In the comics they were not holding back. Maybe you like to think they were but none of the gems had a meaningful effect on Thor. Ever wonder why Warlock didnt bother using his gem again?
I mean think about it why dont they just go all out and kill Thor, they got power at there disposal to certainly do that.
This is the key to your misconception. If you start off with this incorrect assumption then whatever the comics say will make no sense and the only option is to "interpret" when in fact there is nothing to interpret and it's clear as night and day that try as they might they could not even restrain him let alone ko him or kill him. It was like a grown up beatin up on kids.
When SS and Madness Thor first meet and fought, Warlock came to rescue SS, Warlock mentioned that SS was not in real danger because of no physical injuries. Ill give you the issue # maybe tommorrow or next day.
He was no longer in any danger because the fight (cant really be called a fight when one is KOd already) was interupted before, as surfer said, Thor crushed the surfer's skull with his hammer. Thor again brutalized the Surfer and again Warlock rescued him before Thor crushed his skull.
Both times the Surfer woke up from being easily KO'd he was surprised to still be alive. If you don't listen to me, listen to the Surfer. He certainly knew the second time around that he could easily end up dead but try as he might he wasn't able to come close to KOing thor. Are you seriously saying that although the Surfer does not have the power to drop thor to his knees that he has the power to kill him and that he would hold back to such an extent even when 1) he says he is no longer holding back and 2) he is fighting for his own life? And if Surfer is as powerful as you say, then why did he need to team up with Warlock for something you claim he should have had no problem handling by himself? Not that teaming up with Warlock made the least bit of difference as they both were lucky to escape alive.
Again they were all holding back, diff. story if everyone was in for blood.
Do you think Maxam and Drax were holding back when they double teamed Thor and struck him at the same time? If they were holding back then why didnt Drax simply not hold back and take Thor himself? Why did they feel the need to double team him, not that it made the least bit of difference as they both got KO'd in rapid succession. Drax has probably never been struck as hard. The power gem was literally knocked out of his body.
