Aquaman vs. Wolverine, Storm & Cyclops

Also demonstrates how fast he fights underwater.

He went from dodging lightning, to creating a whirlpool, punching a demon and dodging lightning at the same time. Then punching the demon that fired lightning at him all in a page with a few panels.

TBH, I have a natural bias against underwater feats, because as far as I'm concerned, he'd outspeed most people underwater, so the point ends up being moot.

That, and I'm genuinely unsure of how well underwater feats translate to dry land. He's fast, sure, but water is a much different medium to air etc.

Not impressed by those lightning scans. It's not true lightning. This seems far better imo.

"True" lightning.

WTF.

Alot of the stuff I reference is on this thread.

This is the War of the Gods instance.

His reaction suggest he wasn't expecting the lightning.

Huh, War of the Gods wasn't on my list for sure. Dammit.

It would actually be harder to be mobile underwater.

1, you got more pressure on you. That's the reason or one of the reason Aquaman and the Atlanteans are so strong and fast.

2, mobility wise your moving more muscles. As humans we move are legs for movement. Underwater it would require pretty much every muscle.

In regards to Carvers response... Lol at Zeus's lightning not counting as legit lightning speed for some reason. First time I heard that one... I assumed since it's a Wonder Woman reaction feat in so many RT's. It was because it was lightning. But I guess it's not much a feat for Wonder Woman cause Zeus's lightning is "Fake lightning" Even though he's the God of that element..

I could give you the Demon thing... You'd have to explain what fake lightning is to me though.. and regardless the Zeus scan backs the demon one up.

I agree, but there's still the question of translation for me.

I mean, Wolverine wouldn't compare to Aquaman underwater. Not a chance. But above ground? He's very, very fast. Water slows everything down, air doesn't, at least, not to the same extreme.

Water is 832 times more dense actually then air. Then pressure changes depending on where your at. It's kind of hard to factor in though given all your muscles are used underwater when there not really needed for movement other than your legs on land.

Regardless we atleast no anything anyone does underwater should be greater on land. Atleast in regards to speed and strength.

Oh, I agree. Aquaman should be fast as hell above ground. Back in the year one stuff they showed how he needed time to get used to how strong he was out of water. They really should be doing the same with his speed.

His speed seems to be one of those things that gets teased alot.

Same with his "skill".

Those are two things I'd like to see get fleshed out and ships of been fleshed out along time ago.

Telepathy would be a third.

He's one of those characters that "should" be able to do things given the nature of his powers, things that are logical extensions of his powers, but either writers haven't thought of it yet, or just aren't bothered showing it.

Skill I agree with. Preboot they showed him doing some training at least, but with all his resources and his time in Atlantis, combat training should be a given. Hell, even sparring with the League would be something you'd think would happen.

Telepathy... The sooner he starts to show more of that, the better.

This is Arthur's fight to lose if he chooses, no more.
