Aquaman, Namor vs Black Adam

Started by riv667218 pages

I may have to change my mind on a split. This is looking more like a BA majority.
Sweet repping, DS.

Nice to see his bad assness carried over in the reboot. Captain Marvel i have not been fond of.

Y is nu adam being discussed? He doesnt have enough appearances tp warrant a thread.

Post crisis Adam is too fast for them.

I posted a feat of him fighting with Jay Garrick at super speed. Something neither Aquaman nor Namor could ever hope to accomplish. Jay wasn't anywhere near as fast as Wally, but he wasn't exactly slow either.

Outlier

Namor's taken Whizzer while outnumbered...

Black Adam

Although both Namor and Arthur are strong they severely lack speed compared to Adam.

Adam is fast but he doesn't really have a tendency to fight like that against other bricks. He was kind of force to fight like that against Jay but he may not resort to using his speed and would most likely brawl it out with Namor and AM instead.

Of course if he did use that speed it'd be an asset but it's unlikely that he would. You gotta take character into consideration in these fights unless of course they're blood lusted.

Namor and Aquaman Drop him. Speed isnt making a difference here

Nah, if he fought them the same way he fought Jay he'd trounce them quite easily

Adam is usually bloodlusted, and why would he let himself get beat to death?

You just illustrated something perfect actually. This scan is why the mere act of fighting someone with super speed isn't enough. This scan seems like classic speedster PIS you find a lot. Like when Quicksilver runs straight into Hulk's arm that he stuck out or something like that.

I mean Whizzer doesn't seem to really be using his speed there. Compare that to the BA speedfeat where they are specifically drawn fighting at super speed, with the narration even talking about it as well.

Also even if you want to take it at face value Whizzer is way slower then Jay Garrick.

I know, just threw it out there for conversation's sake.
Thanks for catching it! 👆

Namor also reacted to blur,and was able to handle the members of the squadron supreme before hyperion showed up with his city. Quicksilver didn't run straight into hulk"s arm,he tried to blitz hulk,and hulk reacted,just because they are not speedsters dosent mean they can't react to one

True.
A lot of super strong characters have at least superhuman reflexes. Hulk has caught tank rounds in flight. Those are NOT slow.

There is at least one time I'm pretty sure he is running around Hulk in a circle and Hulk sticks his arm out and boom Quicksilver runs into it. You are essentially saying Hulk has reflexes on the level of Quicksilver.

No, he was running at Hulk at super speed and got slapped.

Okay, but that is still a variation of the classic speedster PIS.

Why when Hulk has on numerous of occasions slapped speedsters in the face? Remember, he also outpaced Ironman by foot. Outran his thrusters.
