Aquaman versus Sub-Mariner

So, watching Jeapardy the other night and host Alex Trebec (sp?) while talking with one of the contestants revealed that he was a fan of Sub-Mariner and used to collect the comic. I thought that was pretty cool. Not in the "dude, he likes comics too" sense, but that "wow he's a fan of a character that isn't super popular with his own movie coming soon" sense.

Me? I'm a DC guy and when Sub-mariner comes up the obvious comparison is to good ol' Aquaman. A while back the debate was going on about who was "better" so for giggles I came up with a little list. Enjoy.

And now: 10 reasons why Aquaman is better than Namor!

10: Better hair.

9: Was a stud in Smallville

8: Been on a lot more cartoons and even had one of his own.

7: Namor raided the surface world to try to get a bride. Aquaman has the ladies come to him.

6: More options for footwear. Can wear cool boots without having to worry about pesky ankle wings.

5: Was mentioned in a Barenaked Ladies song.

4: Got that whole sexual tension thing with Wonder Woman. Everyone knows she digs him.

3: Was really cool in the Justice League Heroes game as opposed to Namor in Marvel Ultimate Alliance where he was... oh yeah... NOT THERE!

2: Does not need a weird battle cry. "Imperious Rex"? What?

...and finally...

1: Aquaman has never gone into battle wearing only a speed-o.
