Namor vs Thing

The Sea King vs The Fantastic Thing

Namor drowns him then goes out for Seafood.

Namor would win. I think he is stronger than thing plus has the other abilities.

Namor's faster and he can fly. So he can combine his stength speed and flight, to fly around Thing and hit him.

Compare the combatants,

Strength: The Thing can lift approx 100 tonnes. Namor can lift this amount and maybe a bit more when in the sea. On land his strength level is around 85 tonnes, and this level does diminish with time outside of water - as he drys (reaching about 40 tonnes within several hours).

Endurance: When wet Namor has the advantage but on land, the Thing would have the advantage, as Namor's endurance will dimish with time (as per strength).

Durability: Both are very tough, able to withstand blows from super strong opponents but again I think that the Thing has superior protection.

Agility and Reaction Time: Namor definately has the advantage, being siginificantly faster than the Thing.

Fighting Ability: Both are combat veterans of many hand to hand encounters and I would say they are evenly matched.

Others: Namor can fly.

If the battle takes place on land, due to the durability of the air and their endurance, I could see the fight extending over a few hours before a victor emerges.

It would be quite a close fight on land and if the Thing prevents Namor getting wet to recharge, the Thing might just win. If Namor can recharge, with his speed and flight, he could then win (so location and availability of water plays a big part).

If near or in the sea, Namor wins without question.

Excellent post Creator. I am inclined to agree with you.

Thanks.

I think the Creator just about summed it up. Well said.

I could agree with you creator except I think Namor may be slightly more skilled than Thing in combat simply for the fact that he is extremely long lived and the king of an extremely dangerous and long lived kingdom. Not only would he be trained by some of the world's greatest warriors but to rule he would have to surpass them. Also he lives in the most hostile environment on earth and is accomplished enough to beat back mythical monsters of the deep and hordes of barbarian usurpers. In combat strength and speed are important but to be at Namor's level I would say he would have to have premium combat capability to be the terror that Namor is (or should be).

NAMOR would take in an agile way

to THING to the water

this way NAMOR easily would keep the victory

At least we all agree Namor would win. I just think he needs a new look.

What do you think that look looks like...like :)

For argument's sake, I'll say Thing.

Haaa!

To be king does not always mean that you exceed your teachers.

Yes Namor has been around a long time but also don't forget that being a king means performing a lot of state duties, negotaiting treaties etc. He's not fighting barbarians all the time.

I don't think that he's training as a martial artist, more as a classic fighter - swords, hand weapons and general hand to hand. Also much of his training would have been directed to fighting underwater - not focussed on land where a fight behaves differently.

This is why I chose to say that they would be even as the fight would be most likely to occur on land - since the Thing cannot breath underwater but Namor can breath on land.

Like he wouldn't be wearing those green tidy whities, he'd be wearing long black pants made from a sea dragon's skin. His hair would be longer, his eyes would be either a real icy blue or a Storm white, and he'd have on a ring made of some animal's bone.

Not only is this a bad ass pic of the fight, but Namor looks better than he did in Gambit0's pic

One of my characters used to be based on Namor, he's a badass and would own the Thing.

Cool. But than again, almost everybody's owned the Thing.

"Cool. But than again, almost everybody's owned the Thing."

I know, he's never really come across as a tough guy, maybe back in the day but now he's just a punchline, after he went to France in Civil War there ain't no redemption from that in my book.

Lol. I've never really thought of him as anything other than a big rock or a reject from LOTR. They could've done a better job with him.

LMAO, I'm serious he's supposed to be a big guy from New York City right? Have you ever been to New York City, even the pigeons can kick your ass, no joke, I saw a cat jump up and and snatch one and the next thing I know the cat is dead and the pigeon looks at me and says, WTF are you staring at.

namor has always had the upperhand in their fights overall. namor has also one-shotted thing's strongest incarnation(pinapple thing, ON LAND. there's not much else to say.


namor on land, in water, in the air, everywhere

In light of AvX bump

@Morpheus_: Did Namor lose to Ben in UXM 12 -_- ? My shop was out today when I got in there.

Ladies first.

I'll take a big pass on that, thanks.

@Morpheus_: My mistake. I thought you meant UXM 12 since it came out today, not the other one. Anyways that is absolutely hysterical and whatever I said in another thread about your comment making my night, that spoiler was so much better. I thank you for it.

Can someone explain how Thing won?

From what I saw the order of events was:

Namor punched Thing through the Helicarrier. Thing punched Namor into the ocean. Namor threw Thing into a thermal vent. Namor smacked Thing with a giant fish. ???(What happens here?)???, Namor ends up on the ground, Thing pins him there with fish teeth.

Was my copy missing pages?

@Morpheus_: I remember Gillen saying the issue was gonna be a 180 from the previous. I have it on order and should get it by Friday at the earliest. I'll tell you what I think when I get it.

I kind of hate Gillen for making me not hate Namor.

@Morpheus_: I'm not gonna spoil it for myself if it's good. Thanks in advance for the heads up on it.

Namor.

No, really, it's awesome.

Blargh. It's a testament to Gillen's writing that Namor is actually semi-likable.
