Why? How does he win easily with a foot or so of water? Particularly if Loki freezes it You're probably too young to have had a Physics class in school, but frozen ice is still 2 molecules of Hydrogen and 1 molecule of Oxygen aka H2O aka Water. |

Why? How does he win easily with a foot or so of water? Because water is to Aquaman as yellow sun radiation is to Superman. Water makes Aquaman more powerful similar to how yellow sun radiation makes Superman more powerful. Maybe I need to make myself clear, this is the movie versions of the characters we're talking about. There was nothing in the movie that indicated Aquaman got a boost of strength just because he was touching water. To be fair, I also don't recall Loki freezing anything in the movies. |

I only think Aquaman would win because onscreen he kind of strikes me as the Thor of the DC movies. I didn't think being surrounded by water would suddenly make him into a waterbender, like Avatar The Last Airbender.

I don't recall even comic Aquaman having this attribute. It's Namor who gets stronger when he's in contact with water. |

They teach chemical reactions in chemistry class, not physics. B. It’s in physics class where they might explain why it’s real hard to swim in ice. C. Two molecules of H and one molecule of O is expresses as 2H2O. D. Once you evolve real science, All Aquaman’s fictional powers suddenly go poof. Similar to how real science poofed the fictitious Deflate-gate. Always Wrong, strikes again! DC-Fan set himself up for complete ownage there. |

Arthur is not a god. Loki is a highly skilled sorcerer. Picked himself up. Costume wasn't even singed. Doesnt work up much of a sweat against Cap. Fun fact.the old dude was on Man From Atlantis. Yeah, I watched it as a teen back in the 70s |

I agree that it's a bit like in the Aquaman movie: winning depend on location, location, location.
Underwater Loki would drown like a bitch, but even with an oxygen tank, it's Aqua's element and faunae after all, - he could have Loki eaten by sharks and worse with a snap of his fingers (unless Loki can conjure up air bubbles).
But on the land Loki would give Aqua an ass whopping (if he has a blade that can hurt Aqua) simply by the fact he is more intelligent, cunning and mage-y.

Well Loki is in the MCU, so he can’t die.

Who would win a fight between these two? Aquaman has his golden trident. Loki has his mind scepter. Both in full armor. Fight takes place in the waterfall arena of Wakanda (where T'Challa fought M'Baku). There's a bit of water there so Aquaman can do his water spear shield thing. On Loki's part, he's not allowed to use mind control but is allowed the rest of his powers. Combatants can win via killing their opponent, making them yield, or throwing them off the cliff. Who wins? Not fair. Loki is still a god. Much longer lived so much more experienced. Unscrupulous so he'd fight dirty and even cheat. And magic.
Aquaman is da man, but Loki would win.

I understand all of Loki's powers, but I still think Aquaman would win. He just seems the stronger and better fighter of the two. I think if he was prepared, he would do well. Now if he was not prepared, Loki might do what he did to Thor many times and trick him into losing. I could see that.

Well... this thread has apparently been derailed... Yeah.
I was sort of unclear about Loki and Thor's alleged God status. I know the characters in classical Norse mythology are Gods. I thought it was confirmed, confirmed or changed, in Ragnarok that they're not Gods. They can be hurt and die.
I also thought, maybe incorrectly, that Aquaman was on the same level of demigod bordering on God. Not because he was explained that way, but because that's just how he came across onscreen. At least in The Justice League movie. But technically, I don't know what he is either.
All this football talk might as well be in Swahili to me, I know any of the players or what's going on. Something about an allegedly deflated ball.  Professor Marlow sounds like an Agatha Christie character. |

Both are bullet proof, both have super strength, both wield spears. Arthur seems the better fighter but Loki has more powers. |

I have a funny suspicion my I'll have to change my vote and mind after I see Aquaman.
I think it's a terrific match. The match and the concept. Is this another tournament in the works?

No, but I guess I could think up a similar themed tournament come the new year. |

All derailing science and football mumbo jumbo deleted because...it has nothing to do with Aquaman and Loki...sad that it took up over half the posts in the thread. To be fair, I also don't recall Loki freezing anything in the movies. He froze Heimdall but that was using the special object belonging to the Frost Giants. Not his own power. |

All derailing science and football mumbo jumbo deleted Eh, probably for the best. It was just DC-Fan regurgitating the same failed arguments and lies that get him ridiculed over at the Sports board. Let’s get back to the important stuff! Aquaman vs Loki’s corpse. |
