I've got a good feeling neither of these guys will make the bracket (Well, Aqua might, but Namor probably won't).

But who is better, Namor The Submariner or Arthur "Aquaman" Curry? Why?

They're both princes, yes. They both like wearing green. Both have worn beards in their past, and both have had embarrassing stories told of them (The teen-Namor love story from 3 years ago, pretty much all of Aqua's cartoon appearances in the 70s and 80s).

I pick Namor. Because he's not trying to be a hero. Because he's a stuck up narcissistic jerk. Because if you pollute the ocean, he will destroy your city. Because he can fly. And because he could kick Aquaman's orange ass.

Aquaman's a pussy!

Namor's an asshole.

Aquaman's lame when he has either a pointy metal hand or a hand made out of water. Seriously, what good is a hand made out of water?

I began competitive swimming as a little kid, right around when first runs of the Justice League were on every Saturday morning, so I dug Aquaman and have always held him in some regard thereafter. Fortunately my lack of willingness to spend money on his comics as I grew up precluded me from being exposed to the pointy hand or water hand things, so as far as my shielded little mind is concerned, that never happened and Aquaman is that smiling guy from JLA who sends the roundy waves out of his head and gets all the sea creatures to go get the bad guys or rescue the good guys.

And Namor is a dick.

I love tweeners and there aren't many of them in superhero comics, so Namor for me.

Odin help me, I'm agreeing with Thor's butt boy again. What is this world coming to?

I missed the Metal Hand Aquaman and only read a few issues of Aquaman with the water hand. Still, the AquaX2 Man story explaining how we got the water hand was pretty good.

I'll go with Auqaman for two reasons: 1)He generally has the better stories. 2) He has a better taste in women. He sometimes has the hots for Wonder Woman - Long dark hair, huge bosoms, fights in a bathing suit. Whereas Namor's obsession is with Sue Richards. Namor, you're a prince of the seas. You can definitely do better than an older woman with two kids who is probably starting to sag in all the wrong places.
