Vision and Thunderstrike sucker attacked Namor then Hercules piled on. Namor overpowered him and got him in a choke hold which Herc needed to break the floor underneath them to escape. He was easily his superior underwater and only broke off the fight to handle Crystal who was manhandling the rest of his team. He made a fool of her too.
He went at him underwater and was handled with ease. They fought before on land in the mid 70s and Namor stalemated him till he exhaused himself because it'd been WEEKS since he had been hydrated.
But it was clearly a sucker shot. Exactly like this :
Namor was going through personal 'issues' during that phase of the Avengers. Need I remind you Hercules was acting like a little b|tch after his beatdown from the Masters of Evil and needed Thor to snap him out of it. Mental state affects character performance.
No one is disputing this. [/B]
You literally have to be MANY times stronger to break free directly. A person being in a choke hold with equal strength or being slightly stronger than the person who has them in the hold makes it's impossible to break free directly.
