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.
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.
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
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?
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.
