So no one still can't come up with decent speed feats for Namor? Vader probably does not even need TK to win this his speed+lightsaber is probably enough as is.
He's no slowpoke I can tell you that much.
WW2 Destroyers weigh somewhere between 2000-3000 tons. Despite the fact that he lifted it underwater, you gotta admit that's pretty impressive.
That's Krang's ship if you didn't recognize.
He did this when he was still relatively young.
And if Vader still manages to pin him down..well..
@juiceboks: I don't think the force is something you can necessarily lift your way out of, but I do believe Namor has the strength to break out of it....but not at all easily and not without some time being lost, time that he cannot afford to lose which might cause him to lose his life
Vader destroys buildings, crushes immense droids, throws ships, hurls people across alleyways, knocks over massive trees, wrecks portions of structures, and so on.
Not to mention Vader doesn't have to rely on TK alone, from what I remember, Imperius isn't notably resistant to telepathy ...
Vader can control winds, use Deflection (to block even lightsaber blades), probe minds, use Drain Knowledge, controls minds, induce fear, seemingly render himself immovable, use Dun Moch, use Beast Control, and so on.
But the Force, of course, was quite real—and the black tentacles of its dark side had hardened Palpatine and his new pupil, Darth Vader, into evil incarnate. They shared its horrible energies, and used them to fill the minds of their subservient military minions with fear.

“Give yourself to the dark side, Luke,” he entreated. “It is the only way you can save your friends. Yes, your thoughts betray you, son. Your feelings for them are strong, especially for—“ Vader stopped. He sensed something.
Luke withdrew further into shadow. He tried to hide, but there was no way to hide what was in his mind—Leia was in pain. Her agony cried to him now, and his spirit cried with her. He tried to shut it out, to shut it up, but the cry was loud, and he couldn't stifle it, couldn't leave it alone, had to cradle it openly, to give it solace. Vader's consciousness invaded that private place. “No!” screamed Luke.
Vader was incredulous. “Sister? Sister!” he bellowed. “Your feelings have now betrayed her, too... Twins!” he roared triumphantly. “Obi-Wan was wise to hide her, but now his failure is complete.”

Then, Vader and Palpatine both gained access to Luke's innermost thoughts, those that protected his sister, Princess Leia Organa.

Vader leapt again, this time to the bridge, and to within only a few meters of Shryne, who spun about, dropping to one knee and firing repeatedly. This time Vader decided to show Shryne whom he was dealing with. Holding his lightsaber to one side, he raised his right hand to turn the blaster bolts.
Clearly astonished, Shryne remained on one knee, but only briefly. In an instant he had passed through the gate and was shouldering his way through the crowd outside the wall.

The blade might have gotten past Vader's guard, but instead it glanced off the back of his upraised left hand, smoke curling from the black glove.

Another large piece of machinery glanced off Luke’s body and crashed out the large window, letting in the screaming wind. Suddenly everything in the room was blown about, and the fierce wind lashed Luke’s body and filled the room with a bansheelike howl. And in the very center of the room, standing still and triumphant, was Darth Vader.
“You are beaten,” the Dark Lord of the Sith gloated. “It is useless to resist. You will join me or you will join Obi-Wan in death!”
As Vader spoke these words, a final piece of heavy machinery soared through the air, striking the young Jedi and knocking him through the broken window. Everything became a great blur as the wind carried him, tossing and rolling, until he managed to grab hold of a beam with one hand. With the wind subsided a bit and his vision cleared, Luke realized that he was hanging from the gantry of the reactor shaft outside the control room.
He didn’t want to believe Vader, tried convincing himself that it was Vader who lied to him—but somehow he couldfeel the truth in the Dark Lord’s words. But, if Darth Vader did speak the truth, why, he wondered, had Ben Kenobi lied to him? Why? His mind screamed louder than any wind the Dark Lord could ever summon against him.
The answers no longer seemed to matter.
His father.
With the calmness that Ben himself and Yoda, the Jedi Master, had taught him, Luke Skywalker made, perhaps, what might be his final decision of all. “Never,” Luke shouted as he stepped out into the empty abyss beneath him. For all its unperceived depth, Luke might have been falling to another galaxy.
Darth Vader moved to the end of the gantry to watch as Luke tumbled away. A strong wind began to blow, billowing Vader’s black cloak out behind him as he stood looking over the edge.

They stared at him. He used his good foot to leap across the grate, and hit the lever with his bad ankle, forcing the lever back despite the pain. As he did so, he used all his strength to pull the blasters toward him. A huge wind blew up and yanked them toward him. It sapped him, made him weak. He wondered vaguely if the same thing had happened to Vader when he had made the same move in Cloud City.

The wind picked up, and Vader's black cape rippled at his back. "Luke—you can destroy the Emperor. He has foreseen this. It is your destiny." He opened his left hand end held it out to Luke. "Join me, and together we can rule the galaxy as father and son."
His voice is so hypnotic, Luke thought, and he felt part of him falling under Vader's spell.

So even if he can't hold Namor down for long, he can make him not want to fight at all or be too afraid to move....
Also if Vader does hold Namor in place, there's no reason he should take his time when he is as fast as he is ...
He is fast enough to deflect shots from turret emplacements, move his blade imperceptibly fast, move his blade faster than thought, produce afterimages, etc.
The Dark Lord stepped into the room, scanning it. There was somethinghere...
The faint click of metallic weapons reached his ears. Faster than thought, Vader drew and ignited his lightsaber. In the same moment, small openings appeared in the walls and ceiling, and hidden blasters fired. Energy beams rained down on the Dark Lord and his soldiers. Stormtroopers cried out as blaster bolts shattered their white armor. At least a dozen bolts streaked toward Vader himself. Moving faster than the eye could follow, Vader's lightsaber blocked them all.

He really shouldn't have trouble in my opinion...but I can always be swayed
@ancient_0f_days: You got those quotes and scans from Silver2467 didn't you? O_O
