    Every version of WW has a considerable speed advantage and most have the power or weapons to put Namor down for the count

    This would need to be actually in the water with speed somehow equalized for Namor to have a shot here, and when he would need that many situational advantages, that's a statement right there.

    Wonder Woman quite easily. He would have no chance to move it into the water and, as Pendaran said, he'd need to start in the water and have speeds equal or close to equal to have any chance.
    Power with Girl is better.

    Thanks! I think most pros and fans tend to agree with you. I've never had a solid understanding of Namor's speed...uh..other than his temper

    He's also a pretty fast mover, if you get my meaning. ^_^

    Lest we forget.

    And yeah. Most versions of Diana are much too fast for Namur outside of the water.
    Though much is taken, much abides; and though
    We are not now that strength which in old days
    Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are,
    One equal temper of heroic hearts,
    Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
    To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

    So, does current WW actually have any reaction feats worth mentioning?

    Yes. Bullet timing. Enough to beat Namor

    Namor used to be off the chain back in the day.

    I think that's fairly standard Namor. If anything, he might have even better strength feats by now. I think that was a pretty toned down Hulk compared to the levels he attained in more recent years but the way Namor beat him at least makes sense. Catching rockets is a level of superspeed reaction time that I consider to be kind of standard in comics, assuming the character also has the strength and durability for it. The Hulk has done stuff like that too. I don't think it's up there with the speed to aim dodge something as small as bullets or "bullet time".

    I was looking for modern scans of Namor and wandered a little too far:
