Good argument..but Thor not being able to withstand a bullet is just plain silly. The amount of pressure per square inch on ones body when reaching levels above the Earth's atmosphere would be way more than any amount of pressure a bullet would exert. A lot of these writers need to just plain "edumicate" themselves in some basic physics before writting some of these stories. Suspension of disbelief can only be taken so far...

I think that the writers meant to say that even though he can take incredible blunt(punching and etc) trauma he can't take things like bullets(piercing trauma).
Things are two complete different types of force.
However, I do agree.
Him being able to survive a punch from a class 100 fighter and not being able to take a couple 800 psi ak-47 slugs is stupid.
Hey, sometimes writers smoke weed, just look at batman's writers.
Sometimes, weed is bad.
In batman's writers' case, its' evil.
Evil I tells ya'.

Re: Re: Re: Is Thor Bulletprooff?
Not you perhaps but I posted Scans of him being hurt by bullets so..........
I rest my case as its cannon bullets hurt him.
As for the pounds per square inch thing. I suspect a blastwave from a nuke at ground zero has greater kinetic energy than a bullet.
I'm not saying its sensible but he blocks bullets with a hammer for a reason
Bullets hurt him
So sorry scoobs I guess I should have said Marvel proved it by having him hurt by bullets, and they proved it again with the tranquilizer dart in BP, my bad, I hope you can forgive me for taking the credit for Marvel's ideas
Keep the faith
Stay Whirly
Avoid getting the bullet

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Is Thor Bulletprooff?
No I don't have that scan but I've seen it on the forum and its very recent sooo...... my old scans and suspected motives aside my charming jocular jock, its still happening to Thor. I don't like it anymore than you do. Its silly as I said but he is vulnerable to bullet like projectiles.

perhaps if the bullet was made of adamantium or some other similar substance it could pierce him.... but i don't believe regular ammunition could achieve that result

problem is though scoobs it has
so what you believe is a mute point. I know its off kilter, I'm not jockeying for position over this neither am I jocking. I'm taking the highland in this discussion. If Marvel has him hurt by projectiles ergo he is not bulletproof

I've seen Thor spin Mjolnir around really fast to deflect bullets. Why would he do that? Unless bullets are annoying as hell to him, like flies are to us.
I would say he could be bullet resistant, but not like Superman - they might as well be empty air to him. But they could be a stinging annoyance, just like we would wave off a bunch of biting insects. That's why you pull the whirling hammer bit.

I think everyone agrees that Superman is more durable, but Thor "not being buttleproof" according to some when he has taken things like it has been showed here its a bit retarded.
ok, alot.

Well, Supes vision is what, 11,000 degrees at max? He still waded through it( should've used the hammer to absorb it, dammit) to get a shot in, but it wasn't easy on him.
