I'm with trickster. (Classic) Apocalypse at his most powerful was a true team wrecker. I have the Xfactor Issue where he "dies" on the moon. Apocalypse was taking point blank shots from Black Bolt + Xfactor + the rest of the inhumans combined with zero apparent damage.
He was also several stories tall at this point.
Apoc also has good showings vs. Ikaris and the High Evolutionary, and successfully put an angry hulk in a chokehold. The man's strength is no joke.
Speaking of which, don't forget Apocalypse has SCADS of Celestial tech just laying around to be used if need be. I'd also be willing to wager he's a good bit smarter than standard Thor.
I'd give classic apoc 6 or 7 out of ten vs. Thor, current one dies horribly though.

Can I ask you a favor? Can you direct me to a site that has that issue? Or can you scan that issue into the Apoc respect thread?
The only reason I haven't given Apoc 6-7 wins over Thor is ENTIRELY due to the deus ex machina nature of THAT GOD DAMN HAMMER. Mjolnir is a plot device and a super deus ex machina. That, and I don't know how celestial tech or Apoc himself stand up to magic.
Thanks for the props dude.

Well he would have to aim for his ass because he now has no head! always liked the Thor and Herc dynamic though, Thor is the sensible one in that relationship, where as Herc just wants to drink and punch people.

So Celestial tech>Asgardian magic? interesting. In that case, definitely favor Apoc in this match. I was wondering when you'd show up. You wouldn't happen to have the issue in question, would you?
Priest: Screw you.
Sym: DO IT! DO IT! DO IT!

sorry, I had to actually go looking for the issue- took a while because it's pretty well worn and the cover's no longer on it.
I don't have a scanner but it's X-factor #68, 1991. looking through it again it seems like Scott is using his power + jean's + nathan's to take apocalypse out...so the loss might not be as bad I as remembered. Baby nathan was being made out to be stronger than Jean was at that point...
