Silver Surfer vs Aquaman

IIRC, and I admit I need to dig that comic out, but Surfer was already a celeb on the planet and everything. Was the World breaker before it was cool.

Hulk was definitely weakened, but the disc on his chest had something to do with it too, because it was being used to limit Surfers comic abilities I believe. As soon as it came off he popped the discs off the other gladiators' chests.

The guidebook gives a good overview. Surfer had arrived only days ago and is discovered in an effort to find an opponent who can beat Hulk.

👆 looks like they were both weakened. And I was wrong.

Interesting how it says how Surfer was only defeated by the teamwork of Hulks allies....

if hulk was weakened, i'd completely forgotten that bit. it was expressly stated by ss at the end of that book that he wasn't only cut off from the pc in the fight, but was weakened in other ways too. THAT bit i remembered. 👆

2006-2007.

He was weakened and so was Norrin, but there was a major difference in their mindsets.

People always love to leave out the scans describing in detail on how intoxicated Surfer was with his gladiator experience.

Me too, IIRC the red king mentioned that before they faced in the arena or something.

This seems to indicate that Hulk comes earlier:

Edit. Not sure why the links often don't work, but if you quote me and copy and paste link, you can see scan. Sorry.

Not that I was saying he's a better fighter then Norrin though?

i kind of get the impression that there was a time when would relish a gladiator fight but at the time he just isn't about that life and hates it.

I did think that it was impressive that hulk wailed on SS and as soon as he got a bit a Power Cosmic he bounced up like it was nothing.

I'd give Aquaman the edge in skill, but I honestly don't think he has the strength or durability that Surfer does. Surfer should win unless Aquaman can out-fight him, imo.

He was weakened but he was still stronger than Arthur asked off what he did during planet hulk.

Lol. Not when he fought Surfer.

Surfer had to one time amp just to match and exceed Thing. That means he is normally around Thing level in strength.

Pretty good fighting for Surfer:

Hulk at the very beginning of Planet Hulk, Was really weakened. He wasn't healing properly and Korg actually got the better of him.

Difference is, Hulk tried to reason with Surfer, while Surfer loved his obedience disk.

Surfer did alright but he took a heavy beating from a guy who even weakened was ably to toss a big rock that seemingly broke a mountain apart and then kept a planet something like twice Earth's size from breaking apart with sheer brawn. It's a loss but to ascertain where Surfer normally sits is vague at best

a weakened hulk still looked pretty strong in that arc to me, I think that SS could no sell most anything AM could throw.

Yay, back to Aquaman! clap

Then he should no sell Namor too.

Surfer should be a little above Thing on average in physical strength.
He had to amp just to beat Thing.

maybe so but I don't see AM putting out the damage to take out SS either.
