They made them more realistic. Instead of the ridiculously powerful alter-egos. They're much more easy to relate to.
He MAY be the god of thunder. My theory is that the spirit of the true god of thunder lies within the belt. The scientists may have accidently found a portal or something to Asgard. The belt channels some of Thor's power into the earthbound mortal who calls himself Thor. Which may explain why taking it off may render him powerless. Similar to the Golden Age Thor where if he let go of the hammer he would be turned into a mortal.
The only power chart I have seen is "The Ultimate power chart" in the Feb. issue of Wizard it has:
8)Captain Marvel: 950 lbs.
7)Spidey: 2 tons (but he's still growing)
6)Cap: 2 tons ...wow
5)Iron Man: 10 tons
4)Thor: 13 tons
3)Colossus: 14 tons
2)Thing: 16.5 tons
1)Hulk: 17 tons (but I bet he can get stronger)
The only two things that bothered me were Cap being overpowered and Thor being underpowered--until I read this months Ultimates.
The Ultimate U sluggers have been nerfed tho...
