Sure but let's assume Teth speeds his way to Aquaman, he has the feats to suggest he can react.
The team thing is nice. Post-Crisis Aquaman has out muscled a All-Knowing something that physically beat Powergirl in the same arc. Killed Timmorn something giving Aquaman, Sentinel (Alan Scott) and Jay trouble, traded blows with Despero in Crisis on Conscience ironically written by Johns, Consistently beat up Triton a guy able to subdue a young Diana and beat on a young Arthur. Took a sustained blast from Starro same book was shown to one shot Orion in space. Fell from Orbit at speeds faster then thought. Ragdolled around by Amazo and was fine, has been able to hurt Amazo. Able to impress Titus as well. I agree Pre-Flashpoint Adam is stronger but I don't see it as a stomp on any regard. I don't think he puts him down in a few Punches at all. Aquaman has taken worse from repetitive team busters he just doesn't get the writer hot seat often and pretty much Johns has treated him pretty highly in terms of being a powerhouse.

The White Martians were pretty much fodder who kept getting one shotted. Flash one shotted one with an infinite mass punch. Flash one shotted another by throwing his weapon back on him. Kyle one shotted one by punching it with a construct. Superman took one out in first punch it showed him throw.
Why should I put stock in Aqualad taking one out like that? And following your logic, Waterboy can simply do this to anyone because you think he doesn't need to enter his mind like that. You're applying a no limits fallacy and then you're going to start putting arbitrary limits on it once I question it. Why can't he do this to Silver Surfer, Thanos, Superman, Xavier, Dark Phoenix, Cassandra Nova? Why can't Aquaman simply beat them like this too?
Not to mention, you ****ing rights it was tp. Just because it wasn't explicably stated that he was entering his mind, doesn't mean he wasn't entering his mind. You're making up context and assuming that it's indefensible. You know how to defend against that? TP defense. You know what White Martians lacked that entire story? Any semblance of defense. You answer me however why a tp battle couldn't take place there? Uh uh... because basil... No, that's not how things work. He simply entered his brain and went for the most vulnerable part of it against a guy who was literally making fun of Aquaman because he had "no powers".
And last but not least, you're taking a story where Aquaman got one shotted by a water spout.

Couldn't give a shit about speed. But no, Aquamen is nowhere near as fast. That's stupid to even entertain.
And you're posting feats that are like knock off brands of Black Adam's and assuming they apply.
"He beat a guy who beat Powergirl"
Here's Adam stomping Power Girl and Alan Scott while sharing power with Billy and Mary

"Killed Timmorn something giving Aquaman, Sentinel (Alan Scott) and Jay trouble"
Here's Black Adam running through Power Girl, Hawkgirl, Alan, Hour Man, Hawkman, Jay

Even if you extend that which I predict you will do, it had Black Adam beating up Lyta Hall while Hawkman with Alan Scott pouring his power into his mace failed to put him down with essentially cheapshots, while Bladam was weakening

Funny thing is as soon as the surprise wore off, Black Adam actually caught the mace, and then the fight was stopped. Aquaman is so close to his strength and durability!
"traded blows with Despero in Crisis on Conscience ironically written by Johns"
Here's Adam trading blows with and defeated Billy with Shazam's power

"Consistently beat up Triton a guy able to subdue a young Diana and beat on a young Arthur."
Adam consistently beats up Captain Marvel, a guy who beat up a mind controlled Wonder Woman, Flash, Martian Manhunter, and Kyle with a broken arm

"Took a sustained blast from Starro same book was shown to one shot Orion in space. Fell from Orbit at speeds faster then thought."
Gets knocked to the moon by Onimar Synn and rams him into the planet and taking a couple shots while being none the worse for wear

"Ragdolled around by Amazo and was fine, has been able to hurt Amazo."
I don't even know why you'd bring that up. You have to know what's coming right?
"Able to impress Titus as well."
Anyway, here's Black Adam knocking around the General, Uber and Amazo in an ambush and it took Grodd, Pycho Purate, and Silver Banshee to bring him down. Two people beyond Aquaman, and especially Pycho Purate

Aquaman is nowhere near Bladam in strength. Not even close
And I'm not looking at any of that respect thread. You want to prove your point, then do it. Don't just throw a deck of cards at me and tell me you have 4 of a kind. You're just blasting a load and hoping one makes it to the egg. I'm not sifting through your load
