"I dont know about him being bullet proof or not but I know for a fact he is not "heat vision" proof"
"The point I was making was that it indeed hurt him.
Look at the smoke rolling off his motionless body"
Nah. The point you wer trying to make was, that he couldnt take it. Hence the why "not being heat vision proof" When it wasent that, that got him ko in the first place.

And you are right it wasnt the heat vision that knocked him out it was a fist.
Good point. 😉
I just thought of something...technically..Supes really isn't bullet proof either..at least not now a days. The forcefield that extends from his body at all times can be weakened, and its quite possible for him to be hurt during these times. A bullet could take him down just as quickly as any normal human.
<<i guess your proof scans must have been before yet another Marvel upgrade.... making them... and your argument..... obsolete>>
actually, the sniper ko's his ass with a bullet in a VERY recent black panther arc. don't have scans, but someone may. it's in a synopsis of the issues if you need proof. i think the arc is 6 - 8, or something in the new series.

i dont know about that, he was still pretty durable when he died and they were trying to revive him

[B]I'm not sure about the numbers (ie, pounds per square inch), but possibly a bullet might hurt Thor when a nuclear blast doesnt because a bullet generates more pressure per square inch on the surface of whatever it is hitting than the much "broader" impact of a blastwave. This is why a person with a knife can stab through a bulletproof vest: the p.s.i. at the teeny tiny tip of a blade exceeds the p.s.i. at the much broader tip of a bullet's nose. Ah, physics. Can't live with it, can't live without it.

perhaps if the bullet was made of adamantium or some other similar substance it could pierce him.... but i don't believe regular ammunition could achieve that result
"And you are right it wasnt the heat vision that knocked him out it was a fist.

Of course its a good point. Nobody its invulnerable to a good punch from a guy of the same class.
"Either way it hurt Thor. He felt the pain of the heat vision"
Heat vision hurts him the same way Magic hurts Kal.
The substance the bullet is made of is of FAAAR less importance then the force that propels it. Even a rubber bullet could pierce a steel wall when you shoot it with enough energy. And an adamantium bullet would make no difference for a bulletproof character (which Thor SHOULD be according to logic) when it's shot from a normal weapon.
I can agree with that, but you and I both know if they had a comic with an adamantium bullet, it would cut swathe until it lost momentum from tavel... a vary far distance.

The PPPSI of a bullet doesn't in any way account for the complete atomic breakdown of the elements at the core of a nuclear explosion.
Wow. Even though I posted this thread in the wrong forum, it's brought out some great file attachments of Superman vs Thor. Makes ya wonder why a lot of people think Hulk is Supes' proper Marvel counterpart (yeah, I know, I know, it's the whole Strength thing). I presume this was the much-vaunted JLA vs Avengers crossover I've always heard so much about but never been able to find.
Cool stuff, people. Tres cool.

i know, but on initial impact an adamantium point wont flatten like a regular bullet against Thor's skin..... so it would have some advantages regular ammo doesn't .... probably

Thor, like Wonder Woman should be invulnerable to bullets due to the physics involve. If they aren't, then it shows that the writers really needs to go back to High School imo.I can understand being invulnerable to physical forces and being vulnerable to heat, but against a person who can survive reentry of the Earth, he shouldn't even notice bullets.
And yet Superman can travel faster than the speed of light and Captain Atom can shrink to smaller than an atom, without causing a black hole, hulk can lift buildings without them crumbling, Flash apparently has infinite mass when he's travelling near light yet he doesn't have any effect on the planet what so ever, Atlas can grow to enormous heights although his bones should be crumbling under the immense weight. The list goes on and on and on.
Physics .... puhhh lease ? 🙂
