I love when he does that...
Not to be rude twister but I swear I've seen these threads a million times, its always spiderman in the title. But alas.
Namor is hideously underrated because he is less popular, spiderman and wolverine cannot logically defeat namor... storm has SOME chances, but if he's without CIS she'll lose too IMO...
Namor IS overconfident however, and people take that flaw seriously... (i.e running in to battle without thinking, despite his experience), and he CAN logically be killed by these guys too... I'm not sure WHAT I'd give it, but wolverine and spiderman aren't too useful unless they incorporate good teamwork with storm.
Also Namor is immune to lightning last time I checked.
I see that if the match starts in storm in the air, then the winds could hold him back(and everthing that gets knocked around with it) then Spiderman webs him up alot(web can hold namor for enough time) and Wolverine slits his throat(unless you tell me his claws can not go through namor's skin. Or Namor does what DC says. 5/5
Namor tends to be seriously under-estimated on the forum (a very high tier character relegated to fighting people, on forum, that are far below his paygrade). This is equivalent to a jet fighter being put into a car race against souped-up Honda Civics.
Other characters, for example Storm, are high tier characters who get overestimated by SOME on the forum (no need to post pictures of her commanding 'cosmic phenomena'). In her case it is the equivalent of turning a Lamborghini Murcielago into the Space Shuttle.
Anyways: The only character who would be of consequence against Namor would be Storm. The others (webs and claws included) wouldn't even be a distraction to a non-jobbing Namor.
Now, Storm would quickly find out that her lightning did not have the effect that it would normally have on other characters, and the only way she could win this would be to basically max-out to such a level that she even erases her team members, and THEN hope that Namor doesn't take her out before she starts doing her whole hurricane thing.
Anyways, IMO Namor takes this via quickdraw. If he takes out Storm, which is quite possible unless we are talking about Pre-Crisis Superman ....I mean, 'uber Storm and her cosmic bag of wonders,' then the rest of the team goes out quick.
However it is interesting how some extremely potent characters (like Namor, and he is basically a Black Adam-lite in more ways than just appearance) get under estimated; while other very powerful characters (e.g. Storm) basically get overhyped to levels that are simply beyond them. I realize there is power crawl (e.g. Iceman was once only able to turn himself into a cute form of Frosty the SnowMan and hurl snowballs, but nowadays he is an Omega mutant), but when it comes to Storm it is just laughable. Although Marvel has some blame for this ....a lot of fanboy fodder with all that 'cosmic mumbojumbo.'
Anyways, Namor for the win.
Next topics:
- Can Storm manipulate the cosmic energies of a blackhole?
- Can she affect the electrovalent bonds of Adamantium (hey, there is 'electo' in the word) and thus turn the nigh-unbreakable metal into goop?
- Can she turn the Hulk back to Banner by shutting down the electrical synapse firing that stems from Hulk's anger, and thus turning him to human?
- And going back to cosmic energies, shouldn't Galactus be very afraid of her. She could whip up his power cosmic and pwn him?
Storm: Next in line for the greatest powerboost in comicdom (although I hear the Scarlet Witch, HOM version, is about to come and put the smackdown on her .....although by now Storm's powers must trascend 'simple' reality manipulation. After all, she can control 'weather' ....and I use the term losely, thus include psionic control of true weather, cosmic events, synapse activity, and anything else that fits the panel at the time).
I'd say Ororo's been taking lessons from Pre-Crisis Superman on power state/type manipulation. Sneezing galaxies asunder are only a few months away at this rate.
