Either of them can give Thor trouble. Mags has owned him at least one time. Apocalypse is even more powerful. Thor by himself IMO can get a 6-7/10 against either individually, but together? He doesn't stand a chance. Team 10/10.

They're fighting in character. Thor isn't decapitating Magneto here. Magneto can also control Thor's hammer to some extent.

He doesn't stand a chance. Team 10/10. Not really. Magneto can only give Thor trouble with CIS and PIS. Thor when operating at full capacity would probably just throw his hammer at Mag's head at 3 times light speed before Mags could react. Apoc maybe can react that fast, I'm not sure I've seen him face anything that fast. He would be KO'd if he couldn't.

Team on a normal day. Thor would have to get serious etc.

Of course knowing Apocalypse...

Magneto had a burst of anger due to the Avenger's comments or something similar and he sent Mjolnir and all the other metal items around him flying. Not exactly an owning as you described it.

it does show that, to some extent, he can control the metal in Thor's hammer

Rage.Of.Olympus
Show what? Magneto owning Thor (I don't recall that happening at all.) or are you confirming what I said?

Apparently so. Either way, I highly doubt Magnus can do anything to Mjolnir if Thor is actively trying to control it.

Thor can only throw the hammer at light speed after spending much time whirling it. This is fact.

Mags has shown light speed reflexes when it comes to things he can control.

Mags can control the hammer. This is fact.

Mshinu
Mags has controlled Mjolnir time and time again since the first time he met Thor. Thor can counter by absorbing energy and whatnot if he is holding it ofc, but he is often caught unaware by such tactics.

Yea, Magneto has always been able to control Mjolnir to some extent. You better believe that's happening in some manner here. Of course, I firmly believe if Thor wills it, Magneto ain't doing shit to Mjolnir.

He isn't over powering it's enchantment.

D_Dude1210
Thor 7/10.

basilisk
Mjolnir can also be used to absorb & control magnetism, and in the past Thor has used it to absorb Magneto's shields and send him running.

But with Magneto bothering him while he's fighting Apoc it's going to be a tough fight, and Thor will need to step it up more than he usually does and really start cutting loose if he wants to win.

Rage.Of.Olympus
I still say team wins if Apocalypse is semi competent but you better believe it would be difficult.

The problem with Thor is he fluctuates. He cuts loose, he jumps in terms of formidable ability etc. He could annihilate this team.

The other two scenes where they've done anything similar to battle was the scene posted where Magneto throws Thor and the other Avengers back in a burst of rage, and when he creates a force field that stops a blow from Thor and She-Hulk. That's all I recall.

Hardly evidence that a battle between the two would be any different than their original one.

Rage.Of.Olympus
I hope Thor doesn't job.

What worries me is that Bendis rarely ever has a middle ground with high powered characters.

Either they do all the work or are extremely useless as seen with Sentry and Doctor Strange. He found some sort of balance with Strange. Of course he had reduced Strange to a B level Mage who could only cast illusions. To be fair, he had Strange on the New Avengers and they operated on a street level scale.

I'm a bit optimistic as this team has some mid tier characters like Iron Man and the Protector (What an abysmal name.). That means bigger threats, and more chances to show off power.

It's definitely better for villains when Bendis works with a more high powered team. When he has them job, at least it doesn't look as bad. When he has lower powered teams, shit like Nefaria happens. It just doesn't seem right.

Why do you think it is non-canon in the first place? Was it said that it happens in an alt-reality by the writers? Or do you assume so, because the story picks up right after the Louise Simonson' last regular appearance/story on X-Factor?

Given Apoc's (albeit futuristic version) rather easy handling of Thor in the latest Avengers issue, I'd say this fight is pretty one-sided.

Unfortunately he fights like a brick most of the time and I highly doubt he'd use that tactic. I just like showing off Mjolnir's capabilities.

i have to disagree, i think thor defeats mags 10 out of 10, and apoc get a few wins thinking thor 8/10, but as a team they beat him around 7 out of 10.

Uriel005
Magneto needs to keep out of CQC with Thor. However that is rather difficult when you consider how fast Mjolnir pulls Thor along behind him. He could avoid the lightning and such by putting up a big lightning rod negating Thor's long range stuff.

Magneto's biggest problem comes from the need for the environment to be just right. He would probably need to get something on the level of adamantium or vibranium to really hurt Thor and keep him down but because this is Marvel NY there is probably some amount of it somewhere.

I'd say the fight is a 6/10 in Magneto's favor just because he can probably keep out of range long enough to mount enough of an offensive that Thor wouldn't have the time to get close enough to crush his skull. However if Thor ever gets within striking distance I'm calling a Magneto KO because he really doesn't have the close combat ability nor the durability to stand up to Thor in a physical fight.

Uriel005
Originally posted by chomperx9

Oh and as a side note I'm not sure whether or not Magneto could absorb Thor's lightning because it has magical properties rather than the EM field of the earth.

Mshinu

Yup. Not too much of a fight between them, but at least Apoc shook off Thor`s best hammer charge with no ill effects like he should. Poccy is durable enough to ignore pretty much any physical attack and with his shields, morphing and regeneration is nigh impossible to put down that way.

Both Apoc and Mags would give Thor a hell of a fight one on one. Don`t forget that Mags have received upgrades since their other fights too (we are not talking current 1/3 powered Mags I persume)
Team whups him, he needs a plot device to pull wins here.

Thor has hit so hard his hammer dazed juggernaut even with his full shield on and he was being amped by other magical energies. He has one shotted silver surfer and caused extreme pain to galactus. Magneto cannot hold up to a blow where Thor is actually trying to hurt him. The fact that he is fighting to opponents would also make him want to even the odds quicker.

He wouldn't be oneshotted by Thor, and to add to this, Thor would have to hold out against Apocalyse too! Not happening. These are two major hitters. One can hold Thor in an steel prison reinforced by magnetic force, and the other can curb his butt with future tech. Thor would lose.

Team Wins.

TheLordofMurder
Depends on how bad Thor wants to win...

Against normal Thor; the Thor that pulls his punches...the Thor that just doesnt use his full arsenal of powers...that Thor loses here more often than not.

Against a bloodlusted Thor or a Thor that feels he has to defeat these guys at any cost, he literally kills Magneto (Thor can accomplish this several different ways and Magneto has no defense against any of them) and beats Apoc unconscious (and can kill him too if he is hell bent on doing so)...

Mshinu
Please not the holding back argument. I expect it from supes and spidey fanboys but not Thor. A serious Thor does not get new powers any more than Magneto or Apocalypse does.

These guys have formidable defenses, he is not "literally killing" and beating them unconcious easily, by a long shot. In fact, "mere" physical force is probably the worst way to go against these guys. What did Thor`s hammer charge into Apoc do the last time? Oh, that`s right. Nothing!

The holding back argument is very valid as pertains to Thor because the fact of the matter is Thor doesnt go around trying to kill every opponent he engages...nor does he let lose with everything he's got against most opponents...

As for killing Magneto, you have got to be dreaming if he think Thor cant kill him with attacks that'll bypass Magneto's defenses...

Does Magneto have defenses against spiritual attack? Nope...soul suck and Magneto is dead...permanently.

Do you really think Magneto's force field will keep out a God Blast? Nope...it'll go straight through that force field and kill him...period.

If Thor uses his hammer to absorb Magneto's magnetism and then unleases the anti-force on Magneto (think about what he did to the Thanos clone) what do you think will happen!? Will Magneto live? Hell no...he dies...period.

As for Apoc, I truly believe a prolonged physical beating will be enough to KO him...and from there he could kill him at any time...

Those uber-attacks requires some concentration, Mags can easily go invisible and create a holographic double, teleport trough a wormhole, or rip the hammer away. Even toss him around like a ragdoll like he has done to both Thor and Herc in the past. He certainly has way to deal with Odinsson and his tricks.

A prolonged beating on Apoc, a teleporter? Even if that went down, Poccy`s durability/malleability and shielding would let him take far less damage than he would deal out himself.

Together they whup his ass, only by getting careless would they loose (oh I think I will monologue for a while).

The fact that thor is a god, as in an alien from another dimension, and magneto is a mutant native of earth means nothing. There are mutants who could solo thor's entire bloodline with a single thought. lol at the galactus reference and yes, magneto would absorb his ligthning just fine, he'd be better off resorting to other types of attacks such as soulsuck.

Regardless, CIS is on by default and thor loses here.

Anyone know who is the most powerful telepath Thor has resisted? I recall reading somewhere that Moondragon mindraped him once.

Rage.Of.Olympus
That depends on what you mean by mind rape. Moondragon has been able to influence and control Thor to an extent -he ended up resisting it- but I don't think she has outright mind raped him.

One thing I'm pretty certain of is this, Apocalypse ain't beating Thor through telepathy.

Probably Moondragon with the Mind Gem. Thor had some amazing feats of will power in Blood and Thunder. He also outperformed in terms of mental defenses when the Stranger attacked the Avengers with a mind storm or something similar.

What stops Magneto from driving shards of metal through Thor's body if we're going to go with a no holds barred battle?

I was also under the impression that Thor had to invoke the soul suck which takes precious time, that he would not have if dealing with Magneto and Apocalypse.

What is this DBZ? Well if that's the case neither of these guys would just stand idly by and say " Uhm gorsh, I guess we should stand here and, uhm let Thor cast our souls into oblivion".

Thor zaps his opponent. He draws out their soul. That's the extent of it. It would pretty damn easy to get himself all the time he wants. A simple vortex to protect himself or make him intangible/invisible along with intended target.

CBR style debating is silly like that.

Uru Ore.: Just the word ore is indicative that it has mettalic properties. It was forged, therefore it had to be melted down. When was the last time that you ever heard a weapon smith forging dirt into a weapon with no mettalic properties? It wouldn't be possible because, there would be no cohesive properties without an alloy to bind the molecules together. In other words Mjolnir would fall apart.

Thor zaps his opponent. He draws out their soul. That's the extent of it. It would pretty damn easy to get himself all the time he wants. A simple vortex to protect himself or make him intangible/invisible along with intended target.

CBR style debating is silly like that.

Are you saying that Thor's body can not be punctured? Then why did the Crusader drive a sword through him to the hilt? Why doesn't he just stand there and allow Bloodaxe to swing his axe hitting him directly?

When did I say that? Thor's body is resistant to being pierced. To the point I highly doubt Magneto tossing metal at him would do anything.

In the Crusader fight Thor's powers were fluctuating due to the fact that the sudden appearances of worshipers had caused him doubt himself. It was a battle of faith and Thor's lack of faith caused him to lose the first encounter. There was a reason why everybody was shocked that Thor was bleeding -including Thor himself who blamed it on some unknown wizardry- and even his strength seemed to be failing him.

This is actually the scene that most suggests Thor has a dynamic power level regulated by his mind.

So you want examples of the Blood axe eh?

Hold on a second, are you saying that if Thor stood in one spot and allowed Bloodaxe to come down with his axe on Thor's head that Thor would sustain no damage? I don't think so. Thor would die.

Magneto has held up an entire asteroid with his powers, and you don't believe that he would be able to pierce Thor's flesh? Come on now! Plus he would have the aid of Apocalypse! Thor is a badass but not that badass.

Did you not see the scans I posted? What happened in those scans? Did Thor die?

Not impressed. Could he? Possibly. Will he? I doubt it. Will it do anything significant? I highly doubt it.

Once again, not impressed. A going all out Thor has taken a line up and faced foes more impressive than this.

I saw the scans, and also saw that Bloodaxe did not use his axe, but instead used his fists to punish Masterson Thor.

Thor has on many occasions been lacerated, by objects of lesser damage yield than what Magneto can muster. What about Apocalypse's presence on the battlefield?

I'm not going to debate power for power with you or claim that either of these guys are stronger than Thor. What I will stress however is that this team has the powerset to not only defeat Thor, but to also bring him under thrall.

Power and strength isn't everything, after all steel cuts water, but in the end it is the water that destroys the steel, young grasshopper. smile

Then I think you should look over those scans one more time. Do it carefully. If you still don't get it, maybe I'll be kind enough to explain what's actually on the page right infront of you.

Many occasions eh? How about you name a few instances? What about it?

That's smart of you. What I will stress is that Thor's power set is more than sufficient to defeat these two and put them under his thrall. These two aren't beating Thor if he gets serious and goes all out. However they should be capable of beating a regular Thor.

Apocalypse has neural nodes that can penetrate Thor's nervous system, and make him his pet. Magneto has the power to subdue Thor for the time needed for Apocalypse to use his more exotic powers. Thor would neither have the time or speed to stop both of their assaults. This is why they would win a majority if we are going by the character of all opponents involved in this battle.

So I take it you've actually taken the time to look over the scans carefully and understood them? Shocking.

Please post scans of his neutral nodes penetrating someone of Thor's level.

Magneto can only subdue Thor if Thor allows him to. The team can only defeat Thor if he allows them to. If Thor wants to win, he will. Unfortunately he limits himself to a great extent. It's as simple as that.

Oh, so we're going by their actual character and not what their capable of now are we? Because if we go by the latter, they won't even be able to harm a hair on Thor's head or touch him based on Mjolnir's defensive capabilities.

Like I said, the team wins. On average. At least I hope they can. I'm assuming this isn't current depowered Magneto.

I'm assuming your looking for raw strength feats on a large scale. I think scenes where he stalemates Kurse or breaks through Celestial armor when the Odin Destroyer could not are more impressive than the Serpent feat personally.

Where in that particular issue did you see Apocalypse easily handling Thor? Granted, we might have different definitions.

Philosophía
Magneto separates Thor from his hammer, traps it in a forcefield, prevents Thor from getting to that force-field, and has Apocalypse ass-rape him, Deliverance style.

TheLordofMurder
Magneto's force field isnt overpowering the enchantment on Mjolnir that causes it to always return to Thors hand; if a f**king Elder God (Set to be exact) couldnt keep Mjolnir from returning to Thors hand, then no way in hell is Magneto going to do it...

In addition, he talked down to and showed no fear against the God of Thunder.

How do you know it was Apocalypse and said attack did not damage Thor at all? How do you know how that single blast affected him?

That wasn't an assault. Thor flew out of the building and kept on flying until he struck Apocalypse. He didn't take it with a smile on his face either.

Here's their entire interaction:

That was not Apocalypse easily handling Thor. I just noticed that Apocalypse seems to be protected by some type of energy. And don't forget about the Horseman assisting him.

So what? That's a laughably silly argument. If Thor talks down and shows no fear to Celestials, where does that place him in the hierarchy of power using your logic?

Nice scans...though you conveniently forgot to post the first couple of pages of that issue...where Thor was sent flying and crashing into the building across the street.

Unless Thor decided to go for a little stroll while Avengers HQ was under attack, it's safe to say he was thrown out with authority. It's also safe to say that it was Apocalypse that threw him out.

Thor's two-handed flying assault did nothing but push Apocalypse back a few inches. Nothing else he did had any affect on Apoc.

Not saying there was a clear-cut winner, but Apoc had an easier time against Thor than Thor did against Apoc.

I didn't post the above scan as it has absolutely no relevance. For all we know, Apocalypse and one of his horseman sent Thor flying with a surprise attack (Which actually seems likely if you consider the last two pages of the previous issue had them teleporting into the presence of surprised Avengers.)

How do you know? You didn't see his reaction afterwards. He certainly didn't take that attack with a smile. This is typical Bendis fight choreography. A bunch of random brawls happening mostly off panel. He jewed us out on another potentially great match up.

I don't see how you can actually come to that conclusion. The two spent the time mostly off panel.

Jewed them out?Whats that supposed to mean?

Rage.Of.Olympus
"Jewed us out". What do you think that's supposed to mean? I'm pretty sure Bendis is Jewish. I recall him making light of the fact that he was Jewish and should be the last person writing a Nazi worshiped God who worked with Hitler once or something similar.

Ok you're reaching there. Not everything has to be thoroughly explained to draw a conclusion. Occam's Razor. Obviously Apoc was the biggest baddie of the group, and Thor the biggest hero. Who do you think Thor was gunning for when he flew back into Avengers tower? It's obvious Apocalypse threw him out.

He certainly didn't seem fazed by it, either.

"Jewed" us out? Interesting choice of words.

I come to the conclusion because nothing Thor did to Apocalypse had any effect on him whatsoever.

You're free to believe whatever you want, of course.

No, I'm really not. Seeing as how Apocalypse and his crew were transported into the middle of Avengers tower and apparently started attacking like caged animals or something similar. Let's also not forget that we saw his horseman helping Apocalypse against Thor. My explaniation is just as likely as yours.

It doesn't, but some scenes are simply to vague to come to a single conclusion.

Oh, at this point I think Apocalypse was involved in one way or another with throwing Thor out, but he could have had the help of a horseman as well as surprise on his side.

And nothing Apocalypse or his horseman did to Thor had any effect outside of throwing him a few feet out of the tower. Neither were damaged whatsoever but Thor didn't have the benefit of an energy field apparently.

The same right extends to you.
