Aquaman, Namor vs Black Adam

Started by Surtur18 pages

So right at the "they move like lightning bolts" part you see them throwing punches at each other as they fight at super speed. Just look at their arms, that isn't just pushing.

They fought in Futures End neither was amped and its a possiblr New52 timeline so I don't see why it's not comsiderable.

I think the lightning post in comparing lightning gets into the logic that anyone Thor hurt with lightning, Static can as well or Electro can as well because. Despite them being conscious and still being able to fight in the instance they showed they can be hurt by it so Electro or Static can beat them by that logic. It's a bit generous in my opinion. Wording this again because I feel like my previous post werent well worded.

Because BA ripped Franky's arm off:, Franky ran from him, AND it's a future timeline that has no bearing on current DCnU (at least, on this forum).

We don't consider POSSIBLE futures.

@Surt

Throwing punches, yes... and Adam getting pushed back, that too... but where do you see Adam actually tagging Garrick?

I don't think Jay could take a punch from a character with that degree of superhuman strength.

I'm rather confused, as you see them throwing punches.

Lol Black Adam missed all his Punches in those scans.

If we're using Pre52 instances Aquaman has actual reaction feats just the same.

But as I'm aware we're using Nu52 and that Jay fight is Pre52.

Exactly.

I said they were fighting at super speed. I'm not sure how I'm wrong about that. Yes, they are dodging each others hits. The point is they are fighting at super speed.

The point is it wasn't like Adam was missing by a mile. They were having a high speed fight.

BA wasn't dodging much.

You see him Jay actually connecting with his punches. Plus, he's getting pushed back as f*ck...

But again..the point was to show two people fighting at super speed. Aquaman is not Jay Garrick So instead of being able to dodge those punches..you get where I am going with this?

I'm sure he has displayed at least some degree of metahuman speed here, no arguing that.

But is that speed enough to be a match for that of Aquaman and Namor? Maybe yes. Maybe not.

Arthur and Namor aren't featless in the speed department. Especially Namor isn't, who has his whole 616 history of feats intact.

Aquaman has showings to Reflexively react to speedsters and just the same has been compared to as lightning I don't see Teth using speed to be to big of a problem if we're also including Pre52 showings. Hell Pre52 Aquaman dropped a speedster by the name of Zum

Nobody ever said they were featless. Just that the feats they have just aren't as impressive. The speed needed to have some kind of sustained fight at super speed with Jay Garrick is a good deal above anything Namor or Aquaman show on a consistent basis. Especially when most of their shit is vague PIS filled stuff. It's not really the same to me.

Yes, both Arthur and Namor have speed and reflexes beyond normal. But they don't come close to Black Adam or Jay Garrick or Superman or any of those people.

Keep in mind Frankenstien is a zombie his body is stitched together so it's not to suprising his durability isn't on par with his strength. Not to mention pulling in two different directions

He was strong enough to grapple is my point in the fight he showed he could grapple as well as hurt Teth with a kick or punch.

How consistent is it to fight Jay regarded with Pre52 in the inclusion he gets dropped with TP.

You either think Aquaman can fight at super speed or you don't.

I think he can react at Super speed and process stuff at Super speed which is all he'd need to drop him with TP..

I understand npw, you are saying if this was post crisis black adam he would lose to post crisis aquaman because that aquaman had the potent telepathy. Okay, well the problem is I think yes Aquaman does think at super speed, but I also think the problem is Black Adam could legitimately kill him before he uses his psychic powers.

Aquaman could react is was I'm stating. He's reacted to Barry in chase of a villain, He's percieved a Wally clone, He's dropped a Martian Speedster that kept pace with Wally, He has suprised Wally on above water, He's shown to dash on top of water which requires speed, His speed on land has been suggested just the same as lightning fast, and he's been stated as faster on land so no I don't see Black Adam doing anything speed wise to him before he can tp him. If we're going to argue consistency Adam doesn't show often times that level of speed the only instance really highly showed is that Jay scan is a bit much to hinge an entire debate on one character he's kept up with at speed. When he fought J'onn in WW3 he didn't use any speed.

Fighting?

He was getting pushed back all the time. If Adam had actually connected once, the fight would've been over.

The fight looks nice on panel, I'll give you that... but I don't see anything particularly impressive about it, sorry.


That's if you are blatantly lowballing. They were moving fast enough that people around them seemed like statues.

The point was the speed which you are blatantly not addressing. Classic smokescreen here.

Pretty sure Jay has survived hits from top tier bricks. Speedforce....
