Ok, your scared to be quoted by someone who doesn't agree with you. That hints at insecurity and the inability of allowing a differing opinion. I'm not whiny and I don't care if a majority disagrees and I don't get my way. People who get mad about not getting their way are typically children..
I..
...what?
Did you not get the part where quoting me is a recent problem caused by changes to the forum?
Are you having a nervous breakdown?

You're randomly blabbering about me not allowing you to quote me because of insecurity, even after it's been explained that it's a forum glitch. It's like you hit your head.
Will you have a picture of me in a costume as Black Manta on your wall?
Will you dress as Aquaman and furiously throw darts at it?
I don't know why I'd have a picture of you... I didn't know your username until I saw it in a quote from PR's post. Didn't know who you were until today, and this has honestly been pointless no idea how it went from discussing fictional characters to talking about having pictures of you in fantasy outfits..

Anyway, hopefully next time you'll have actual arguments on your position instead of "Don't bring up Black Manta, it's not fair! Don't bring up Catman, it's not fair! We only count writers who constantly write him, and out of those issues, only those not involving Black Manta!".
Maybe somebody your Superman/WW blitzing, 'can't find a way this entire team beats him' fantasy Aquaman will become a reality. But don't count on it.

Yep.Which is why I don't see why you think Aquaman wins. This won't be a slugfest, they'll dance around him and wear him off with webbing/pounding/impaling/electro etc.
At the start of the thread, I didn't consider Ock (sans adamantium), Lizard, Electro, Goblin or Rhino to be any kind of threat to him. Which is why I asked for feats. I was obviously wrong about their power levels.
I didn't know Electro could mess with brains, and i'm not confident enough, even if it was preboot Arthur with his telepathy, that he couldn't be affected by it.

Philo and EG, might be best to put each other on ignore.
Couldn't Arthur mess with Electro's brain first?
Oct's probably the biggest card after Electro (Even Rhino isn't nearly the threat Oct is).
But if you're quick enough, you could deal with the arms. I mean, they tag Spidey and Matt all the time, but they can grab the arms and stick them in wall sockets or stay ahead of them enough to land a kick.
And Arthur is faster then Spidey, isn't he? He should be able to grab the arms and slam Oct around.

If Aquaman has his telepathy at David levels, then I could see him doing well unless of course, some of the people on this team have tp resistance I wasn't aware of. How do symbiotes fare against it?

Depends on the version of Arthur. I personally was composting Pre-Flashpoint and Post-Flashpoint Aquaman. Cause everyone on this site seems to do that for DC characters apparently. Recently with the Cassandra thread.
Anyone who can attack internally and bypass his physicals should be the teams MVP. As far as I'm aware he can also tp them as well.

We used to differentiate until DC themselves started to make things less clear.
Ideally, people should be stating in the OP which version they're using.

Lol. See, there it is, I forgot about tp entirely. But from your post here, it sounds like it's probably not a great way for a win??
Anyway, no, there isn't much in the way of tp resistance on this team. Electro would resist it (see the Nate Grey feat earlier). And Lizard's been shown to be immune to this kind of thing because his brain physiology is so different. Then again, Arthur commands sea life. So maybe a literal lizard brain would make him MORE susceptible.
Other than that, I can't recall specific tp resistance. Otto has probably prep-built something to do it at some point. And writers love giving the symbiotes random haxx resistances. But I can't think of any offhand for tp.

The current Aquaman arc seems to be focusing on Aquaman's tp, given when Abnett originally first penned Arthur in the PAD era. I wouldnt be to shocked if Arthur's tp starts going in that direction.
Regardless I don't see Aquaman TPing anyone here with just his Post-Flashpoint feats. Pre-Flashpoint included that's a different story.

It depends, as EG said. In the 90s, David and the other writers went through great pains to make it clear that Aquaman's greatest weapon was his telepathy, almost to the point where for a good half-decade, he has very, very few strength feats. It balanced out a bit as time went on, but for the longest time they loved writing stories about his telepathy.
Then the reboot happened, and DC flipped things around. Aquaman was impressive physically before, but now they were pushing him as more of a powerhouse than ever, but now it was at the expense of his telepathy.
My honest to god theory is that someone at DC, possibly Johns, does NOT like the idea of Aquaman having "normal" telepathy, and tries to keep things localised to marine life.
I honestly don't expect him to win this fight. I just get wary going in to Aquaman threads where even today, some people tend to treat him as being no better than say, Colossus or something.
Not that Colossus is awful or anything, but still.

That's something at least. I just hope his characterisation improves because from what I saw of that Superman issue, it was awful.
