Who the strongest between aquaman and spiderman?
-Pr-
Aquaman, by a fair distance.
Odekahn
Stronger? Aquaman.
Nietzschean
Modern Aquaman if u take into account the city street he lifted underground and magic punch.. I dont know what other feats he has though..
Spiderman is only suppose to be around 10 to 15 tons in strength even though he has lifted what appears to be 100 tons in comics from time to time.

Aquaman did this:

For example... yeh, i remember that issue. Aquaman didnt actually hurt Superboy it was the whole thing about being underwater.
that was also a weaken version of Superboy which side arm was able to put in a bear hug and Dragon Lady was able to fight superboy in melee..
: /
I could post Spiderman throwing down with Firelord which would be far above Superboy or any other hundred tonners he has faced in the past.

What about being underwater?
Aquaman has plenty of feats showing him in the dozens of tons range, though.

there was nothing impressive about the scan u posted it was more bias than anything b/c Aquaman might as well have bn punching a regular human or someone with low superhuman durability if u put it all in context.

Even if you wanted to argue that (though I don't agree), he still has feats I think Spider-Man would have trouble replicating.
Like using a crane as a bludgeoning tool, or knocking Martian Manhunter on his ass (twice), lifting a city block, throwing a bus at an Omac, supporting the weight of a building that was about to collapse, and the other stuff i mentioned of course.
Aquaman's strength is relatively more consistent than Spider-Man's, too.
Nietzschean
really, b/c Spiderman has beaten firelord, fought the Hulk, held up a collapsing building more than once, flipped over a mini tank.. held up a rail train and tons of other strength feats in his long time career.

I'm talking about consistency, though.
And we both know Firelord doesn't count.
We're not even talking about who would win in a fight; we're talking about pound for pound physical strength, and for me, Aquaman is stronger.

I disagree. Spidey might have more feats, but I'd be willing to bet that Aquaman has more actual quality ones of higher tonnage.

He's done all of that?
And again, this isn't everything Aquaman has done. That was just examples.
and then there's the fact that a lot of his strength feats are actually performed underwater, where pressures are far different to above sea-level.
Nietzschean
I never understood the whole underwater argument. I mean sure it can increase weight to an extend but it can also lighten an object as well.. : /

It's harder to move your muscles underwater, because of the pressure being exerted on you from the ocean around you. Ever feel the resistance when you run your hand across a pool of water? Imagine that times a thousand, and then apply it to Aquaman having to lift large objects while fighting hundreds of tons of pressure trying to stop him.

I don't think that's ever really factored into comics. Especially with characters like Aquaman, who are more at home in water than out it.
That's said I think he is stronger.

I will admit u wont see spiderman swimming underwater lifting several tons but only b/c that is not his power set and it would be awkward for him to swim and lift but its not b/c he is weaker than aquaman.
but that again doesnt mean Aquaman is the strongest its his ability to adapt to those pressures and being in his natural enviroment.
Spiderman would be restricted by his need to breath and having air in his lungs his body not acclimated to swimming and lifting.
but put them both in a place where they can plant their feet and see who has the most lifting feats.. it sure isnt Aquaman imo.
I could make a similar argument with spiderman holding several tons upside down on a wall or ceiling and saying he is stronger b/c I dont see Aquaman doing it.
Spiderman is not only lifting the weight but fighting against earths gravity.

Aquaman regularly fights against more gravity than Spider-Man, though. And for me, in an equal setting, he's goint to be able to lift more.

That's talking about things on the surface though; it's not taking in to account something at the bottom of the ocean. Yes, an object might be lighter to an extent, but the actual pressures of the ocean itself would crush most beings without the requisite durability, and would make movement very difficult for anything lacking the needed strength.

@PR
the weight gravity is irrelevant that was my whole point. Aquaman is adapted to those pressures. any human would be as well if given time to acclimate. it doesnt mean he is stronger.
u know we pull fishes from the deepest oceans regularly and they arent super strong or durable b/c of the pressure they live in.
this is the misconception when it comes to aquaman that kinda irks me b/c there is no evidence for the argument being made.

...
It's not a misconception, because it's been outright stated that Aquaman is tougher because of the pressures of the ocean. He has several atmospheres of pressure on his body at the deepest parts, and to exert that much strength underwater requires that he be very, very strong.
And you can't compare those fish to Aquaman; it's not the same principle.

Originally posted by -Pr-

It's lighter, Astronauts train under water because they're lighter too to simulate lower gravity in space/on the moon. Things under water are not heavier than on land.

I'm not talking about the object's weight. I'm talking about Aquaman's ability to move and lift things at the bottom of the ocean where the pressure is so extreme it would turn submarines in to smears.
Mindset
AM lifting something under water is like Superman lifting something in the sun.
Yes, it would be heavier than on the surface of the Earth, but the increase of power they receive negates the impressiveness.

drag resistance has nothing to due with strength in my opinion in this matter.
I will concede with u that Aquaman can lift more underwater only b/c of his ability to swim and being acclimated to the environment.
but, I dont agree that Aquaman is stronger on even footing surface world if we go by feats.

i'm not talking about drag resistance; i'm talking about atmospheric pressure. Aquaman, unlike a lot of that sea-life, has his own internal pressure, and said pressure has to negate the crushing depths of the ocean. that makes him super strong and super durable, and means that when he's on land, where the gravity isn't so intense, he's able to lift a whole lot more.

Aquaman more so since he breaths water which means he wont blow up and it becomes easier for him once his body matches the pressure of his surroundings.
we are going around in circles on this. I am finished with the underwater argument.
if u want to argue surface feet planted on the ground strength feat I be happy to continue discussing them two.

but that's the thing; he's stronger and more durable BECAUSE he's adapted to the pressure. his body is strong enough to resist it and to move through it.
Sure, if you want.
Odekahn
The pressure at the bottom of the ocean =/= the pressure at the bottom of a pool. Plus it also depends on what you're lifting. If you're lifting a person, of course it will be easier to pick them up because they have body fat and fat floats. But a 40 lb dumbbell will be just as hard or harder depending on how deep you are.
How do you people think ship anchors work??

How do you people think ship anchors work?? an anchor is dragged until it catches undo something.
but the object in question depends on how pores it is and even if it is a slap of metal or rock it still has its weight displaced by water.. hence it will be lighter to an extend.

I was more so thinking of a deadweight anchor
Deadweight anchor
This is an anchor which relies solely on being a heavy weight. It is usually just a large block of concrete or stone at the end of the chain. Its holding power is defined by its weight underwater (i.e. taking its buoyancy into account) regardless of the type of seabed, although suction can increase this if it becomes buried.
But...
I did find this: Buoyancy reduces the apparent weight of objects that have sunk completely to the sea floor. It is generally easier to lift an object up through the water than it is to pull it out of the water.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buoyancy#Density
So it would be easier to lift it than on land.

More =/= better, though.
And no, he hasn't been at that level for years now. He just was portrayed really inconsistently for a time. Post mid-90s though, he's been a multi-tonner by a fair bit.

Because god-forbid Aquaman was actually useful for something other than talking to fish.
In all honesty though, his feats just aren't that well known.

Like Parmaniac and Nietzschean been telling he either can or has replicated most of those feats. Throwing/catching buses or trucks, knocking class 100 on their asses, supporting collapsing building, while under water causing a huge warehouse to collapse and using a tank (not mini-tank but A tank) as a bludgeoning tool. As for punching Superboy that far Pete did simillar thing to Scorpion. And while Scorpion is no Superboy this is about weight, not strength.
What im saying is, if the feats you mentioned are Arthur's best then they're pretty close. Only thing that seems to be out of Pete's weightclass is lifting a city block. But I dont know context behind this feat. If Pete pulled it off it wouldnt be the first time he performed a (seemingly) class 100 feat.

Although Spiderman is my 2nd favourite character, after Hulk, i think that he may be second to Aquaman in strength. That being said, Pete is nothing to be sniffed at.

I truly think Spider-Man is the safer bet on land, at least if telepathy is out of the equation and it was a comic.

Aquaman's stronger.
As far as DCnU goes, even that Aquaman displayed a strength feat well beyond Spider-Man's ability.
