Well the Captain Britain thing is a waste. Or rather they both waste him. He’s around Class 90 and facing two badge-wearing, card-carrying members of the Class 100 club.
I feel like a foot of water is a nice amount to make the main fight pretty close, and like Namor maybe has the strength advantage while Simon has the durability edge.
I’d lean to Namor overall, but it’s a tough fight.
Namor and Wonder Man fought way back around Avengers #155 or so, on a ship out on the ocean. Namor got in a couple of good hits, but Wonder Man won decisively:
And in addition, at that time, Wonder Man had not regained all of his original strength. Some of it came back as he fought/defeated Attuma (which was after the Namor fight above).
I believe it was a few issues later when Simon himself stated that after "the Stone Knight defeated me, my power mysteriously increased back to where it used to be. I Hope that it is enough."
I think current Namor is (for whatever reason) is stronger than he was before as evidenced by his recently completely no-selling Captain Marvel and holding Thor's hammer and Iron Man's fist firmly in place and almost crushing both at the same time. Thor pretty much mentioned it because he fought Namor just a few weeks before their confrontation in Avengers (that's current Thor's role, to note how much stronger his erstwhile rivals have become).
Thing is, Wonder Man too is also stronger, wrestling Red Hulk into that sleeper hold some years ago was pretty crazy.
At this point, I think Wonder Man might have a slight edge over, at least enough for him to win a majority of their fights. But I could easily see them fighting to a draw.
For a long time, Namor was considered Class 75 (equivalent to Ben Grimm) away from water, and Class 100 while in the water. He has fought Iron Man many times over the years and never previously showed the capacity to crush Iron Man's fist, let alone Mjolnir.
Well the Captain Britain thing would be a waste except he can now go beyond class 90 strength (do people still use this as a accurate measure of ability?). I can easily say on his best day he smokes both of them and no his worst he doesn't
P.S. It should be noted that for those who don't read Captain Britain that his powers changed in 2009, and anything you knew about him before that is probably old hat.
Would you care to post some feats to support that assertion that he’s beyond Class 90? Or does the fact that you can “easily say” that “he smokes both of them” somehow make that the case?
And we use ‘Class -‘ as general guide, not as an accurate measure of ability. And no, we certainly don’t assume it means ‘can lift/press 90 tons” because that’s just bollocks.
Cap helps land 600 ton plane. (Granted the plane is very unlikely to be 600 tons, however the average plane weight is well over 100 tons.)
