Superman, Aquaman, and Namor are having lunch at a waterfront seafood restaurant. Aquaman and Namor are comparing feats:
Aquaman: I once swam across the entire Atlantic at 1000 knots.
Superman: Yawwwn. I could do that, even faster.
Namor: I can absorb the power of electricity!
Superman: Electricity? Heh. It tickles, just a little bit.
Aquaman: I'm really durable. I can survive pressures like 15,000 PSI. I once swam to the bottom of Challenger Deep.
Namor: Me too!
Superman: Oh for god's sake. I fly around inside the sun and through the middle of nuclear explosions. That's what, like, 50 million times that pressure? And I'm laughing while I do it.
Aquaman: I can control the fish of the high seas.
Superman: I wouldn't be seen dead with a ridiculous power like that. But I'll be sure to call next time I need, er, something to do with fish.
Aquaman: I once tore up and lifted an entire city street during a fierce battle.
Superman: Um, I've lifted like, the entire city.
Namor: I can see in the dark, because I am adapted to seeing in the inky depths.
Aquaman: Me too!
Superman: Ha ha. I can see in the dark. And whats going on on the moon right now. And through that wall over there. And those radio waves. And your DNA.
Namor: I have defeated the Incredible Hulk himself in battle!
Superman: Pfft. I beat him in like, a page? Then I blocked Thor's hammer blow with one hand, and knocked him the hell out too. Like this! <swings fist in air in similar motion to punch that knocked out Thor>
Aquaman: I once...
Superman: "I once blah blah BLAH yadda yadda yadda." You know, for denizens of the deep you two really are full of hot air. Waiter? Bill please.
Aquaman: That does it Superman...
Namor: This was a nice lunch but we've had enough of you, braggart.
Namor and Aquaman challenge Superman to a series of duels to regain their dignity:
1) Swim race across the entire Pacific ocean. Superman cannot use his flight powers as an assist, this is purely swimming.
2) Survive at the bottom of Challenger Deep the longest.
3) All out brawl, Superman vs Namor and Aquaman. Superman cannot use his flight, heat vision etc, he just gets his durability, strength, and speed. Fight takes place in a deserted area in very light but steady rain.
4) All out brawl, Superman vs Namor and Aquaman, in the middle of the Pacific ocean. All powers on.
How many duels can Superman win? Can the duo win any? (if either member of the duo win, the team wins)
I think he clears it. To be absoultly serious how well can supes swim? He can be strong and hell but with no skills or technique I could see the 2 fishmen beat him.
as for the swimming bit can he just run on the surface of the water? running on the water can be deemed a form of swimming. And if he were to swim like normal peeople would, the ammount of force he can place per stroke with his super speed he can swim accross an ocean witha couple of strokes not to mention the waves and turbulence it would cause for anyone behind him. thus slowing them down tremendously
1. Superman. He's just too strong and fast, despite A and N's special skills.
2. Superman...I think. This would be his toughest challenge. Basically, he just has to wait them out. He enters a T-vo meditative state to live off his solar energy store for years, longer than N or A could go without eating (the weak link could be any need Superman may have for breathing...not sure what the current status is on that).
3. Superman. Brawling is what he does. Ask Darkseid.
4. Superman, in many ways.

Aquaman also has access to magic. And at one time, he was a monstrous entity called "The Dweller in the depths."
Supes wins even with the stips. 1&2 are the tougher ones. He wins 1 even with no technique, which I don't think is true. I'm sure he's done at least some basic swimming. His sheer muscle power and body control would give him the win. He can breathe in space, so I don't believe 2 is a problem. Meditation might give him the edge. Namor needs to breath air, right? I might be wrong about that. Aquaman might actually take Superman in this one, simply because he's more durable than Namor, and he's at home in the water.
3&4 are a wash. As mindship said, brawling is one of, if not his best tactic. Superman is the god of brawling.
4 shouldn't even be a question. Mungi: I'm not saying his TP is weak, just that Superman has shown he can just shrug off almost anything when he needs to/wants to. When the sky is falling and aliens are invading, when the big bad of big bads is calling him out, when someone has to save the world............
When the chips are down and no one is left, one man stands up. One man goes to save the day. And that man will say: "This looks like a job for, Superman.

I just felt like writing an ode to Superman.
