It's a bit difficult to accurately quantify the feat. For one; it's a curse that was placed upon Atlas unless I'm mistaken? I'm pretty sure that it had to be heavy, but what was the exact weight? Mortal Hercules at his best was treated like a lightweight by the merged version of the Hulk (Professor Hulk). Hercules as a mortal appeared to have various strength levels as well. Based upon your own clarification, you specified that we use him at his most powerful. I don't believe that it would be enough to defeat Namor unless Namor were to be deprived of water for years. However, in my opinion, Namor was never fully deprived of water, and that includes the time that he was a homeless amnesiac, unless we assumed that he didn't drink a glass of water, ot bathe during that entire period of time.

Wasn't it determined to be because the feat was magical based? It's like I said before, you have a hard head.
Which I pointed out.
I guess the point of me quoting you is lost on you. I will step through it slowly.
1. You said it was difficult to accurately quantify.
2. Yet had no problem using it as a benchmark when you wanted it to serve your purposes.
Oh wait, there weren't actually that many steps. Yet you still lose your way.

Once determined that it was a feat based upon magic, did I continue arguing the point?

The problem with thar form of reasoning Carver, is that Superman is actually stronger than Atlas.
Based on? You can't even compare the showing with both characters since Atlas been holding it up FAR longer and again, there's no evidence and there sure as heck wasn't anything mentioned in that book indicated magic was weakening Superman.

Nothing about holding up the sky comes across as being magical to you? The fact that Atlas is cursed tells me that Dark Saint was correct when he originally called me on it.
If Superman was weakened, it would've said it in the book. Nothing pointed to him being weakened. We don't paint false pictures unless confirmed on panel.
And it's scientifically possible that a man can fly, shoot heat vision from his eyes, ice breath. It's possible a man can be dosed with enough radiation to kill a country but he turns into a super strong monster. It's possible that the weight of the sun can be on earth? Possible that a black hole can exist on a planet? Lmao, I like your idea of science. It's funny you consider even using real life science for a comic. You'll only do this for Superman though.
That is true. Amazo have all of the powers of the JLA, inuding Flash and Superman and both Batman and Nightwing was not only able to dodge almost every attack he did, they were making his head turn with punches. Is there science behind a human being as fast as Flash and Superman via hard training?

What type of training makes a human this type of strong and fast if we look at this scientifically.
2nd scan doesn't match the rest, it's Damian and Jon from the future, I think.
The rest of the scans are from the same story taking its place in the mainstream universe, yes, but you forgot it was just a prototype unit with limited abilities. Formidable, but no match for bona fide Amazo.
The point you're trying to make is fine, but the example to illustrate it is greatly flawed.
That's your main problem, carv. Just putting random scans in your posts without doing the reading.
