big grin Can Namor defend planet earth 🌎?

Funnily enough, this is a great match up. Rom wins.

Stoic
Namor would beat the life out of Rom. I like Rom, but he's not in Namor's weight class. This isn't to say that he isn't a threat, it's just that when you compare their run-ins with the Hulk, Namor did far better. Rom would be a great match for Darkhawk, or others from the Fraternity of Raptors imo.

When you do that, then Namor almost has no equal and can easily trash Thor & Hercules at the same time.

Namor is, and has always been a threat to either though. I'd give him the edge over Herc these days with Hydroman's powers giving him the buff. Physically, he'd push either of them pretty hard. Thor is up in the air though, because of his new station, which should easily place him well above Namor, or Hercules.

StiltmanFTW
Being a threat is one thing. That's not what I said.

He hasn't mastered Hydroman's powers, it's a basic form of hydrokinesis at this point.

It's his other amps that made the difference in his recent tussle with the Avengers.

Stoic
I don't believe that Namor is above Hercules, or Thor (before the Odin power). It wouldn't be impossible for him to win, just that he'd have a helluva fight on his hands. Thor's lightning attacks would buff him, and Hydroman's powers would keep him from weakening over time. Because Namor isn't as long lived as either Asgardians, or Olympians, the longer the fight took the worst off it would be for him, as they don't tire at the same rate that he does. He could win, but they could as well. At least well written versions of them.

Team books tend to make the members of the team more vulnerable than in solo appearances. Just wanted to put that out there. Anyway, gotta crash, working a 12 tonight sad

Exactly.

That's why your ABC logic is flawed in this thread.

An injured Rom fights a fresh Gladiator, who can't put him down and has to be saved from Roms Neutralizer which is haxx.

Also, to put a more modern spin on things....Ikon embarrassed the Annihilators, and said in the same showing Rom was mightier than her.

Just a bit of supplementary info.

Beautiful scans, Whirly.

As a wee child I had a Rom the Space Knight toy and it came with a comic book and I loved both. So he wins.

On average, Namor.

I have a question about the battle between Rom and Gladiator. In a real unscripted forum battle, would Gladiator punch him once, and stand there startled after Rom, or any opponent got back up on their feet? One punch severely damaged Rom. What would 20 or 30 do?

#stopthetheatrics No, an already damaged Rom felt pain. The Neutralizer is haxx. Then continued to go toe to toe with Gladiator who can't put him down. Namor is no Gladiator. The Neutralizer would one shot Namor.

StiltmanFTW
"Severely damaged"?

Bullshit. He is one piece and fully operational.

You're missing out key pieces. Gladiator couldn't put him down, Gladiator had help. Rom didn't want to fight.

Rom REALLY is that good. Obscure to most casuals like yourself but a really good character

Rom said it with his own words. Gladiator is so much faster than Rom as well. Namor is faster than he is as well. If Gladiator damaged him with one punch, as I questioned, what stops him from hitting him multiple times? That showing was PIS.

Namor is really that good as well. Only stronger, faster, and more feats.

Rom is made out of nigh-indestructible Plandanium.

He casually no-sold Gladiator's heat vision and was surprised Gladiator's punch managed to inflict damage.

When damage is done, he registers pain. Doesn't mean it's some crippling injury.

It wasn't severe, as the armor wasn't cracked open and he was still fully operational.

That's some really flawed logic on your part.

Rom's own words said he was hurt. Not severely damaged.

An ant biting me would hurt. Doesn't mean I am crippled for life or anything.

Stilt is arguing against Namor? What bizarro world is this?

StiltmanFTW
I'm just not a fan of particularly bad attempts at using ABC logic and totally misreading what was said on panel.

Old Man Whirly!
The thing is beyond Rom being stronger and more durable, even after hulk blindsided and beats on him from top position enraged he is fine... The Neutralizer is haxx. The only time it failed was in neutralising the effects of Hulks gamma radiation and Rom was shocked it couldn't cure him. I am damn sure it would **** Namor up. Like Omega beams pis has to come into play to stop it. Once it is out, game over.

Armless Tiger Man has no equal on KMC.

A lot of those Rom scans have missing context behind them. For example, the Rom vs Colossus scan :
https://i.postimg.cc/8sqdv4j3/image.jpg
Colossus holds back because he doesn't want to hurt/kill. And Colossus was just fine after that punch, not KOed/hurt or anything.

Rom has even defeated Ego the living Planet.

In fact he even saves Avengers

It's cool that you're finally posting scans, but remember about the thumbnail option laughing out loud and rom was no working due to being phased through and also holding back Stilt. Remember he even says, if I fall who will save the X men.

Sure, not denying that.

What were his last (canonical to MU) appearances, after Marvel lost the rights?

Attending Rick's wedding in human form?

Then dying off-panel and getting replaced by She-Rom, yes?

Then dying off-panel and getting replaced by She-Rom, yes? I think so, another company brought a Rom comic out. I've been meaning to read it. Every now and again rumors of a Rom movie happen. I honestly think earthfall would be amazing. A seven foot got style Robot crashed into time square after crawly out of the crater, dust and smoke everywhere, people screaming, sirens wailing, his hand glows in a pink and scarlet nimbus, the neutraliser appears and he starts seemingly blasting away at people randy. The picture pulls back as a pretty blonde news reader on a TV screen starts to talk about, a killer alien robot, a massacre in times Square prelude yo an invasion etc. And we pan out further to see a pretty you girl (Brandy Clark) eating serial and watching the news report as more people are turned to Ash. Back at times square the survivors are shell shocked the Police arrive and start blasting away, Rom ignores them, the neutraliser vanishes in a flash, he balls his fists, his rocket pack flairs and he blasts into the air with a deafening roar, followed in a moment by the sound of a sonic boom and we are left with an image of devastation and terrified people, the sound of wailing, scared chattering, more sirens wailing and a woman crying. End of scene 1.

Interesting ego scan. What's more curious is that if Rom while weakened and holding back was able to stalemate Glads he most be even more powerful than Hulk/Hyperion combined.











See what I did there

See what I did there Rom seriously is top tier strength and durability. The Neutralizer is in the same way a well written Mjolnir is, completely overpowered.
