Wakanda vs Atlantis, Which is the Strongest Nation?

Wakanda vs Atlantis, Which is the Strongest Nation?

Wakanda vs Atlantis, Which is the Strongest Nation? There are less than two days left for the latest MCU film, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, for Indonesian fans to see starting on November 9 tomorrow. The film itself will tell the story of the conflict between Wakanda and Atlantis. The same thing has actually happened in the long history of Marvel Comics. Where the richest nation in Africa and also the strongest nation under the sea have ever attacked each other. One thing fans often ask is who is stronger? Before seeing the film later, let's first discuss what the facts are like in the comics, geeks!

Population Physical Strength

Wakanda is a large nation on the African continent, famous for having a long history in the Marvel Universe. Debuted in Fantastic Four #52 (1966), Wakanda is said to have existed since prehistoric times. Where they all started from the Panther tribe led by Mosi, the first Black Panther to exist 1 million years ago. Although their presence has been very long, but basically the people of Wakanda are ordinary people, whose average strength and speed of each individual is not much different from humans in general.

On the other hand, the Alantis, who was first described in Marvel Comics #1 (1939) is a nation that has been living in the deep sea since the Great Cataclysm sunk their kingdom about 20 thousand years ago. During that time the inhabitants of Atlantis had evolved into Homo mermanus which could move in the water. In other words, the physical strength of the inhabitants of Atlantis was definitely superior to ordinary humans. Even though they have to use a breathing apparatus, we can imagine how free they are when they are on land where there is no water pressure.

Total Population and Important Figures

Because the Wakandans are basically human breeds, like humans around the world, they are noted to have a very large population. Marvel once stated that there are at least 6 million people living in Wakanda, regardless of whether they were born there or are refugees from the surrounding countries. With this number, in it there are Dora Milaje special forces, spies, and also troops from other tribes. As for the strong figures from his kingdom, among them are King T'Challa aka Black Panther, Shuri, M'baku, and even Killmonger.

In contrast to Wakanda, the population of the Kingdom of Atlantis was not much. In the comic Avengers #49 (2018), Raja Namor aka Sub-Mariner once said that he had around 12 thousand Atlanteans to protect. This small number may be because Atlantis was often at war with other nations, so there was no time for them to increase their population. Even so, among the royal family itself there are quite a number of powerful and well-known figures. Besides Namor, there are also Namora, Namorita, Attuma, Aquarian Neptunia, and the giant whale monster Giganto.

Technology advances

As we know, Wakanda is one of the richest countries on Earth's surface. All of their wealth they got from the vibranium mine. In Fantastic Four #53, it was mentioned that one gram of vibranium is equivalent to 10 thousand US dollars, or about 157 million rupiah. With this amount of wealth, supported by the intelligence of its scientists including Shuri, Wakanda has succeeded in making various kinds of advanced technology. Including weapons and armor for his troops, then combat vehicles such as planes, to the Black Panther costume.

From the past until now, Atlantis really upholds primitive technology which is generally made from marine life. Although primitive, but that does not mean every weapon and their combat equipment is weak. In fact, they have breathing technology for the ground, combat vehicles that can accommodate large numbers of troops, and even sacred weapons like Neptune's Trident and Horn of Proteus that can control sea monsters. Unfortunately, on the other hand, Namor also forbids Atlantis from imitating surface nations, so their technology tends to be difficult to develop.

Which Nation is Stronger?

From the three comparisons above, regarding the physical strength, population, and technology of the nation, we can conclude that Wakanda and Atlantis have quite a striking difference. And the strongest of the two, of course, Wakanda has a population many times over and also a much more advanced technology with its vibranium. They could easily equip all of its inhabitants with vibranium technology to fight Atlantis' population of only 12,000.

Even so, it does not mean that if the two fight, Atlantis will immediately lose. Because they have a number of secret weapons, including Namor the Sub-Mariner himself. With his Trident weapon, Namor can manipulate water and lead a tsunami to Wakanda like in the Avengers vs. X-Men (2012), or he could also get Giganto to attack Wakanda like when he flattened New York in Fantastic Four #4 (1962).

That's a discussion of the most powerful nation between Wakanda and Atlantis. The answer is Wakanda because they are superior in several aspects. On the other hand, Namor and Atlantis had to rack their brains to fight a nation much bigger than them. Will the same be true in the MCU? We'll see the answer later in the film Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. So, don't miss it, guys.

THANK YOU.
