Seriously, don't make me get the belt!
Anybody who places any of the B list Supermen (especially Gladiator) above Classic Thor, simply needs to do some searches and look at some panels that u probably never knew existed.
Warning: u will probably need a bucket for your bitter tears as u see Gladiator get treated like a little "funny-boy" by both Eric Masterson Thor and Classic Thor. As bith face off against Gladiator it is painfully clear that they only begin taking Gladiator seriously about 3/4 of the way through the fight, where both decide to stop playing and Gladiator is about to get the "confidence" kicked out of his anus by a norse god.

Jane Thor matched Odinson in strength during their fight but when she faced Gladiator, she commented on his strength and afterwards got choked to sleep with one arm.
Gladiator didn't put her in a choke hold, where technique matters. He put her to sleep by squeezing with one outstretched arm, while she was trying to break free. That's superior strength.
You have no idea what you're talking about.

It's comics. Simply lifting another person with one hand like that isn't easy. What I'm getting at is they are peers, they have been shown to be on multiple occasions, with Thor usually winning actually. To say Glads massively outclasses Thor in strength is wrong based off both feats and they're previous encounters.
I can totally understand that reasoning, but I wouldn't say it's definitive. Being suddenly suffocated/choked when you're not expecting it causes you to panic. That's why you can kill someone by suprising them with a plasic bag over their head. They focus on trying to pull the bag away from their neck rather than tear a hole in the bag where their mouth is. Janes not a seasoned warrior and when Glads locked on she was trying to pull his hand away by the wrist while she was flailing in the air, had no leverage, while the blood to her brain was being cut off. I'm not saying that she or the real Thor are definitely as strong/stronger than Glads, but IMO that scan isn't unarguable proof that he's stronger either.

Lmao
People trying way to hard to discredit a comic showing
Next people are going to start arguing that x character wasn't portraying the correct breathing technique when trying to punch hence why it was so ineffective
Basically what I had in my head but couldn't figure out how to word it.
I'm comfortable with saying a Super ripoff is stronger than Jane Thor, but to say he is stronger than Thor Odinson ( who this thread is about) by a massive amount is bullshit based off both feats and their past encounters. Y'all are going off one showing as opposed to many. Irrefutable.
It's definitely a sign from the writer that he's stronger. This is from an "writer's intentions" argument.
But based off the physics of it, it can only be proved that he is at least a little bit stronger.
So you both have a point. He's stronger, but it's not necessarily by a lot.
