i highly doubt that there is anything to be highly doubted

isn't aquaman like as strong as wonder woman or a little less and is as good a fighter.

^^ i might be thinking of someone else

by the way Darkone u spelled "Aquaman" wrong

yep- i think they're trying to make him a smaller version on martian manhunter

same here i don't like most of the JLA

Aquaman has lifted large portion of San Fransisco...

and that implies that he has super strength right?? i always thought he did

At one point I believe Aquaman was able to lift up an entire city. But I don't know if that could be used in here. That may have been a one time thing.

EDIT* someone beat me to it and he's right. Not the entire city, but a large portion of it. I guess it wasn't a one-time thing.


Anyway, he does have a body density strong enough to survive the deepest parts of the ocean, so his body can take alot of punishment. And that he's ALWAYS had. It's not over in 5 seconds.

Class 100+ superstrenght, yes.

he can definitley take the thing

Originally posted by stormfront13

he is more than likely stronger, and a better fighter. he has that hand that heals him also. or it is supposed to cause it has healing abilities.

i'm confused. is all this aquaman cl100+ stuff a very RECENT development? it must be. in the x-over where he battled namor, he readily admitted to not even being close to namor in strength. but he was faster. and in none of the older books i have is he anywhere NEAR the thing's level in muscle. so if someone would be so kind as to tell me when and where this power-up took place, i'd be mucho obliged.

Aquaman is Class 60(60 Tons) or was but has since been upgraded(I don't know if his strength has had a definite increase, but he can go toe-to-toe with wonderwoman and not be in trouble).
He Has very durable and dense skin.
He has superhuman reflexes and is very fast.
He's also an expert at hand-to-hand fighting, he's battled wonderwoman
before, they're both from warrior nations.
He also has a few other very impressive attributes, one being his telepathic power which has definitely increased in ability(what he's capable of doing with it).

Glimmerone

Aquaman took out a white martian telepathically... they are close to Martian Manhunter levels.

Thats pretty damn powerful...he put him into a seizure.

There is absolutely no chance that Aquaman could even last more than a couple minutes against The THING.

He is way weaker, he is much lesser of a fighter, and like to admit it or not all of you Ben Grimm haters he's got more will power and more of the i will never quit like no other character in either world Marvel or DC. Ben would squish Aquaman in short work. IMO

Thing takes this easily, She-Hulk in JLA/ Avengers kicked Aquaman's Ass and that was when she was only Cl 70, so Thing would destroy him.

Aquaman is probably at least two to four time stronger then Thing is. He is fighter by heart as he is leader of undersea nation that has been fighting for its whole life...

You know absolutely nothing about Aquaman.

She Hulk old strenght level was Class 80.
Aquaman is actually a high rank Class 100 strenght possessor.
He lifted a huge portion of San Francisco, he's older than Thing so har far more battle experience, he's a proficient hand to hand combatant, his reflexes and speed on the ground exceed that of the Thing, he's hella durable, and he's a master tactician.

Is this Darkcrawlers 1/2 hour comedy hour?

2 to 4 times stronger than The THING? Now Aquaman is somewhere between class 200 to Class 400.

Yea! That makes sense.

Not!

Class 60 Max. Probably Class 50.

He's a wet pussy. Compared to The THING.

Aquaman said it himself when he fought Namor. He said that he was nowhere as strong as Namor.

Namor is weaker than Ben.

IE. Aquaman is weaker than Ben.

Case closed.

You know absolutely nothing about Aquaman.

That was before he was upgraded to being able to lift up a portion of San Fran.

And Marvel vs DC doesn't count anyway. Each fight the two opponents were made to be equal to each other and the fans voted in the wins.

Or else Flash would have ran circles around Quicksilver instead of QS just losing b/c he hesitated.

Aquaman can win this.

I'm guessing telepathy is not allowed due to the fact that Aquaman would win sooo easily if it were. But I'm wondering if Aquaman is still allowed to contact marine animals? I realize it's part of telepathy, but what's the ruling on it?

I'd say no. The original poster said no mental powers or weapons. I assume that woud include mentally contacting animals for help.

The reason I assume that is because...

He wanted Hand-to-hand combat only. Who would win

Aquaman. Far better fighter. Much more experienced. Oh and MUCH stronger.

Show me (just 1) marvel statement non thread that says Namor is stronger than The THING.

Per Marvel's site it gives these rating which go from 0-7

Namor STR 6 DUR 6 Fighting skills 3

THING STR 6 DUR 6 Fighting skills 5

THOR STR 7 DUR 6 Fighting skills 4

So at least from their site as of 5/8/05 thats their stats.

But i'm sure you know better than they.

If you read what you yourself writes, youre the one who said Thing was stronger than Namor.

I guess you know just as much as i do ehh?

I guess Thing having a 5 in fighting skill and Namor having 4 makes Thing stronger huh? But everytime they fight, Namor whoops things a$$. Go figure.

I know Think never knocked out Savage Hulk. Ahh well.

So this wasn't your statement?

I posted THING was stronger than Namor pre checking out the site.

So as of the site we're both wrong.



i haven't seen Namor beat The THING in 20yrs. When Ben was CL20 or so. And most of the time they fought back then it was a stalemate.

So that being said i think that Namor would be in trouble in current times. IMO

Namor vs. Thing aside..

Aquaman beats his craggy ass.

Then Ben smiles and says it's OK little guy, it's time to take a dirt nap in the corner. As he breaks Aquaman in 2, and turn off his lights.

Stalemate? Sub-Mariner #8, Namor wins, Marvel-Age FF #4, Namor owns Thing, Marvel Age Ff#9, Thing gets owned again. Re-makes of old yes, but stalemate? No sir.


Namor #50 was only 9 years ago. There, an a$$ whoopin took place. Thing sure wasnt cl 20 either.

I still have to get Namor #48.

Looks like Namor 4 Thing 1 in my book.

Your contributions amount to little more than:

"Thing wins. Easy. No contest"

or

"Sooooo easy. Iron Man wins."

No evidence. No facts. Just speculation.

Aquaman with recent upgrades may be able to pull it off. But is his strength even consistant anymore? If not, Thing creams him and makes fish soup.

Aquaman has ALWAYS been Class 60. However due to his company(i.e. Superman, Wonder Woman) , his strength has never been truly documented well.

However with the power of his water hand boosting his abilities, Aquaman is Class 100+. His lifting an entire portion of San Fran. is testament to this fact.

With his new strength boost, has it been consistant since then? I heard he did that some time ago. Is he still doing things like that now? Or has he been downgraded again?

It has. With his new water hand, he has gone hand to hand against foes like Ultraman.

In that case, Thing looses. I dont think it would be a slaugther though.

Aquaman 7/10 imo.

Where's the stalemate? you ask. Two-in-One #28 in the water too i add.

1 stalemate out of 5 fights?

Doesnt look good for Thing.

I forgot that you were the encyclopedia of rambling knowledge, and your posts are always based on FACTS on how any battle went down, and NEVER your personal opinion on what may happen. You can't see it but I'm bowing to you.

Namor #48?

All Marvel age issues not recent (IE. CL20 Ben) Not current CL85-CL100+ THING dependant on who's info your believing.

It wasn't originally stated but I'm talking about current characters competing.

Sound familiar?

Yep. So does this: "Aquaman. Far better fighter. Much more experienced. Oh and MUCH stronger."

Your reasoning: Thing better. I like Thing. Thing wins ALL THE TIME!

Tony Stark is a fanboy, that's a fact.

Thing could not even dream of lifting large portion of San Fransisco. Aquaman is stronger then him.

Aquaman has been living longer then him and fought more impressive fighters.

Aquaman is more experienced then Thing.

Aquaman wins, it does not matter if your fanboy brain cant consume it.

Come on guys don't say that. It truly hurts me when 2 guys that know so much about all things comic say negative things about me.

Especially when you 2 are consistently some of the biggest fanboys on this site.

k3vil did your feelings get bruised when i said that THING immortal would haunt you forever.

And yes wacko69 when The THING or anybody else should win, i will say that they should.

You should try it sometime, actually using past fights or common opponents as your rule of thumb instead of using the thumb thats up the ass of your favorite character to decide.

THING wins always.

man this is why i hate comics sometimes;every damn year characters get upgraded or downgraded and its just so f***ing stupid. Aquaman sucks. DC needs to just accept that he sucks and stop giving him all this new crap.

i wasnt talking about Marvel vs Dc anyway Dawsey, i was talking about JLA/ Avengers in which the writers decided the winners, NOT the fans.

Yea thing cant hope to lift any part of SF...nor can anyone in Marvel, a landmass like that would crumble under it own weight...u couldnt even lift up my yard without it crumbling apart...that is the dumbest thing ive heard...its ok though since DC doesnt attempt to have any grasp on reality...i know ur going to say: well Thing getting powers from cosmic radiation isnt realistic either...well at least its based on the concept of mutation and thats something scientific...lifting SF, or any landmass is just ridiculous...I guess if Thing were in the DCU with those writers, he'd be doing it too IMO.

Lifting a huge portion of a city, which weight is of thousands tons, puts Aquaman far above the rocky guy.Aquaman is also faster and has high reaction time.Fact.
Oh, and Aquaman with his poor Class 60 of strenght in the first 3pages of the 2nd issue of AVENGERS/JLA was giving serious troubles to Iron Man mr.fanboy

You Marvel boys and your need for things to "make sense". The DC universe is a fantasy world, true. But newsflash, the Marvel Universe is a fantasy world too. Deal with it.

Thing is weaker than a dolphin!


Case Closed!






See, I can do it too Tony Stark. Doesn't mean I'm right.

But isn't it just too fun to look at?

I thought so.



THING still wins!

No. He doesn't.

I've heard the reasons Aquaman could/should win, but I've yet to hear any solid facts supporting Thing.
