You are tasked with building a team to defend the earth from an unknown threat. You can pick 7 characters from the Avengers and DCnU JLA. You must have at least one character from each team. Here are your choices:
Superman
Zatanna
Hal Jordan
Wonder Woman
Flash
Cyborg
Batman
Green Arrow
Aquaman
Thor
Current Hulk
Current Red Hulk
Captain America
Iron man
Hawkeye
Wolverine
Sersi
Out of the ones you listed here are my picks and reasons:
[Leader] Iron Man - Technology + Intelligence
Hal Jordan - Energy Manipulation + Versatility + Power Output
Thor - Tank + Magic + Power Output
Superman - Tank + Speed + Power Output
Zatanna - Magic
Sersi - Versatility
Flash - Speed
I'd pick the following members, because they've proven time and time again to be the best at what they do.
1. Superman = Strength (Second to know one, not even Thor)
2. Zatanna = Mystic (Can link the minds of the members ala Martian)
3. Flash = Speed (Can lend speed to all the members)
4. Iron man = Tech Expert/Intelligence
5. Sersi = Versatility
6. Hal Jordan = Enery Manipulation
7. Wonder Woman = Extra muscle, Thor's superior.
Haven't read anything where Thor has impressed me. One of his best feats of the top of my head is carrying Asgard along with BRB (Invasion). Both the Martian and Diana have better lifting feats. They helped pulled the Earth from the sun's gravitational pull.
If you think that Thor carrying Asgard with Bill's help ranks in even the top 20 best Thor feats of all time, then yes, you really haven't read a lot of Thor.
I'm not an avid Thor fan, the only Marvel characters I really care about are the X-men, Carol Denvers and Silver Surfer. Can you recommend good stories where Thor has impressive feats. I'm going to need them so I can prove why Diana, Supes, Billy and Black Adam are his superior.
As far as Thor, I have some issues here and there, but haven't been impressive by him.
If you just want feats, I'd read Matt Fraction's Thor. Thor's basically a crazed maniac half the time, but he does some overly ridiculous crap in his ongoing such as stalemating Silver Surfer while injured, crashing through Galactus' head, killing the Demogorge, killing Surtur with the shadow of his own sword, etc. Fraction also had Thor essentially one shot kill an amped Thing and then one shot BFR Hulk out of orbit while not at full health or stamina in the event "Fear Itself".
If you want feats and good stories, I'd recommend Walt Simonson's run on Thor, Dan Jurgens' Thor, and JMS' Thor.
But, yeah, if you haven't really read a lot of Thor and only have a few issues of his like you said, then you really don't have much of an idea of what he's done or what he's capable of.
this is one fight i'd like to see more than any other fight in comics. each with their standard gear fighting smart would be epic with Thor maybe edging Diana 6/10.
1) The GODD@MN BATMAN!!!: Batman has that Prep God thing going...Cap does not; Batman for the win.
2) Thor: Most powerful character here...
3) Superman: Is very powerful and has extremely powerful Writer Armor...
4) Hal Jordan: Very powerful and has great versatility...jack of all trades character.
5) Sersi (gotta have a nice looking woman on the team): better durability than Zatanna and has matter/energy manipulation as well...
6) Current Hulk: Love the brutality and the madder/stronger/heals faster thing he's got going...
7) Wolverine (he's beating out Wonder Woman): Can tank and recover from almost anything...he is also willing to kill.
