Aquaman being the winner isn't the worst thing. He's one of DC's big 5. Namor is given God like status one minute and loses to the F4 the next because he can't believe he has to convince Sue to sleep with him.
Namor's strength has been pretty consistent from 1939 to present. Aquaman has only had consistent strength the last 15 years or so. I do think Namor is stronger but I also think that Aquaman has better hacks. All in all a fairly even fight
RIP Kevin Conroy. Thank you ever so much for being the definitive voice behind the Dark Knight in various media, for blessing the Saturday mornings of many children, and for being a paragon of a man who demonstrates that the best of humanity
This is my take, as succinctly as possible, Aquaman had to be retconned over the years to get him to the level of power where he's at today. Namor came on the scene FROM DAY 1 with the ability to punch the Hulk Square in the mouth and defeat him underwater. Nuff said.
@void And Aquaman lost the battle with the help of mera. Meanwhile Namor stomped hulk Who destroyed a universe in the previous issue. And by stomped I mean Namor actually knocked out hulk unconscious. He even made hercules bleed. Defeated the team of Avengers Killed celestials and flooded Wakanda. Aquaman stands no chance.
@@cringekiller348 hold up,namor beat base hulk underwater,and injured Hercules,Aqua man defeated Hercules and Poseidon,he beat an avengers team underwater,mera defeated the justice league and Aqua man is relative if not superior to her,Namor flooded wakanda while he was possessed by the Phoenix force,Aqua man can flood the entire world if he wanted to,I don't know where namor defeated celestials but he was probably amped at that point as well,Aqua man injured darkseid,Aqua man stomps
I enjoyed both the Aquaman movie and black panther Wakanda forever for different reasons because one is a fun spectacle popcorn movie the other is a more emotional story dealing with death, grief and consequences plus respecting and honoring real world cultures and people that haven't been portrayed the best way in movies or tv shows
I just don’t get it. Mexcian culture should be represented correctly on Mexcian television. It’s not duty of America 🇺🇸 right? Although I liked the movie. These kind of comments I don’t get it.
On a totally unrelated note, we lost an icon in voice acting. Kevin Conroy has died. He died of cancer at 66 years old. There will never be another Batman. Kevin Conroy _is_ Batman. To quote the late, great Kevin Conroy: "I am vengeance. I am the night. "I AM BATMAN!"
Aquaman only seems to edge Namor, but in reality it would be a stalemate as their powers are pretty much the same. The issue is that DC has exploit Aquaman's power more in the comics, than Marvel have done with Namor. However, between the two characters, I believe Namor is more vengeful than Aquaman, which is why Namor have always been presented as an antihero from the beginning. Aquaman have gone through changes more so than Namor has. Anyway, Lord Arris, great vid as always! Hey, now you can be called Arris McQ of the clan McQ! 😆
Superman was severely holding back and Aquaman had help from Mera superman still won . Namor wins in my opinion ,he was able to stop attack from Thor and Ironman then no sell full power punch from captain marvel without moving an inch , then no sell a gamma nuke attack from savage she hulk (same she hulk that trades blow with immortal Hulk,funny enough in a canon crossover Aquaman was overpowered by a much weaker she hulk) he also defeated Amadeus cho hulk(someone who beat unworthy Thor) +and could crack the moon)he also defeated beta ray bill(someone who has destroyed planets on panel and is comparable to thor),he has also defeated hulk multiple times . He outclass Aquaman is strength, durability (aboslute bullet proof unlike Aquaman who is only bullet resistant)for sure. ,one way Aquaman can win is via mental assaults, namor is very resistant though, it can go either way But in terms of pure brawl, namor will win. Aquaman is no slouch, he's fought lobo for a while, trade blows with a severely holding back superman, defeated Martian Manhunter underwater with help from Mera and a volcano, stalemated Wonder Woman, defeated DC Hercules (weaker than Marvel one though) But the clear difference is namor has straight up beaten and overpowered most of the high tiers in marvel at some point like the entire Avengers (underwater) Thor(underwater) ,hulk(underwater) cho hulk(on land), beta ray bill(on land) etc
@@oluwadamilola6233 I don't disagree with you on this, as both characters have evolved since their first appearance in comics. I'm going with what was their initial powers, as both had pretty much the same power set, the difference was that Namor has always been a character with rage, and he is relentless if he goes after you. Aquaman despite having similar origin, he spent time on the land, then went to Atlantis and yes he had to go thru similar bullying but he was nurtured, while Namor had to prove himself on his own. However, I still see Namor beating Aquaman due to the rage that drives Namor, again this will be with their original power set. Things have changed since I read comics, so both DC and Marvel have change the characters a lot as time passed.
6:23 "That explains why he's the only Atlantean with (ankle wings)." Namora, his cousin, has them as well, and shares many of his abilities. Also, there was a crossover comic in which Aquaman defeated Namor by having a killer whale land on him. Although I have misgivings about that outcome, it's there.
Hmmmm.... Let me see... A person whose body allows him to live at depths up to and including the Marianas trench is bested by the weight of ONE killer whale... Spread out over the surface area of said killer whale. Physics anyone. Not only stupid, weak writing but also pretty fishy... Especially since he can trade blows with hulk and thor which im sure rate way over the weight of a killer whale per square inch. Comics are pretty much garbage these days. They have given up all pretense of sanity. Im guessing Miracle Max writes for both houses these day. "As long as they are not all the way dead, anything is possible.
That's now how it happened. It was based on a time limit Namor got up seconds later But the battle was over as Aquaman scored the point. Namor was still stronger.
aquaman's telepathy is also stronger thanks to his connection with the clear which enhance the strength and speed of aquatic creature so much so it can break Green lantern construct.
Plus his connection with the clear he can use it on any planet with sea life forms. He’s one of the few characters who can be a threat to anyone on any planet since Water is one of the main 4 elements regardless of dimension or universe
Namor doesn't need his fish to fight for him because he'd rather Duke it out with you like a man and has fought and defeated some of Marvel's heavy hitters like when he too fought Hercules and hit him so hard he sent Herc flying out of the water.
Unlike aquaman namor have complete hydrokinesis and aquaman defeating Hercules isn't much of a feat cause marvel Hercules way more powerful than dc Hercules and beating hulk is a great feat too and his flying ability will give him an edge this is a close fight that could go either way.
The only problems I have with death battle is that they sometines leave things out of the actual fight and they said that they do their fights for entertainment. If anything db should be where the debate begins not ends
I've been a huge fan of both Marvel and DC since I was a young pup. I love to see how much both companies have grown in popularity. Even both companies are fans of each other. That says a lot!
Alas, the king of comic-book voice acting has passed on. 👑 R.I.P Kevin Conroy. ( 1955~2022 ) 🌹 Losing this icon is mourning the loss of such an influential figure within an 83 year history, but his timeless legacy & performances will be forever cherished and live on for generations of comic-book fans to come. He was vengeance, he was the night, he was DC Comics greatest superhero!. The man, the myth, the legend........ The Batman. 🦇 🖤🖤🖤
@@Destrudo5359 bro where in my comment did I state “Superman was going all out when he punched aquaman” lol bro don’t take that feat away from him, Superman holds back 99% of all his comics and fights that don’t mean take the feat away from aquaman, there base forms superman is superior to Thor and captain marvel simple as that my brother
I like both characters wholeheartedly, however, in my humble opinion, Namor would edge out Aquaman...his ability to fly gives him that edge! Toss Aquaman up in the atmosphere, zip around him with punches and or trident blows. It's over before he hits ground or splashes back into the sea.
@Will N shit, I will have to agree with all of that lol but if Arthur Curry has to concentrate on those water molecules to fly, I'm going with Mister insane can't wait burn it down Namor
Namor can fly. He has the high ground. Any star wars can can tell you, the High ground is invincible! 😂 Nah seriously, it would be an awesome fight. You make some great points, but it still feels like it could either way to me.
I’ve been subscribed to this channel for some time now. I used this channel to keep me up to date with stories going on in comics. I had stopped collecting comics in 1992 and I think I found this channel in 2016/2017 I think. I don’t think I’ve ever been compelled to leave a comment. I just hit the thumbs up. I have never laughed this hard at anything on this channel until Arris said he was a Puerto Rican Lord. That tickled the crap outta me. I don’t know if it was his delivery or if I just wasn’t expecting it. T😂😂 Funny!
I was 3-4 when I started watching Batman & Robin ‘60s I was 9 when Batman ‘89 dropped & I got to see it at the movies. And I was 12 when Batman Animated was released it was one of my fav after school shows it reminded me of the ‘89 & ‘92 movies. And for Me Kevin Conroy has always been the voice of Batman the only other one I consider up there is Jason O’Mara. Kevin Conroy is Batman just as Mark Hamill is The Joker. Thank you Kevin for the childhood memories Rest In Peace old friend Rest In Peace Detective
Namor immense power has been more consistent for over 40 years as a powerhouse than Aquaman. They’re basically the same character in abilities except for Namor’s speed and flight and superior strength
It is a sad day to hear that Kevin Conroy pass away. He was the real Batman to me n I thank him for being Batman in the animated series n movies to. U will be missed. N I think namor would be Aquaman.
@Darth Vader Spoiler for original commenter: He said he would look after one another, like how in infinity war, he helped the avengers, he didn't just give them weapons of destruction. He meant that they will help to fight in desperate times. Namor hates the surface because you can see in the flashback, he saw men enslaving people of similar culture and destroyed his mothers past home.
Namor will absolutely destroy Aquaman with his bare hands! Aquaman would need the whole Justice League for the Hulk! Namor went toe to toe with the Hulk! Aquaman would need all his powers because hand to hand he will get crushed!
They're basically the same, but Namor is also mutant and can fly, so he has the edge, and the guy is also more than 500 yrs old. In terms of skill and experience, Namor has an edge over Aquaman. Aquaman is their king, while Namor is their god.
Definitely would give it to Namor on this one. As much as I like aquaman, Namor has a slight edge with strength, speed and his ability to fly. Aquaman does have better mastery of Atlantean magic.
Aquaman is one of my favorite DC characters, but every time someone makes one of these videos vs Namor they serious underestimate Namor's strength. As strong as Aquaman is, Namor is stronger and can also fly. He could just grab Aquaman ,fly him up high in the sky and drop him on hard land or even toss him into space. They are pretty close on other attributes like speed and durability, but I'd give Namor the slight edge there as well. The thing that would make Aquaman win is his telepathy. Even if for some reason he can't do anything against Namor directly, he can literally turn everything in the sea against Namor and would win that way.
It is an objective fact that Aquaman is stronger as far as I'm concerned. That doesn't mean we take Namor's strength for granted, we just acknowledge that as impressive as he is, Aquaman is just more so. Every feat or ability Namor has, Aquaman has in spades. That's all. In fact, I would state that you are the one underestimating Aquaman. For one Namor is NOT stronger than Aquaman. So get that out of your head first. On paper, based on their feats, Aquaman has shown greater strength. That is well known by now. (Marvel fans equate being able to sucker punch Hulk as proof youre stronger for almost every character, but in reality, Hulk is very pedestrian when it comes to strength over in the DC universe) so Namor would need to somehow overcome his strength long enough to fly him to space. But even then, Aquaman can survive in space for some time too. In his earlier runs, we have been shown surviving in deep deep space. with nothing but breathing apparatus, having lengthy fights etc. but even if he didnt have that apparatus, He can hold his breath for very long periods of time in space. Now that is just his physiology that is superior. We need to talk about his Trident. Poseidon is the God of the seas, earthquakes, and ocean storms. as such, Aquaman has control over those elements too. The Trident is a divine weapon, granting him the ability to fly as well as teleport to any water source in the universe thanks to the "clear". So he's be able to fly in space too. One thin people's mistake with Aquaman is his dehydration weakness and heat resistance. Aquaman has heat resistance because Atlanteans survive living in waters near lava. writers forget that fact and translate them to having a weakness to heat like Kaldur was in Young Justice, which is not very accurate. SO Aquaman, can potentially fly through space with his trident, survive in deep space fly to a moon or something with water, then teleport to any planet in the universe that has it's own water. Aquaman has more feats, more powers to utilize as well as more mastery of those skills. Namor would not be able to take Arthur, not by a long shot. This fight is actually very advantageous.
@@eingoluq Namor is as strong as the Hulk underwater. The writers have said as much multiple times. Also, in the DC/Marvel crossover battle, Aquaman won by having a whale fall on Namor, pinning him long enough for Aquaman to be considered the winner. In the fight, Aquaman himself stated that Namor was stronger.
@@eingoluq When they fought, Aquaman himself stated that Namor was stronger. Namor hit him once and sent him flying out of the sea and almost knocked him out with one punch, so I'll take Arthur's word on that. Does that make Namor more powerful overall? No, it doesn't. But on strength alone, Namor is stronger. Aquaman said so himself.
@@thullraven1 FALSE! you are either mis-remembering or lying hoping nobody would double check. I did: Aquaman was faster than him and Namor couldn't land a punch. Vexed, he asked Arthur to stay still. Then Aquaman stated: "face it, we are too evenly matched" this angers Namor and because Aquaman was getting cooky, he was able to land a punch that sent him out of the water. Aquaman immediately got back up. Namor then stated that Aquaman was no match for him, in the typical arrogant way that Namor usually is. Aquaman neither agreed nor disagreed. but stated, at least he Has charm, in a very jovial and non-engaging way. He clearly didn't internalize or agree with what Namor was saying, in fact, Aquaman was quite amused by the whole fight. While still analyzing what was going on. He saw they were near evenly matched, So he had to think out of the box to beat him. So never in the fight did his confidence in the fight falter. Even if what you are stating is true, the feats in the comics, when you do the math would disagree. Aquaman is just, faster, stronger, and more powerful with more abilities than Namor. sorry.
@@eingoluq Dude, I'm an Aquaman fan. I never said namor was more powerful overall. Aquaman is faster and more powerful overall, but NOT stronger. Even when Aquaman tries to wrap him in his cable claw and says it's unbreakable, Namor says unbreakable to you perhaps meaning that he would be strong enough to break Aquaman's cable. The writers of both DC and Mavel agree and have stated that Namor is stronger in physical strength. If you want to argue, contact DC and Marvel and tell them they are wrong. Later.
This is BS! Namor strength level and abilities hasn't changed much over the years.However Aquaman has, in Legend of the DC Universe #27, Batman whooped Aquaman easily. So after a few writer power ups he now can beat Namor? Do better research!
I'm sorry but Namor would own Aquaman. The sheer brutality of Namar and durability and strength alone would solo Aquaman. Side note: RIP to Kevin Conroy...absolute legend in voice acting 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
In the non-canon Avengers*JLA Namor was beating the 💩out of Aquaman, it wasn't even close. They did the thing where 1 is more powerful, but the other has a "thing" and Aquan got a sea Monster to flop onto Namor long enough to score the points. Namor seems faster, stronger and to have similar feats. Dealing with Hulk & Thor is the same as dealing with Superman. If anything they're 50/50 or 51/49 for Namor
I think Namor could win based on his mutant abilities giving him the edge. Other than that they are basically the same power set. I feel like Aquaman wins just because he’s more popular and therefore has more impressive feats. Either way Namor in the MCU was badass and needs his own movie ASAP.
How could AQUAMAN defeat NAMOR who has no ability to fly, Cant mimics the ability of an electric eel or any aquatic creatures, and has no hydrokinesis power. ARIS is so biased from the start. You always favor DC characters. Dont ever feature any Marvel Characters in your channel if you never weigh in all the factors available. You've always been UNFAIR to Marvel
Can you do history of Cyclone, Rhino, Sandman, Kraven the Hunter, Chameleon, Scorpion and the Human Fly along with Kurt Connors the Lizard. Also can you do the history of the Flash Villains like Turtle, Magenta, Cobalt Blue, Mirror Master and Top?
My personal choice is gonna be Namor...everytime! As far as who's stronger&tpugher.....FALSE! NAMOR has gone toe-to-toe with Hulk, Hercules, Thor, The Thing, Ironman, and I'm sure anyone of those would woop on Aquaman anyday....juss sayin'
Thanks, and finally. Saved me the trouble but I had to scroll down too far to find someone that pointed this out. This guy doesn know what he is talking about. You should lend him some of your older comics lol
@@Docfly62 lol...Old School Comics I'll call my show! LOL! Seriously...DC comics Hercules is not as strong as Marvels Version , and we know that Hercules SHOULD be more powerful than any other Olympian other than maybe Zues himself. So for Aquaman to beat the snot out of Poseidon who's almost as powerful as Zues, that means that DCs Poseidon is not more powerful as say Marvels version, then that means Marvels Herc.would smear Aquaman but yet Namor has gone toe-to-toe w/Herc at least for a little while. Just some old school comic logical thinking...juss sayin'.👍
I know this is a verse video between Aqua man and Namor the Submariner but I want to show my deepest gratitude for the late great legend Kevin Conroy.. The man who voiced Batman himself.. He will be missed but never forgotten ...
I got Namor winning that battle. Dc Hercules is basically a puppet gets is butt kicked with any superhero. Namor is more mean, Warrrior and more badass than Aquaman. In my humble opinion.
This was terribly one-sided in favor of Aquaman. Besides, there is already a VS. Battle between the two in DC VS. Marvel, where it is evident that Aquaman has been seriously retconned to be more powerful. Prior to that Namor was far stronger. Aquaman was a better leader and tactician and used his wits to defeat Namor.
Just seen the BP2 film the producers captured Namor's character well until the last fight and Namor's final scene. There is no way the Namor from the comics 'yields' in a fight in order to save his own life. NO WAY! That tarnished his character, and lastly when questioned on ending a battle that the Talokans were CLEARLY WINNING brought the viewers to view him as weak. Besides these flaws, it was a really great movie.
Yielding to save one’s own life is logical it’s not something to be ashamed of It would actually be foolish if he didn’t yield and just accepted to be killed. So there’s no reason for you to be complaining What would you do? Would you yield and live or reject to yield and get killed. I’d rather yield and live
Aquaman can also effect people (psychic) on a minor level, I don't know why that doesn't get mentioned enough...his psychic abilities on humans is so lethal he can give you a mild headache to an aneurysm
@@jaymike3302 source? It's odd to hear that since Namor was created first. I'm not saying it's impossible they waited to reveal Namor's backstory, but I don't remember them waiting that long.
Naw, I don't think so. On land, Aquaman loses because although powerful, he's not that powerful on land, whereas Namor can fly and is quite powerful and fast on land. Aquaman could beat Namor in the water, if the fight just stayed in the water, but on land, Namor would slay Aquaman. Aquaman=human and Atlantean. Namor = human/mutant and Altlantean. Namor has more advantages, so Namor wins.
Stop, even in the new 52, Aquaman's Super Strength isn't on the level of major hitters, it's more along the lines of Spider-man, while even classic versions of NAMOR could lift 75 tons according to the Marvel Handbook. So of Course NAMOR is stronger. The new 52 version of Aquaman and the hook handed versions were basically DC's take on NAMOR. Namor would win, no doubt.
@jmrjhulk well let's use a real life example, here. James Toney was a top tier boxer for years. He decided he could beat up anyone in the UFC one day, got in the octagon, and got choked out by a wrestler almost immediately. His years of boxing experience did nothing for his lack of mma experience. I wasn't saying battle experience isn't ever applicable, but it generally doesn't mean much.
@@Slappaccino because of his over confidence he lost. And you dont say "its doesnt Mean much" coz it means a lot. Dont be little everyone's experience. Since your comparing "comics" to the real world. Lets talk about manny Pacquiao.. he beat a lot of theyoung guns because of his "experience". But this is comics so it all depends with the writers and this is MY opinion..... so....
@jmrjhulk Pac beat a lot of other boxers... with the same general skill set. You missed my point entirely lol. Ok, another example: Namor could fight Asgardians for years and years. That wouldn't help him in a fight against a Kryptonian in any way, shape, or form because Asgardians and Kryptonians have entirely different powers and skills. Do you get what I'm saying yet? And I'm not belittling you. Dunno what that's about.
It's always fun to compare but I've also always thought it's unfair to compare DC vs Marvel. Most DC characters are incredibly over tuned when compared to Marvel characters/counter parts. Some dragon ball type of thing lol
I think you MASSIVELY undervalued Aquaman's speed. He is capable of swimming thousands of miles per hour. I think he is categorically faster than Namor.
Seems like DC characters will always beat Marvel's characters because DC is so OP 🤷🏽♂️. Great video but I knew how this was going to swing b4 I clicked on it lol.
They didn’t want him to be fully JACKED like Thor/Hulk/Captain America because they wanted him to be toned like a SWIMMER. And he’s still just as strong as he has been in the comics.
@@juliusseizure324 He's not tho , he literally gets tazed like a Bitch ...... In comics Namor has widthstood Ghost riders HELL fire ..... Didn't win the fight but HELLfire wasn't enough to take him down....... HOW are you telling me he's just as strong as in the comics . They literally made Namor into a f ing joke in the movie 🤦
Since we’re comparing any iteration of the character. Namor because he’s literally a Mayan God. And if he can spar with Thor which is the Norse Zeus (the greater of the three Greek Gods ((sorry Poseidon))). Then by default, trumps Aquaman.
What? Zeus is Odin's equivalent, not Thor's. In their respective mythologies, the Greek gods are more powerful than the Norse gods. I mean, Zeus is nearly all powerful while Odin's whole shtick is getting eaten by a wolf. The term "god" is completely meaningless in fiction, though. It's just a title. And... did you not see Aquaman beat two Greek gods in this video? If we use any version of the characters then Aquaman could clap Namor with his Water Hand. It sounds stupid lol, but it made him OP as shit. I'm talking "ripping through space-time barriers to reach an extra-dimensional sea" levels of op. He could also form magic weaponry and negate / dispel magical attacks with it among many other powers when he was the Waterbearer.
That’s not how to be a fan. You accept your characters weaknesses and still love them regardless. They won’t win every battle. Namor obviously loses to Aquaman plain and simple.
Aquaman's greatest advantage is him being a hero grants him access to plot armor. Namor doesnt have that since he's an Anti-hero and outright villain most of the time.
Facts. The really gloss over how strong Namor is. He’s consistently among the strongest earthlings in Marvel since the silver age. He’s solo’d the F4 more times than anyone can count and is at least on par with Savage Hulk. He would split Aquaman’s head open.

On a totally unrelated note, we lost an icon in voice acting. Kevin Conroy has died. He died of cancer at 66 years old. There will never be another Batman. Kevin Conroy _is_ Batman. To quote the late, great Kevin Conroy: "I am vengeance. I am the night. "I AM BATMAN!"
Aquaman only seems to edge Namor, but in reality it would be a stalemate as their powers are pretty much the same. The issue is that DC has exploit Aquaman's power more in the comics, than Marvel have done with Namor. However, between the two characters, I believe Namor is more vengeful than Aquaman, which is why Namor have always been presented as an antihero from the beginning. Aquaman have gone through changes more so than Namor has. Anyway, Lord Arris, great vid as always! Hey, now you can be called Arris McQ of the clan McQ! 😆
Namor is just as strong as Thor and hulk. Don’t think it would go to Aquaman.
Superman was severely holding back and Aquaman had help from Mera superman still won .
Namor wins in my opinion ,he was able to stop attack from Thor and Ironman then no sell full power punch from captain marvel without moving an inch , then no sell a gamma nuke attack from savage she hulk (same she hulk that trades blow with immortal Hulk,funny enough in a canon crossover Aquaman was overpowered by a much weaker she hulk) he also defeated Amadeus cho hulk(someone who beat unworthy Thor) +and could crack the moon)he also defeated beta ray bill(someone who has destroyed planets on panel and is comparable to thor),he has also defeated hulk multiple times .
He outclass Aquaman is strength, durability (aboslute bullet proof unlike Aquaman who is only bullet resistant)for sure. ,one way Aquaman can win is via mental assaults, namor is very resistant though, it can go either way But in terms of pure brawl, namor will win.
Aquaman is no slouch, he's fought lobo for a while, trade blows with a severely holding back superman, defeated Martian Manhunter underwater with help from Mera and a volcano, stalemated Wonder Woman, defeated DC Hercules (weaker than Marvel one though)
But the clear difference is namor has straight up beaten and overpowered most of the high tiers in marvel at some point like the entire Avengers (underwater) Thor(underwater) ,hulk(underwater) cho hulk(on land), beta ray bill(on land) etc
@@oluwadamilola6233 I don't disagree with you on this, as both characters have evolved since their first appearance in comics. I'm going with what was their initial powers, as both had pretty much the same power set, the difference was that Namor has always been a character with rage, and he is relentless if he goes after you. Aquaman despite having similar origin, he spent time on the land, then went to Atlantis and yes he had to go thru similar bullying but he was nurtured, while Namor had to prove himself on his own. However, I still see Namor beating Aquaman due to the rage that drives Namor, again this will be with their original power set. Things have changed since I read comics, so both DC and Marvel have change the characters a lot as time passed.
Y’all sleeping on Aquaman don’t know how many videos need to be made
Your 100 percent correct
6:23 "That explains why he's the only Atlantean with (ankle wings)." Namora, his cousin, has them as well, and shares many of his abilities. Also, there was a crossover comic in which Aquaman defeated Namor by having a killer whale land on him. Although I have misgivings about that outcome, it's there.
Yep. Marvel vs DC. I have that comic.
Hmmmm.... Let me see... A person whose body allows him to live at depths up to and including the Marianas trench is bested by the weight of ONE killer whale... Spread out over the surface area of said killer whale. Physics anyone. Not only stupid, weak writing but also pretty fishy... Especially since he can trade blows with hulk and thor which im sure rate way over the weight of a killer whale per square inch. Comics are pretty much garbage these days. They have given up all pretense of sanity. Im guessing Miracle Max writes for both houses these day. "As long as they are not all the way dead, anything is possible.
That's now how it happened.
It was based on a time limit
Namor got up seconds later
But the battle was over as Aquaman scored the point.
Namor was still stronger.
aquaman's telepathy is also stronger thanks to his connection with the clear which enhance the strength and speed of aquatic creature so much so it can break Green lantern construct.
Didn’t The Black Manta kill his baby?
@@matthewschwartz6607 yeah he did
Plus his connection with the clear he can use it on any planet with sea life forms. He’s one of the few characters who can be a threat to anyone on any planet since Water is one of the main 4 elements regardless of dimension or universe
@@jaysenbustamante9926 not to mention his telepathy can cause people strokes
Namor doesn't need his fish to fight for him because he'd rather Duke it out with you like a man and has fought and defeated some of Marvel's heavy hitters like when he too fought Hercules and hit him so hard he sent Herc flying out of the water.
RIP Kevin Conroy. You were a big part of my love for Batman! You will be missed
The only edge I’d give Namor is his level of brutality compared to Aquaman, he not would hold back where Aquaman might.
Yeah
Namor in the comics has more of a arrogance and confidence his kinda like Vegeta before Vegeta existed
@@mickeymouse7726 He does also have a huge widow’s peak. Must be a sign of arrogance and royalty.
also he can fly
Unlike aquaman namor have complete hydrokinesis and aquaman defeating Hercules isn't much of a feat cause marvel Hercules way more powerful than dc Hercules and beating hulk is a great feat too and his flying ability will give him an edge this is a close fight that could go either way.

I've been a huge fan of both Marvel and DC since I was a young pup. I love to see how much both companies have grown in popularity. Even both companies are fans of each other. That says a lot!
I hate to be the bearer of bad new, but Kevin Conroy has sadly passed away at the age of 66.
I feel like anyone coming to variant has probably heard, but it is sad news indeed.
Fun fact: Namor was created 2 years before Aquaman. So that means, Namor is not a rip-off.
I agree, Namor is not a rip-off.
But does that make him stronger than Aquaman tho 👀
Doesnt change the fact that aquaman is way more cool and popular than namor and his little wing leg thingy

I like both characters wholeheartedly, however, in my humble opinion, Namor would edge out Aquaman...his ability to fly gives him that edge! Toss Aquaman up in the atmosphere, zip around him with punches and or trident blows. It's over before he hits ground or splashes back into the sea.

I have never laughed this hard at anything on this channel until Arris said he was a Puerto Rican Lord. That tickled the crap outta me. I don’t know if it was his delivery or if I just wasn’t expecting it.

I was 3-4 when I started watching Batman & Robin ‘60s
I was 9 when Batman ‘89 dropped & I got to see it at the movies.
And I was 12 when Batman Animated was released it was one of my fav after school shows it reminded me of the ‘89 & ‘92 movies.
And for Me Kevin Conroy has always been the voice of Batman the only other one I consider up there is Jason O’Mara.
Kevin Conroy is Batman just as Mark Hamill is The Joker.
Thank you Kevin for the childhood memories
Rest In Peace old friend

Death Battle gave us the battle
Namor immense power has been more consistent for over 40 years as a powerhouse than Aquaman. They’re basically the same character in abilities except for Namor’s speed and flight and superior strength
Plus Namor doesn't lose strength when he is out of the water
Namor wins the cool factor hands down
Nah I don't think so
Wings on his feet
Rip Kevin Batman Conroy 🦇
It is a sad day to hear that Kevin Conroy pass away. He was the real Batman to me n I thank him for being Batman in the animated series n movies to. U will be missed. N I think namor would be Aquaman.
I'm so exited for black panther I can't wait to watch it with my family
@Darth Vader Nah its wonderful
@Darth Vader How does he look stupid? And how does the vibranium not make sense?
@Darth Vader Spoiler for original commenter:
He said he would look after one another, like how in infinity war, he helped the avengers, he didn't just give them weapons of destruction. He meant that they will help to fight in desperate times. Namor hates the surface because you can see in the flashback, he saw men enslaving people of similar culture and destroyed his mothers past home.
You’re gunna love it, it’s great! 👍🏿
Namor will absolutely destroy Aquaman with his bare hands! Aquaman would need the whole Justice League for the Hulk! Namor went toe to toe with the Hulk! Aquaman would need all his powers because hand to hand he will get crushed!
And why did he lose to a female black panther hahaha 😂. Aquaman solos both hulk and namor at the same time
RIP Kevin Conroy. You. Are. Batman!
Namor’s people do not call him general or king. They call him K’uk’ulkan!
If/When you guys do a tribute to Kevin Conroy, which I hope you do, I don't think I'm going to be able to not cry. I'm absolutely gutted.
You’re MAD with Aquaman winning. No Way!!!
Rip Kevin Conroy.
I bet the "Joker" is actually crying too.
They're basically the same, but Namor is also mutant and can fly, so he has the edge, and the guy is also more than 500 yrs old. In terms of skill and experience, Namor has an edge over Aquaman. Aquaman is their king, while Namor is their god.
Definitely would give it to Namor on this one. As much as I like aquaman, Namor has a slight edge with strength, speed and his ability to fly. Aquaman does have better mastery of Atlantean magic.

You know this is bullshit when you didn’t even name none of Namor’s greatest feats. Smh
Aquaman is one of my favorite DC characters, but every time someone makes one of these videos vs Namor they serious underestimate Namor's strength. As strong as Aquaman is, Namor is stronger and can also fly. He could just grab Aquaman ,fly him up high in the sky and drop him on hard land or even toss him into space. They are pretty close on other attributes like speed and durability, but I'd give Namor the slight edge there as well. The thing that would make Aquaman win is his telepathy. Even if for some reason he can't do anything against Namor directly, he can literally turn everything in the sea against Namor and would win that way.
It is an objective fact that Aquaman is stronger as far as I'm concerned. That doesn't mean we take Namor's strength for granted, we just acknowledge that as impressive as he is, Aquaman is just more so. Every feat or ability Namor has, Aquaman has in spades. That's all. In fact, I would state that you are the one underestimating Aquaman.
For one Namor is NOT stronger than Aquaman. So get that out of your head first. On paper, based on their feats, Aquaman has shown greater strength. That is well known by now. (Marvel fans equate being able to sucker punch Hulk as proof youre stronger for almost every character, but in reality, Hulk is very pedestrian when it comes to strength over in the DC universe) so Namor would need to somehow overcome his strength long enough to fly him to space. But even then, Aquaman can survive in space for some time too. In his earlier runs, we have been shown surviving in deep deep space. with nothing but breathing apparatus, having lengthy fights etc. but even if he didnt have that apparatus, He can hold his breath for very long periods of time in space. Now that is just his physiology that is superior. We need to talk about his Trident. Poseidon is the God of the seas, earthquakes, and ocean storms. as such, Aquaman has control over those elements too. The Trident is a divine weapon, granting him the ability to fly as well as teleport to any water source in the universe thanks to the "clear". So he's be able to fly in space too. One thin people's mistake with Aquaman is his dehydration weakness and heat resistance. Aquaman has heat resistance because Atlanteans survive living in waters near lava. writers forget that fact and translate them to having a weakness to heat like Kaldur was in Young Justice, which is not very accurate. SO Aquaman, can potentially fly through space with his trident, survive in deep space fly to a moon or something with water, then teleport to any planet in the universe that has it's own water.
Aquaman has more feats, more powers to utilize as well as more mastery of those skills. Namor would not be able to take Arthur, not by a long shot. This fight is actually very advantageous.
@@eingoluq Namor is as strong as the Hulk underwater. The writers have said as much multiple times. Also, in the DC/Marvel crossover battle, Aquaman won by having a whale fall on Namor, pinning him long enough for Aquaman to be considered the winner. In the fight, Aquaman himself stated that Namor was stronger.
@@eingoluq When they fought, Aquaman himself stated that Namor was stronger. Namor hit him once and sent him flying out of the sea and almost knocked him out with one punch, so I'll take Arthur's word on that. Does that make Namor more powerful overall? No, it doesn't. But on strength alone, Namor is stronger. Aquaman said so himself.
@@thullraven1 FALSE! you are either mis-remembering or lying hoping nobody would double check. I did:
Aquaman was faster than him and Namor couldn't land a punch. Vexed, he asked Arthur to stay still. Then Aquaman stated: "face it, we are too evenly matched" this angers Namor and because Aquaman was getting cooky, he was able to land a punch that sent him out of the water. Aquaman immediately got back up. Namor then stated that Aquaman was no match for him, in the typical arrogant way that Namor usually is. Aquaman neither agreed nor disagreed. but stated, at least he Has charm, in a very jovial and non-engaging way. He clearly didn't internalize or agree with what Namor was saying, in fact, Aquaman was quite amused by the whole fight. While still analyzing what was going on. He saw they were near evenly matched, So he had to think out of the box to beat him. So never in the fight did his confidence in the fight falter.
Even if what you are stating is true, the feats in the comics, when you do the math would disagree. Aquaman is just, faster, stronger, and more powerful with more abilities than Namor. sorry.
@@eingoluq Dude, I'm an Aquaman fan. I never said namor was more powerful overall. Aquaman is faster and more powerful overall, but NOT stronger. Even when Aquaman tries to wrap him in his cable claw and says it's unbreakable, Namor says unbreakable to you perhaps meaning that he would be strong enough to break Aquaman's cable. The writers of both DC and Mavel agree and have stated that Namor is stronger in physical strength. If you want to argue, contact DC and Marvel and tell them they are wrong. Later.
This is BS!
Namor strength level and abilities hasn't changed much over the years.However Aquaman has, in Legend of the DC Universe #27, Batman whooped Aquaman easily. So after a few writer power ups he now can beat Namor? Do better research!
Please do Top 5 or Top 10 most iconic Animated series, Movies, and other shows where Kevin Conroy as the Batman.
I'm sorry but Namor would own Aquaman. The sheer brutality of Namar and durability and strength alone would solo Aquaman.
Side note: RIP to Kevin Conroy...absolute legend in voice acting 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
In the non-canon Avengers*JLA Namor was beating the 💩out of Aquaman, it wasn't even close. They did the thing where 1 is more powerful, but the other has a "thing" and Aquan got a sea Monster to flop onto Namor long enough to score the points. Namor seems faster, stronger and to have similar feats. Dealing with Hulk & Thor is the same as dealing with Superman. If anything they're 50/50 or 51/49 for Namor
you should so more of these ITS AMAZING
I think Namor could win based on his mutant abilities giving him the edge. Other than that they are basically the same power set. I feel like Aquaman wins just because he’s more popular and therefore has more impressive feats. Either way Namor in the MCU was badass and needs his own movie ASAP.
Please do a Kevin conroy celebration video.
How could AQUAMAN defeat NAMOR who has no ability to fly, Cant mimics the ability of an electric eel or any aquatic creatures, and has no hydrokinesis power. ARIS is so biased from the start. You always favor DC characters. Dont ever feature any Marvel Characters in your channel if you never weigh in all the factors available. You've always been UNFAIR to Marvel
Can you do history of Cyclone, Rhino, Sandman, Kraven the Hunter, Chameleon, Scorpion and the Human Fly along with Kurt Connors the Lizard. Also can you do the history of the Flash Villains like Turtle, Magenta, Cobalt Blue, Mirror Master and Top?
My personal choice is gonna be Namor...everytime! As far as who's stronger&tpugher.....FALSE! NAMOR has gone toe-to-toe with Hulk, Hercules, Thor, The Thing, Ironman, and I'm sure anyone of those would woop on Aquaman anyday....juss sayin'

@@Docfly62 lol...Old School Comics I'll call my show! LOL! Seriously...DC comics Hercules is not as strong as Marvels Version , and we know that Hercules SHOULD be more powerful than any other Olympian other than maybe Zues himself. So for Aquaman to beat the snot out of Poseidon who's almost as powerful as Zues, that means that DCs Poseidon is not more powerful as say Marvels version, then that means Marvels Herc.would smear Aquaman but yet Namor has gone toe-to-toe w/Herc at least for a little while. Just some old school comic logical thinking...juss sayin'.👍

I got Namor winning that battle.
Dc Hercules is basically a puppet gets is butt kicked with any superhero.
Namor is more mean, Warrrior and more badass than Aquaman.
In my humble opinion.
In the beginning I was like no way aquaMan can beat Namor. After the case you laid out I must concede @variantcomics
This was terribly one-sided in favor of Aquaman. Besides, there is already a VS. Battle between the two in DC VS. Marvel, where it is evident that Aquaman has been seriously retconned to be more powerful. Prior to that Namor was far stronger. Aquaman was a better leader and tactician and used his wits to defeat Namor.
Dc is always overpowering their characters
Spiderman is overpowered. One of the of the most overpowered "Street level" characters out there.
Aquaman is just a copy of Namor.
Just seen the BP2 film the producers captured Namor's character well until the last fight and Namor's final scene. There is no way the Namor from the comics 'yields' in a fight in order to save his own life. NO WAY! That tarnished his character, and lastly when questioned on ending a battle that the Talokans were CLEARLY WINNING brought the viewers to view him as weak. Besides these flaws, it was a really great movie.
Yielding to save one’s own life is logical it’s not something to be ashamed of
It would actually be foolish if he didn’t yield and just accepted to be killed.
So there’s no reason for you to be complaining
What would you do? Would you yield and live or reject to yield and get killed.
I’d rather yield and live
Aquaman can also effect people (psychic) on a minor level, I don't know why that doesn't get mentioned enough...his psychic abilities on humans is so lethal he can give you a mild headache to an aneurysm
Because it wouldn't really do much on Namor?
Namor took off the Serpent Crown on his own and kicked Dr. Strange out of his head pretty easily.

@@cryptozoomauler5505 Namor started out as from the Arctic.
Naw, I don't think so. On land, Aquaman loses because although powerful, he's not that powerful on land, whereas Namor can fly and is quite powerful and fast on land. Aquaman could beat Namor in the water, if the fight just stayed in the water, but on land, Namor would slay Aquaman. Aquaman=human and Atlantean. Namor = human/mutant and Altlantean. Namor has more advantages, so Namor wins.
The only reason why Aquaman wins is because He is an upgrade copy of Namor with popularity..
Stop, even in the new 52, Aquaman's Super Strength isn't on the level of major hitters, it's more along the lines of Spider-man, while even classic versions of NAMOR could lift 75 tons according to the Marvel Handbook. So of Course NAMOR is stronger. The new 52 version of Aquaman and the hook handed versions were basically DC's take on NAMOR. Namor would win, no doubt.
Namor for me.. aside from namor being able to fly, namor has lived long enough to gain a lot of battle experience compared to aquaman.
Battle experience means nothing most of the time.
@@Slappaccino just like captian America , wolverine , wonder woman and thor's battle experience right? They mean nothing? Okay..
@jmrjhulk well let's use a real life example, here. James Toney was a top tier boxer for years. He decided he could beat up anyone in the UFC one day, got in the octagon, and got choked out by a wrestler almost immediately. His years of boxing experience did nothing for his lack of mma experience. I wasn't saying battle experience isn't ever applicable, but it generally doesn't mean much.
@@Slappaccino because of his over confidence he lost. And you dont say "its doesnt Mean much" coz it means a lot. Dont be little everyone's experience. Since your comparing "comics" to the real world. Lets talk about manny Pacquiao.. he beat a lot of theyoung guns because of his "experience". But this is comics so it all depends with the writers and this is MY opinion..... so....
@jmrjhulk Pac beat a lot of other boxers... with the same general skill set. You missed my point entirely lol. Ok, another example: Namor could fight Asgardians for years and years. That wouldn't help him in a fight against a Kryptonian in any way, shape, or form because Asgardians and Kryptonians have entirely different powers and skills. Do you get what I'm saying yet?
And I'm not belittling you. Dunno what that's about.
It's always fun to compare but I've also always thought it's unfair to compare DC vs Marvel. Most DC characters are incredibly over tuned when compared to Marvel characters/counter parts. Some dragon ball type of thing lol
I think you MASSIVELY undervalued Aquaman's speed. He is capable of swimming thousands of miles per hour. I think he is categorically faster than Namor.
Seems like DC characters will always beat Marvel's characters because DC is so OP 🤷🏽♂️. Great video but I knew how this was going to swing b4 I clicked on it lol.
Isn’t aquaman the same guy that loses his hand all the time. Lol
I’m really excited about Namor and find it’s interesting the direction they’re taking. I only wish he was bigger.
I agree
Dude should look ripped and like he could AT LEAST take on the Hulk ...
Bruh in the movie doesn't even look like he works out 😂
They didn’t want him to be fully JACKED like Thor/Hulk/Captain America because they wanted him to be toned like a SWIMMER.
And he’s still just as strong as he has been in the comics.
@@juliusseizure324 He's not tho , he literally gets tazed like a Bitch ...... In comics Namor has widthstood Ghost riders HELL fire ..... Didn't win the fight but HELLfire wasn't enough to take him down.......
HOW are you telling me he's just as strong as in the comics . They literally made Namor into a f ing joke in the movie 🤦
Right! The dude should have a physique closer to the graphic novel version of Namor. Can't match it, but at least get the guy buff!
Since we’re comparing any iteration of the character. Namor because he’s literally a Mayan God. And if he can spar with Thor which is the Norse Zeus (the greater of the three Greek Gods ((sorry Poseidon))). Then by default, trumps Aquaman.
What? Zeus is Odin's equivalent, not Thor's. In their respective mythologies, the Greek gods are more powerful than the Norse gods. I mean, Zeus is nearly all powerful while Odin's whole shtick is getting eaten by a wolf. The term "god" is completely meaningless in fiction, though. It's just a title. And... did you not see Aquaman beat two Greek gods in this video? If we use any version of the characters then Aquaman could clap Namor with his Water Hand. It sounds stupid lol, but it made him OP as shit. I'm talking "ripping through space-time barriers to reach an extra-dimensional sea" levels of op. He could also form magic weaponry and negate / dispel magical attacks with it among many other powers when he was the Waterbearer.
Namor fan since a kid, 30 now so I'm going Namor always
That’s not how to be a fan. You accept your characters weaknesses and still love them regardless. They won’t win every battle. Namor obviously loses to Aquaman plain and simple.
Namor is a villain. Aquaman is stronger
Aquaman's greatest advantage is him being a hero grants him access to plot armor. Namor doesnt have that since he's an Anti-hero and outright villain most of the time.
When was he an "outright" villain? And if he was for one issue, his motivations would usually reveal themselves in the next issue.
the voice of batman just died
If Namor had as much attention as Aquaman his feats would probably be more extensive. Just my opinion namir would drop aquaman
Facts. The really gloss over how strong Namor is. He’s consistently among the strongest earthlings in Marvel since the silver age. He’s solo’d the F4 more times than anyone can count and is at least on par with Savage Hulk. He would split Aquaman’s head open.
That makes no sense. You're basically saying "Well if Namor had better feats then he'd have better feats. "
Thats your opinion
Wrong in the DC vs. Marvel match ups Namor defeated Aquaman, who had to cheat my calling a whale to fall on top of Namor.
