In a matter of seconds, Thor absorbs all the energy of a Null Bomb(capable of destroying an entire galaxy) through its casing and reignites a dead sun with it: (please log in to view the image)
Thor uses “Pure Lightning: I’ll quote the source of the scan for a description of this power-
“This power is called "Pure Lightning" and it has the power to create a Chain reaction which can reach the destructive power of many Megatons (a Megaton is equal to a Million Metric Ton of TNT).” (please log in to view the image)
Great feats, hit and run. Thor is very all-rounded. He is an excellant combatant blessed with his range attacks from his hammer. I know a few members showed some speed feats of Thor. But how fast is Thor? Speed of Light?

travel speeds can exceed light. he usually just teleports or dimsension travels though. actual combat speeds are a little trickier to gauge. he's had trouble hitting ss, mongoose, spidey and quicksilver in the past, but has shown tremendous speeds as well at various times -- ie in hel, and in battle with adam warlock. pretty inconsistent.
Thor doesn't really need to travel at light speed. He has his hammer just transport him places. Also, he's more of a powerhouse than someone who needs to have super-speed.
It would just seem wierd for Thor, a god of thunder to have super speed. I have a theory about characters and their abilities, sort of how they feel in their lives reflect how they feel about things. Here's an example: Superman feels like he has to be everywhere and do everything for everyone, so he's given a plethora of powers, but he still comes up short. I dunno. Just my theory.
Thor can achieve great speeds during flight, but I would concede he's not a speedster. He seems to get where he needs to go in good enough time; and of course he can teleport between dimensions with mjolnir. That's why his bio stats for speed are so high. But, not as fast in the air as Superman, for the most part.

It happens in Thor volume 2. By issue #41, Odin is gone, and Thor begins the process by which he eventually accepts being elevated to King, and possesses the Odinpower. In the climatic issues of volume 2, ( issues 84 & 85) he gets the wisdom of the runes and becomes the uber-scary powerful Rune King Thor, to undo the cycle of Ragnarok.
