Thor vs Dr. Octopus' Arms?

Well?

Are we dealing with solely Thor's all-powerful hammer, or is Thor weilding this weapon of destruction whilst facing off head-to-arm in this duel?

His post-crisis, pre-Zero Hour hammer, and nothing else.

Without someone to control either, I find this battle all-in-all to be a moot subject. Although, Doc Oc's arms can operate based off their own free-will (Based off what I gathered from viewing the movie, that is), this goes hands-down (pun intended) to Otto Octavius.

His post-crisis, pre-Zero Hour hammer, and nothing else.

Huh? Isn't Thor a Marvel character?

Are you forgetting issue #354 of Journey Into Mystery, in which Thor's hammer was inhabited by the spirit of Angrboda, Mother of All Monsters, giving its own form of free will?

We've already established the outcome of this battle, so speaking about it further is utterly pointless.

Thanks to the events of JLA/Avengers, the Avengers are now officially post-crisis, but pre-Zero Hour. The convergence of the soul gems crossed with the Orb of Ra caused the Avengers, and only the Avengers to subconciously retain the effects of their meeting with DC's foremost heroes.

Speculation abounds that they will be appearing again in Kurt Busiek's JLA run.

But the result lies in doubt, for Thor's hammer acts with a will of its own, as do Otto Octavius' arms.

I cannot truly debate that as of yet, seeing as a Thor movie is yet to be produced.

This is true, though I hear that Dave Chappelle will be cast in the titular role.

I've already heard good things about Jack Black as the Green Lantern.

This is true. He will bring honour and glory to the name that DC comics has so long besmirched since its graceless dismissal of Hal Jordan as Green Lantern.

The arms are not independent entities, the movie took a great deal of creative license in that aspect. Besides, the title of this match-up just says 'Thor vs. Dr. Octopus' arms' rather than Thor's hammer, thus Thor would absolutely destroy the arms, with or without Octavius' fat ass involved in the fight or not.

Please tell me you're joking about Jack Black being Green Lantern. I swear to god he is the unfunniest 'comedian' since....well, the last unfunny comedian.

Thor wins, sure, but if he's not being careful, he can expect a huge ass beating, just like Dock Ock did with professor Hulk once.

But still, he wins. When written right, Dock Ock is no match for the son of Odin.

Yeah but a couple of things happened there: Ock had adamantium arms, Professor Hulk was a wuss compared to normal Hulk, and he was being a smart-ass instead of trying to actually fight. He was more sarcastic than Spidey, outshining him in his own mag!

Ocks arms would whip Thor's ass!!!

Are you high? 🤨

I just picture Thor's hammer sitting there. Doc Oct's arms hanging limp on a coat rack. And an entire arena going nuts. But neither moving.

Lol, and the referee is one of the WWE refs who circles the ring with a look of tension on his face as he watches the fight. Then the crowd gets bored, starts a riot, and the ring attendants come to collect the challengers, but nobody can pick the damn hammer up!
