How strong is he?
>>82377989
Not strong enough.
>>82377989
As strong as the ocean
>>82377989
Who needs strength when you can do this?
not that strong. I've only read New 52 Aquaman so maybe not.
>>82377989
Strong enough to be impressive, not so strong as to be OP and hard to write around.
I dunno, I think he's kind of around STAS Superman level perhaps?
>>82377989
strong enough to flip a truck (although he had momentum on his side there) and almost entirely shrug off rifle fire
still gets a little bruised by the bullets but not much
>>82379081
oh also he can leap medium sized buildings in a single bound
>>82379081
Well not a truck a what do you call them moving vane style vehicles
Strong enough to not be crushed by the pressure of the deepest oceans. So really fucking strong.
>>82378120
>all people laughing at him
for fuck's sake, he's riding on goddamn DOLPHINS. how og is that?
>>82379357
i liked how brave and the bold was able to have him more serious while still having that sillyness from superfriends to bridge the gap to help fix public opinion of him.
>>82379370
I don't know why the fuck the perception about him came to be in the first place
I have never read aquaman comics but I have never laughed about the character because I actually know his usual power set
there's no reason for the public to laugh at him when you can make his character baller as fuck in one step
>show that he is strong as FUCK
>>82379393
alternatively focus on his role as a ruler he wields incredible power he should be able to bring Atlantis out against the worst foes.
>>82379393
Literally because of Superfriends
Superman flew
Batman and Robin and Wonder Woman had planes
Aquaman had a jet ski, if not those dolphins
He could beat superman in the water, so he's strong in the water lol
>>82377989
Aquaman is king of Atlantis
Atlantis is said to be in the deepest part of the ocean
the deepest part of the ocean (known) is the Mariana trench (10,994m)
every 10 m under the surface of the water is 1 atm, the equivalent of 14.7 psi (1 atm/14.7 psi is the pressure we humans experience every day above the sea
10,994 รท 10 = 1,099.4
1,099.4 atm = 16156.7261 psi
The resistive strength of concrete is around 4,000 psi.
That should give you an idea of how strong Aquaman is.
>>82379864
shouldn't aquaman explode like fish do when you retrieve them from such depths?
>>82380219
Obviously his strength is internal as well as external. He's exerting his muscles to make a contractive force so he doesn't explode.
Or you know he's like one of those subs we sent down to the Mariana Trench that was able to come back up without crumpling. Reinforced metal construction tier strength.
Auqaman is strong enough to have a shitty movie that will flop at the box office because its shitty Auqaman for fucks sake
>>82379864
So 16 times stronger than a man plus aquatic mind control and gills. Magic trident helps too.
>>82380833
also has impossibly strong durability
>>82380773
I assume you dont read comic books
>>82379864
So... As strong as concrete?
>>82379864
That only tells me how resilient he is and while I appreciate the knowledge of Aquaman's hardness for my fanfics, it doesn't tell me how strong he is.
>>82379182
That fact is bullshit because it means he should suffer explosive decompression on the surface
>>82381108
you want lifting strength i will see if i can find the panel.
here it is
im not sure what his upper limit is but its at least that he then goes on to jump on top of buildings from the ground.
>>82381059
4x concrete
>>82381239
But that image is inaccurate. The radiator would be torn out, in fact anything short of the chassis would be ripped out leaving the bulk of the truck sitting.
>>82381288
i dont know what you think is happening in that panel
the van was speeding at aquaman he stuck out his trident and when it caught on the truck flipped it over the head with his own strength.
>>82381288
welcome to comics
>>82380833
>16x stronger
more like 1099x stronger, considering he would keep his strength at those depths
>>82377989
Is he strong? Listen bud, he's got aquatic blood.
Watch out, here comes the Aqua-Man.
>>82378019
>Black Manta
>white minions
Those guys are slaves, aren't they?
>>82377989
he's 1 non-bloodlusted superman underwater and Thing tier on the surface
>>82377989
>>82379864
>>82381239
>>82381345
I don't know how you think trucks work, but flipping an entire truck by sticking a trident into it's radiator is the equivalent of lifting a building by grabbing one of it's doors.
>>82381155
Or at least collapse useless into a flesh puddle because he has no bones.
>>82384043
C O M I C S
>>82384043
could have pierced the engine block, it's a long trident, see >>82384011
But you're right, I don't know how trucks work.
Doesn't he hold up an entire Gotham City block in War of Atlantis when its falling into the ocean?
>>82378120
>>82378019
That will never not be one of the greatest moments of in-context dickery in DC.
Any comics you would recconmend for waterman?
>>82385313
PAD's run
The entire New 52 run minus Bunn.
>>82379864
>>82377989
>>82385003
That page is bullshit, those dolphins would totally be encouraging Arthur to plow dolphin pussy.
>>82379864
>>82380219
>>82380578
Fish have internal pressure differences to keep the ocean from crushing them.
Aquaman FLEXES his muscles and then carries the pressure of the entire ocean on him instead.
He'd by necessity be insanely strong.
Being on land would feel like being on the moon to him and everything would feel fragile and breakable up here.
>>82383901
Oh, Black Manta doesn't care about race. That entire thing ended up being a lie by his own admission in the issue where it first showed up to troll Aquaman.
He only cares about fucking up Aquaman's life.
>>82385243
Black Manta is an old-school supervillain.
He had motivations (in theory) but almost all are irrelevant and made up. He commits crimes, but they're just there so he can get funding for his real passions.
He lives and breathes to ruin Aquaman's life.
>>82385003
dat ass
>>82385003
How many sea creatures has Aquaman had sex with?
>>82377989
Strong enough to punch Superman in the face and actually make it hurt.
>>82386577
>lives and breathes
Arthur Jr ;_;
>>82377989
Strong enough to penetrate you and plunge into your depths wether you want it or not.
>>82384043
ah i see what you mean now
kind of
>>82379454
I'm kind of amazed that even though Superfriends has been over for more than forty years, he's still thought of as a joke.
