I've been researching this online and I can't find a definitive answer anywhere: how strong is Aquaman? I've seen some sources saying he's almost bulletproof, some saying he can lift buildings, and some saying he's strong enough to tangle with Superman.

I've seen some sources saying he's almost bulletproof, some saying he can lift buildings, and some saying he's strong enough to tangle with Superman. His strength has fluctuated over the years. Here are some of his new 52 feats: Easily tosses an armored car overhead with his trident: A flurry of bullets does minimal damage: He's also assisted an ocean liner by partially lfiting it, I can't think of the issue but will post that when I remember.

Not really into the characters that he is usually around. However I do like him. What I know of him... When fighting against Cassandra Cain he used a sacred martial arts move ( which she used, he asked who taught her and her reply was him, just now.). He tried to attack Wally West by attacking as his shadow, but Wally out ran it. Everyone else in the JL were having trouble with him.

I've been researching this online and I can't find a definitive answer anywhere: how strong is Aquaman? I've seen some sources saying he's almost bulletproof, some saying he can lift buildings, and some saying he's strong enough to tangle with Superman. He's not in Superman's league but he is class 100. IIRC I think Creator calculated his best feat at around 300 tonnes Some pre flashpoint feats ( because honestly so fat his New 52 one are wanting) 1. Holding up a 12 story building while it was evacuated. 2. Lifting an under water city block 3. lifting and or tipping Oil Rigs, tankers. 4. Tugging Ships to shore 5. Punching Superboy through the air for miles 6. punching a hoel in a nuclear submarine with a crush depth of over 200 atmospheres 7. Punching Martian manhunter and sending him flying ( at least he felt it As for Durability you have to remember his body can withstand the deepest depths of the ocean well beyond what the most durable sub can. he has 1. Taken a blow from Wonder Woman that put him through three walls across Atlantis and just got up 2. withstood point blank explosions ( no one was more surprised than him) 3. Tanked many energy blasts 4. withstood small arms fire ( generally it makes him bleed but more like a nick or scratch)

More new 52 feats against Wonder woman. Here he sends Diana flying with a punch. She recovers here with a punch of her own and he takes it with minimal damage.

Doesn't seem like he sent her flying with a punch. It seems to me that he bullrushed her and managed to push her into port. And she doesn't seem phased by his strangulation either.
However, her punch has him bleeding.

Has she found the need to drop the bracelets since the first time she has done it?

I haven't seen her remove them again and I am up to issue #16 in her series.

Good. I like that it is something that only sees action once in a while.

Teach me about New 52 WW. Alright, I am going from memory here. -New 52 Diana does not have the clay origin like her pre-FP counterpart. She is actually the daughter of Hippolyta and Zeus. -Diana came to man's world when she was 18 years old. -She is currently a member of the Justice League and joined during Darkseid's invasion. -She is currently the protector of Zola, a mortal girl who also fathered one of Zeus' children. The child was recently kidnapped by Hermes and hasn't been recovered. -Diana also has several half brothers and half sisters who are also demigod children of Zeus. These include Lennox, Sirocca and Milan. -Diana's bracelets act as a governor of sorts for her powers and strength levels. Case in point, with them she lost pretty easily to her fellow goddess Diana. Without them she trashed her with relative ease.

And the Amazons have been taken from the chosen people of the gods who are far more advanced in the art of war, philosophy, art, and poetry and reduced them into a rabble of murdering-rapist, pirates that dress like cavemen.
So they are now the Bana-Mighdal without class or tech.

I love that Diana is now a demigod, I am indifferent to Hippolyta being blonde now, and I can deal with the funky new look for the gods.
What I cannot cope with is how the new Themyscira Amazons are now a bunch of dirty, raping barbarians.

Maybe the purple death ray is now the purple rape ray?
