Thor destroys Aquaman in stayability and stamina showings, but with the trident and jarnbjorn, do people really see this lasting that long?

First-blood is a tossup.

Second fight should favour Thor but given how insanely aggressive he's fighting with the axe I have a hard time imagining the fight lasting very long, in other words, his stayability and stamina advantage won't come into play.

Are the two aware of the first blood rule in the first round? If so, Thor has a long distance attack that could potentially one-shot Aquaman (Lightning).

And I don't if Arthur has done it but Thor has thrown his axe with impressive accuracy and force a few times now.

Ah 3 feet deep water for scenario 1? AQ has the edge.

Why would 3 feet of water give him the edge?

Not sure what kind of advantage that lends him.

Both aware. But melee combat only.

Basically put round 1 as a test of skill/speed and round 2 as total combat ability.

Maneuverability probably. Dude will swim circles and shiet. Lol.
At least the only thing i can come up with.

Yeah, put it there so Aquaman is allowed a bit of maneuvering room.
