Re: Silver Surfer vs Thor
Originally posted by MindshipFlash IS all that.
The first time I ever saw the Surfer he virtually clobbered the Hulk. Anytime SS and Hulk have fought, SS won without breaking a sweat.On the other hand: as I understand it, whenever Hulk and Thor fought, it was usually a stalmate, or Hulk won.
I'm glad to see here that most people agree SS would trump Thor...so how the hell did Thor beat Surfer the 3 times they fought? My theories are as follows...
1). They fought the first time in SS's first mag (issue 4 was it?). SS was first empowered by Loki (after fighting Loki to a draw), then fought Thor in Asgard, and as I remember it, Thor was winning, with SS acknowledging Thor's enormous power.
First of all, keep in mind that the Surfer at this time was no where near his original power level, his power first reduced by Galactus then the sonic shark, to only a fraction of his original level. At best, Loki could only have doubled what Surfer was left with, leaving SS still far below his original level, and thus below Thor's level. Plus SS was fighting Thor on Thor's home turf.2) SS fighting Thor with warrior madness. As I understand it, warrior madness upped Thor's power tenfold. As such I legitmately give this to Thor.
3) Again, I heard there was a third fight, but never read it. Does anyone know?
My point is, Surfer (especially currently, with his powers restored) should be Thor's superior. Even Wizard thinks so (although, they also think Flash is all that).
