    did he get depowered? I was over on the battle board today and people seem to con side enamor much weaker than I remember him being. Apparently he can't hang with Vision or Cyborg or Wonder Woman or Aquaman.

    So is he like mistier now? Low midtier? What's the deal?

    @sunman: I don't know. I think people agree he is way physically stronger than Aquaman and Cyborg. Wonder woman and Vision is kind of a different situation. He's still high tier in power. In recent scans He took a really high fall with pretty much no injuries. So his durability is still up there. For strength however, there isn't much I can find in recent scans. Unless you count 2008 as ''recent''. But I still think it's the same as always.

    This. Namor took that fall and survived. Aquaman jumps and lands from those heights constantly. Even outside of Earth's atmosphere. It's his way of travelling on land. Plus the speed difference between Aquaman and Namor is huge. Aquaman constantly has high hypersonic feats, covering miles in a second, while Namor's last good speed feat was going 400 hundred knots or something. Not even comparable.

    Plus he got decapitaded by Hyperion's heat vision. Aquaman has tanked Superman's, Martian Manhunter's and even Amazo's heat vision constantly.

    But I hope Namor get's some respect in the Secret Empire tie ins. If he loses to Cap one on one, it will look very bad though.

    @seastone98: Yeah, but he mostly needs a series, even if it's a 5 issue mini. Focused on the current state of Atlantis in the MU, after Secret Wars.

    But also some good feats.
