Aquaman (New 52) vs Super-Skrull

Rules

Random Encounter

Current version of Aquaman

Pre Secret Invasion version of Super-Skrull

Aquaman has his Trident

Super-Skrull is unarmed

No help

No prep

In character

BFR doesn't count as a victory

Location: Amnesty Bay

id say super skrull

@AllStarSuperman: Why?

SS

@Xanni15: cause he has fire powers, force fields and hes superstrong.

Current Aquaman is still stronger than Super Skrull ( although not by much on land) , but with the Skrull's flames, force fields, flight and hypnotic abilities, this is definitely a fight that can go either way, as the Skrull has a lot of options, while being very difficult to harm.. In fact, on land I'd lean towards Super Skrull. Underwater, it would be Aquaman all the way.

@AllStarSuperman: AM isn't weak, he has "water powers", and a trident.

@Xanni15: yes but SS can strech and is superstrong.his force fields will hold back aquamans attacks and he'll toast aquaman with fire.

Super Skrull

Super Skrull, he would suffucate him with a force field or burn him with a nova burst

super skrull easy

SS

Super Skrull. He could just fly and heat blast land and sea bound Aquaman dry. Bad match-up for the King of Atlantis unless he can get the very smart SS into the water.

superskrull

Super Skrull would win this with ease. Even as a big Aquaman fan I can admit that.

Super Skrull.

Aquaman's only real advantage is his trident, but Super Skrull's versatility makes up for it.

And whats that going to do?

@heirtothekingdom: Arthur has a different trident that has elemental powers now.

Super Skrull.

Thats no true.

Aquamans advantages are Strength, durability(since he can just jump in the water to regen), his trident that controls elements, and he has the numbers advantage as he can call sea monsters to distract super skrull.

superskrull

@truth_teller: Aquaman is not as strong as the Super Skrull who has shown better striking feats than him. Not to mention this is durability not potential durability, meaning that just because he's more durable than the Super Skrull in water doesn't mean much as it isn't his natural durability. Also judging from the pictures location, they seem to be too high up for any sea animals to reach (unless he calls Topo, but it is a hard task which weakens him), so I don't see that being a factor. Not to mention Skrull is still more versatile as he's shown he can combined his abilities, and use them in different ways compared to Arthur's usual approach with each.

@blackwind: I'm aware, but I don't see that changing the course of the battle so that Arthur wins.

Super Skrull for the win. More versatile and can use aquamans weakness toasting him out like a calamare

Why do you seem to be under the impression that Aquamans weakness is heat?

Not as strong? Doesnt the Skrull just get his strength from Ben? If thats so, then Aquaman is stronger. Especially pre 52 Aquaman.

His durability doesnt matter if its potential or not. They're fighting in Amnesty Bay. His backyard. All he has to do is jump in the water and he gets regened.

And all of what I just said is irrelevant as I was just pointing out that what you initially said about Aquamans only advantage being his trident is incorrect.

@truth_teller:

1. I believe it's been stated that Super Skrull surpasses the rest of the Fantastic 4 in their abilities. Even so, Aquaman hasn't really done anything to say he's superior to him.

2. Okay, but the Super Skrull isn't an idiot, he's not going to jump into the water after he sees Arthur do it. He would most likely send blasts of fire down there, use a force-field, or go invisible.

3. I guess

1. I heard that Super Skrull is might be as good with his abilities as the F4. So if thats the case he's not even as strong as Ben. Which is pretty bad.

2. I didnt say that SS would jump in the water. I was merely pointing out an advantage Aquaman has over SS.

Super Skrull for 2 reasons:

1. Force Bubbles
2. Stabbing attacks. Aquaman's durability isn't that impressive against cutting/stabbing attacks. Manta's blade cut him all the time and bullets have drawn blood from him.

Ss, he can eat force like reed, of ben, and he has forcefields, thats highly durable, and hes more versatile in my eyes ss 6.5/10

What stabbing attacks does Super Skrull use??

@truth_teller: he could make sharp objects with his force fields, he's also made a sword and bow and arrow with fire before, he could contort his body into a point and with thing strength that's essential a crazy powerful knife, also human torch has lowered temperature of an area and removed moisture before so super skrull could and that would affect aquaman heavily. Plus superskrull could easily fly up, cover himself in a force field that aquaman can't reach, let alone break and then superskrull rains down heat into aquaman while pelting him with force field attacks and if he needs to, he'll just become a stretchy, thing strength invisible creature and beat aquamans ass

I wasn't thinking of the force fields but yes that is one way.

I was referring to the times he has turned his hand into a javelin and stabbed individuals using a combo of mr fantastic/thing's powers.

thanks for the sharp object info, but why are you people under the impression that heat is aquamans weakness?

@truth_teller: here is an example of sharp objects from force fields Good control over his shields he is something badass Can use them directly against brains heres a quick examples of force field stopping high end energy Can block blasts from Silver Surfer and sharp thing strength arm also force field blasts Using them as blasts

and im not sure i know hes not really that weak to heat/fire but removing moisture from him/air should be at the minimum a nuisance. This is human torch, not super skrull i personally believe anything the FF can do, superskrull has the POTENTIAL to do, he may need to train or discover that application of his powers.

• He’s able to suck out the moisture from a person’s body. At one point he uses this ability to defeat She-Hulk

• Freezes the top floor of the Baxter by absorbing all the heat around it, and then releases it in a large explosion

• Another heat absorption feat

• He freezes Graviton

• Can stay on fire underwater

• He can even fly underground by melting the earth!

• Water is not an instant win against him

and the thing's strength is enough to hurt aquaman on his own

@rpgesus: Ok good. There was someone else that mentioned heat as if it would do anything to Aquaman. So i was wondering if theres a misconception that if he doesnt drink a glass of water before a fight he might dehydrate and die lol. Anyway, since SS has used the removal of moisture from the air i believe he could do it, not that it would matter but even then SS doesnt have telepathy so he wouldnt know to use that ability.

Super Skrull

@truth_teller: well he has this hypnotize/tp power

@rpgesus: I see that. I wonder if it would work. Not that I think he would need it. I think even without it, SS would win. I think it would be a very good fight if it werent for the force shield hax stuff like putting it in peoples heads and stuff.

@truth_teller: so he doesn't have a weakness to having all the moisture sucked out of his body. Either way he cain just brain bubble aquaman and if he tries to escape trap him in a bowl shape force field and boil him with torches nova flame.

Super Skrull wins.

Aquaman isn't weak against fire (Just pointing).

@matchesmalone21: but if still does damage right?

Yes!! a little,but yes!!!

@truth_teller: Most people seem to seriously think he has a weakness to heat. He doesn't. I can site instances of new 52, pre 52, and even before that of Aquaman tanking things that make the "vulnerable to heat" claims look weak.

Yea, I agree.
