While we're at it, who's faster on land?

I'm not sure about land but if the crossover is cannon then it suggested Aquaman was faster at the time but Namor was more muscle bound so presumably stronger at the time.

Land wise Aquaman has always been stated as quicker on land then at sea. Travel wise he can leap across areas pretty instantaneous and reaction wise is pretty fast.

Aquaman is such a t*t. Who taunts their enemy in a fight by going on about how musclebound they are?

Aquaman apparently.

Flash and Spiderman are characters who usually dance around Villains insulting them or goofing off at them. Nightwing I believe does that not really calling the muscle bound but stuff similar I guess.

Not usable here on the forums.

However, here he is doing 20,000 feet per second:

Does Namor have a better feat?

-Pr-
And that was vertical too.

If you do the math on how much pressure is on him compared to see and land and how fast he's going it's incredible in terms of speed with the whole "Imagine how fast I am when the pressure is off" statement should make his charges incredible in speed.

It said 10,000 ft per second there...edit...oh nvm,just read it again

RadZoa
So at 20,000 feet per second, does this mean that on land Aquaman is faster than 20,000 fps? If so that would put him at 13,636 mph or mach 18 O_o

Marvel don't usually make notes of namor's speed during his swims,however his feats include swimming fast enough to make a tsunami big and strong enough to KO hulk and engulf islands,swam fast enough to make a whirlpool that beat hulk another time, swam fast enough to make a whirlpool to suck out a tsunami, blitzed iron man,more than once

Yeah - it helps not to think too much about it lol.

The best feat I recall for Aquaman speed was was outracing a concord over the ocean. That would be high mach speed.It was however pre COIE (pretty sure).

Speed wise on land (pure running here) I recall something in JLA (Detroit era) that showed his land running speed maxed out at around 150mph. It was a feat where he got there in just under half the time Steel did and his speed was 70mph.

Aquaman is a forever *****. How many makeovers can one man have?

His muscle movement is suggested to be faster with the pressure off but he's not a speedster in the terms of running. Just has some good reaction and charging speed.

Pre-Crisis he was actually suggested to be the fastest swimmer in the DCU, his tp was pretty awesome as well it's just that he also had that 1hr weakness Pre-Crisis that seems to have followed him around I wouldn't really say he's had much done to power wise compared to most of his fellow comrades.

yeah, don't reply to him please, it only encourages responses that decreases the collective intelligence of the forum--which needs no decrease.

Aquaman might be faster. But Namor kicks his ass anyway.
