The most famous interpersonal hero fight has always been Superman versus Batman, but in reality Aquaman would be a much more worthy match for the Man of Steel. While they haven't directly battled yet, Aquaman has proven many times that he could hold a candle to Kal-El with massive displays of power.
So in conclusion it is possible for superman to beat Aquaman under water. But it will all depend on the technique he uses. With just sheer will power, strength and speed, he won't be able to. But via his gravity manipulation or flight, he will beat Aquaman under water.
While kryptonite is Superman's greatest weakness, he's susceptible to other forms of energy and threats. This makes Billy Batson — aka Shazam, the World's Mightiest Mortal — one of Superman's greatest opponents. Batson can transform himself into an incredibly powerful adult body when he says the magic word "Shazam."
Superman is very vulnerable to telepathy. This is going to make defeating Martian Manhunter impossible for the Man of Steel. In fact, it would make it hard for anyone to defeat Martian Manhunter, since he could puppet Superman around from afar.
Captain Atom has proven in past battles that he is stronger than Superman and has better fighting skills. He can also weaponize red sun radiation, which can weaken Superman like Kryptonite and magic. His sometimes uncontrolled nature has earned him a reputation as one of the most dangerous DC heroes.
You've got to also have a keen fighting style, and we're pretty sure that one goes to Thor. Obviously, Aquaman has seen his share of battle, and there are a bunch of dead parademons who can attest to his skill. But Thor has proven repeatedly that he can always come out on top in a contest of pure fighting skill.
Over time, Aquaman has proven that he's way more than the guy who talks to fish but Wolverine would be able to take him. Aquaman is way stronger than Wolverine but Wolverine has been fighting foes ways stronger than him for a long time.
Hulk is often pot as being stronger than Thor. Someone who can move nidavellir the size of a small moon or destroy sokovia in one-hit. If he's strong enough to overpower someone like Thor, he's beating— aquaman.
Aquaman can hit extremely hard as he was knocking parademons out/killing them with one or two blows, but Shazam has an extreme durability that may be able to withstand the power of the King. If Aquaman is going all out he may be able to overwhelm Shazam quickly but that may be reaching.
AQUAMAN wins. Even though Spiderman must have faced the Hulk, he always avoids Hulk punches and can still be injured by bullets because Spiderman still has a level durability (3) which means the peak human in Marvel.
By most accounts, Superman seemingly outclasses Thor in terms of raw strength, especially in earlier versions of the DC Universe. He's pulled planets, punched people into orbit, and performed all sorts of wild feats of strength.
He also retroactively developed a specific weakness akin to Superman's vulnerability to kryptonite or Green Lantern's vulnerability to the color yellow: Aquaman had to come into contact with water at least once per hour or he would die. Prior to this, Aquaman could exist both in and out of water indefinitely.
Superhuman Strength: Aquaman possesses superhuman strength on the order of 150 times human maximum (assuming a human max of 800 lbs, meaning approximately 60 tons), although he's shown feats of at least 80 tons worth of striking and lifting power, but his strength is always underrated, considering the company that he ...
Who would win in a fight, Aquaman or Thanos? Thanos beats aquaman so bad it's not even funny. Thanos is superior in every aspect, speed, strength, durability, energy Manipulation etc. Hell thanos can beat superman while aquaman is a notch below superman.
He is outclassed in both strength and combat speed. Deadpool at best is a 2 tonner while aquaman can go up to 80 tons while dry, and his power increases the wetter he gets. In addition, Deadpool doesn't even have the means to cut or wound him in anyway as Aquaman's Atlantian skin is too tough.
In Atlantis, Aquaman took the fight to the Joker and was able to beat him, although the clown did escape. Joker held up better than anyone would have expected, but once Aquaman got going, there was nothing that Joker could do to stop him.
Zeus would have the home turf advantage in this fight, as he rarely leaves Olympus. However, he's also just not used to fighting like Thor is. Zeus is certainly more powerful than Thor in many ways, but he's not a fighter like Thor is.
There is no clear answer as to who would win in a fight between Shazam and Thor. Both are incredibly powerful superheroes, but they have different strengths and weaknesses. Shazam is faster and more agile than Thor, while Thor has greater strength.
Captain Marvel and Superman's DNA gives access to their superhuman abilities. Superman's insane strength can be his greatest weapon to win the fight between Captain Marvel. However, Captain Marvel's ability to absorb energy can be her huge advantage in the battle.
There's no question the Hulk is a near-indestructible force who comes out on top in almost all of his battles of pure strength. However, against Superman, he's outmatched. While Hulk's strength might rival that of the Man of Steel, Superman's other abilities give him a considerable edge against his opponent.
As the dialogue in Justice League #73 suggested, while Superman's specific vulnerabilities give Black Adam a chance against him, that doesn't mean the two are equal in power, and the Man of Steel is clearly stronger by any comparison.
The comics have shown the former Captain Marvel best Superman in a one-on-one fight while players of the Injustice video game watched Superman defeat Shazam by freezing his mouth shut --so he couldn't say the magic word-- and promptly lobotomizing him with his heat vision.
