Posted by sepia on 9/27/2005, 1:29 pm, in reply to "Continued From Below Fire vs Water" The lightning affects him only for a very, very short period of time and also his ability of charging electricity may prevent him from damages. Heat over a longer period of time affects his whole organism because – born and living in the cold antarctic waters – it's the opposite of the Sub-Mariner's nature. So – will fire affect his body? When Namor is fighting Toro in Sub-Mariner # 14 an unexpected fireburst weakens him so much, that he lose his ability to fly. But even without his full power he manages to burst through Toro's burning barrier without being burned.

My answer is more comic book logic than scientific:
He won't get burned but the heat will weaken him.
