Vs Marty McFly: Namor - 99% probability of victory. Marty’s time-traveling
capabilities are no match for Namor’s superhuman powers.

would be ineffective against Namor’s strength and aquatic abilities.

powers and control over water could overcome the T-800’s mechanical nature.
Vs The Master Chief: Namor - 75% probability of victory. Considering Namor’s
superhuman strength, durability, and ability to fly, he would have a significant
advantage over Master Chief’s technology and combat experience.
Vs Wonder Woman: Wonder Woman - 60% probability of victory. Despite Namor’s
powers, Wonder Woman’s divine abilities and warrior skills would likely give her the
upper hand.
