Planetary level TP
Planetary level matter manipulation
Time Travel (in both directions forward and backwards)
Phasing
Creating Singularities (even INSIDE other beings)
Creating Life/Evolving Life (even billions of years worth of evolution in seconds)
Raising the Dead (even Gods)

No being under skyfather is matching Surfer in terms of sheer versatility of power AND scope.

go knock yourself out. i do admit that Thor is normally stronger but Norrin can amp. I give him speed, durability, energy projection, intelligence and yes versatility. i don't think i was hard-pressed at all.

So you've got nothing. Ok, give me a bit, gonna grab some scans.

😬

I can list of a bunch of extremely exotic feats for Thor.

I do agree that Surfer has a versatility edge, or at the very least, he resorts to exotic powers more often then Thor but listing a few feats for him and declaring the winner without doing your research is not the best way to go about it.

Mjolnir is every bit of a random power generator as the Power Cosmic.

These are not one time abilities I'm listing though.

Surfer has done these things multiple times in his career. The most incredible one has to be the planetary level matter manipulation............ON THE FLY. That's almost skyfather level sh|t right there.

Sure about that?

Really? I'm pretty sure he evolved life a billion years like once when the Power Cosmic ran once. He once said he could create a singularity in someone and then opened one in Air-Walker? How many times has he demonstrated planetary level telepathy or matter manipulation? I'd really like to see multiple examples of that.

If that's your benchmark for listing versatility powers, I can do the same for Thor as I said. And I don't even have to list that many. Mjolnir's energy absorption and defenses covers practically anything Surfer can throw at him with the Power Cosmic.

What I find most amusing is that the last time they teamed up, it was Thor/Mjolnir pulling out the exotic feats.

Anyways, I think I made my point, carry on guys.

Silver surfer rapes that assss

That post...didn't seem coherent with itself. But anyway:

I'm aware of Norrin's typical lightyear's in moments type feats, he's done those plenty but Thor has his own: http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/scale_super/11113/111132409/3425615-untitled.jpg

Thor can travel fast enough to tear through dimensions as well.

About energy projection, what could Surfer possibly have that outdoes the godblast? And even without using that, Thor can bring lightning that casually knocks out high heralds like Hulk, or tears open trans tiers like Void-Force Sentry.

I wouldn't be able to speak on Surfer's intelligence, I haven't seen much of that outright in him, but if it comes to mental resistance, he's been outdone by Thor already: http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/16128471/Thor_Annual-Zone_019.jpg.html

That's after Thor's mind had already been assaulted to the point of near collapse also. Surfer was on his knees in moments.

Versatility, I can agree goes slightly to Surfer, but there isn't much Thor can't do. Reality becomes a plaything when he feels like using something other than hammer and lighting. He can literally trap his opponents in spaces between time and space, phase them into realities, sift through dimensions, transmute on a whim, etc. Surfer has some absurdly exotic feats like molecular control on a level where he can change his form to snow or something like that, but Thor also has misc innate godly abilities that are ridiculous in scope such as being able to gain will from prayer, tap into his own godly energies, yadda yadda. If we were to make a list of each ability that the character's have, and compare how many unique abilities we could come up with, it would be as close as it gets.

Point being, you can hate him, which you do, but he is what he is. In this case, he's Surfer's superior. Even if ever so slightly.

-Planetary power absorption
-Storm control on a cosmic scale
-Thor had his time travel abilities back in the day, too bad they were taken away. -pouts-
-Able to go through dimensions on a whim
-Able to phase others in between time and space
-Planetary sized portals, meaning he can wipe out worlds on a whim
-His own body is capable of absorbing limitless energy and harness it ala godbomb style
-Can enchant common objects into items of power
-He can also fracture reality through brute force, enough for an opponent to get sucked through that fracture out of our reality.

It feels like they both have the power to do things the other can't on occasion. I don't remember any instances of Thor resurrecting someone without the Odin Force off the top of my head.

Eradicator must be a skyfather then.

Thor wins 6/10. He can counter most of surfer's powers, surfer doesn't have any answer to mjolnir which has already knocked him out twice.

Tbf, most of Thor's versatility directly stems from Mjolnir, as opposed to Surfer whose abilities are part and parcel of his powerset.

But anyways, since abhi hates both these characters with equal measure, I'd say his opinion seals the deal as to who wins in this thread. :upl:

It's a shame Surfer doesn't fight with anywhere near the same kind of conviction Thor does otherwise I think he could really put a hurting on him.

Thor wins more often then not under normal circumstances.

Bill's storm breaker can counter everything Surfer throws at him, except it didn't, and he got the shit beaten out of him.

Mjolnir and all its trappings are part of his power set... Can't really separate the two.

Except he ain't Thor.

Yeah Bill is nothing like Thor at all, with his enchanted hammer, command of storms, and thor-like costume and strength.

The're not the same, though.

They're extremely similar in power set is what I'm saying. They both have hammers that can technically counter everything Surfer throws at them. But guess what? Bill's hammer didn't stop him from getting beat to a bloody pulp.
