"Even though they are not under water, Namor still has a movement edge over Hercules. Im referring to speed and mobility"
Ah yes of flying. However the speed Namor posses isent greater than Hercules. He has managed to hit him with boulders and such while Mariner was flying, to bring him down.
Its underwater that namor has the advantage in mobility due to the fact its his element. Hercules agreed with it so when they fought the last time ( in the issue before the namor/abom fight btw ).
"Dude have you read Herc mini serries ?"
Yeah and ive been enjoying it. Tieri humor its much of what you saw in the myths. Pretty raw. So its the action. Then again its my opinion of it.
"I heard that current Abomination is a joke."
More like he hasent owned top Tier heroes since Hulk for quite some time. I have seen in Alvaros boards pll crying foul because Herc trew a semi shucker shot to beat him. When if theyr memory was correct, Thor beat Abom before with a sucker shot as well.
But he is being portraited slighty below the main guys yeah. You just need to see how his last fight against Hulk went. Doesnt surprise me tho that Herc beat him easiliy like he did.
"I heard he lifted a Heli carrier? Arent those things Huge?????????"
You know about Shields hellycarrier? Theyr flying base? It was that one. I still have to get my copy tho. Spoilers i read said he towed it and/or pulled it down using a chain and with one arm only. Spoilers also said he was hit with all theyr weaponry and he laughed of it.
After i get the issue ill confirm all this. If its true its a good feat yeah. Not huge because he has better tho.
"And when did Thor fight abomination?"
Honestly i dont know. I read it in a thread of another forum about Herc ko Abom with one shot, and some posters ( and reliable ones ) said Thor did the same before wth one sucker shot also.
So basically i didnt even knew he faced Abomination before i read that threat. If someone knows....speak or forever be quiet
The coolest thing is that Marvel is making Hercs myth cannon in theyr comics. The last two issues are appearantly about meeting again his wife and kids he murdered while in mad rage, centuries ago.
Another spoiler says it was given the explanation why Herc plays the part of a "boffun" in recent years.
Cant wait to get the issue.

underwater herc, thor , hulk wont win against nzmor. its his place to win so to speak, despite hulk thor having shown far greater feats of power they wont win underwater. interstingly hulk has swam lifting a huge island hilst underwater. but hey i digress. a stalemate, herc i lean to as being slightly stronger, more pwoerful, but its a toughie
Thats what wer all talking about. The thread made it clear its raining so Namor is always hydrated. That gives the stalemate. If it doesnt rain he will eventually lose.
"also yes namor, thor beat abom too easily. hulk does usually have to be written upping his strength considerably to win"
Abom has lost against Thor, Namor and Herc. And Hulk everytime they met since the first fight.
"Actually as stated while on land Herc and Namor are equals. Thats without rain, snow, etc."
While hes hydrated, if he stays in land alot of time it will happen what happened against Mindless Hulk. His strenght will start to fade. On land as long hes hydrated hes equal yes.
Therefore if its raining, keeping Namor at full strength all the time, i think he wins."
Its a stalemate. Underwater he wins because besides having equal strenght to his opponent, he has the superior mobility and home base element (water control ) to win. Thats how he won against Hulk.
