Namor would give him a good fight but would lose, and easily if Thor uses weakness explanation. The rest see irrelevant, they might as well not come to the fight.
Thors not one shotting Namor. And I'm not sure what is meant by "weakness exploitation". I think Aarkus is the wild card here because I'm not sure of the full extent of his powers or what they all are honestly.
I assume that you are not aware of Namor and Thors past encounters. All pretty good fights. Aarkus seems like he is almost definitely the teams most powerful member, but I'm not sure what he'd do specifically. Hammond may have some effect.
The first and only scenario that came to mind, was Thor walking in and hitting the team with a concentrated elemental assault that KO's the entire team barring Namor, and then goes to work dominating the monarch of the oceans FTW. Namor is strong, but he just doesn't have the chops to hang with a guy that could polish off a much more powerful team in the form of the Infinity Watch, with the Silver Surfer, and Beta Ray Bill helping them out. In other words, and without a doubt, Thor completely dominates this.
He said he was trying his best not to hit them with the full extent of his power but that the urge to kill them was overwhelming. What i took from that is that the mind control was so that it would incline him to fight all out, but he was trying not to. Namor faired pretty well against him, too. Also, Aarkus was not in that fight.
So you believe that Ikaris could defeat Thor, which shows why your first response to this thread was what it was. I can admit that I left out some key points to my first response, but the reason why I used that particular Thor showing, was because he wasn't exactly in his right mind either. Ikaris has had it out with Thor in the past, and I do realize that he is sporting a new Prime Eternal moniker these days. But, has it been proven that this new sparkly title has propelled him to heights that he could not reach in the past?
Is he now too much for Black Bolt to handle? Where is the proof that he has become so much more powerful than the guy that was swatted aside by the Savage Hulk? What proof is there that he would do better against Thor than he did in the past? I'm not saying that he can't, but I'm just saying that I need more than a title to prove that he has earned the right to hang with the real big guns. Thor is, and has proven time and again that he is one of the big guns.
Keep in mind that I am not knocking Ikaris, but he has to be placed under the scrutiny microscope in order to compete with a character like Thor. I believe that Thor would blow this team away, and do it with minimum to medium effort.
So can Ikaris. The Eternals have so many powers writers just tend to ignore them. One of the guys fighting him said they rather try their luck vs Thor as opposed to Ikaris (not just because of his power levels but all of his varied abilities).
Aarkus is a psion. He can mentally harass Thor while Namor w/Capt's shield goes to town on him.
I know. I was actually pretty impressed by Namor in that fight. He even withstood Ikaris' beams (strong enough to deflect Blastaar's energy attacks).
Aarkus + Namor w/Cap's shield got this fight in the bag.
