I'll change my entire set to reflect Hulk supremacy if Storm beats Thor.
The simple fact that Thor is facing the Phoenix, something that would easily incinerate basically every X-men with a fart indicates that writers are aware they are playing in different leagues.
Originally posted by carver9After Tony began leeching magnetic energy from Jupiter, he clearly became>standard Mags. Mags responded by siphoning magnetic energy from multiple planets (and a sun?) in order to bridge that gap--and even then, Tony still did quite well (and that was AFTER his connection to Jupiter had been severed.)
I think Magneto did all of that for sports...I don't think he did that because he needed too. He was matching him just fine before amping.

See above. Also, the fact that Magneto can draw enough power to go in slugfest mode with an amped Iron Man - after getting hit unshielded by his amped energy blast, is quite insane as far as Magneto's 'strength class' is concerned.Iron Man saying that his repulsors have no chance of getting through Magneto's shields was also quite tasty.

There wasn't a constant connection to be severed. The satellites siphoned Jupiter's magnetic field, and send it into Iron Man's suit in a burst of energy. Magneto destroying the satellites did nothing more than prevent Iron Man from getting another boost - but the initial amp was still there, only fading as Magneto was beating on him.See above.

I'm especially happy for the fact that it nullifies Magneto's 'physical frailty' when coming up against physical formidable opponents - because as this shows, he can at the very least hang with them in a slugfest, before even using his energy manipulation.
That, and being able to tap into planetary magnetic fields even as far away as Phoenix's location, means that tactics like "absorbing/messing with Earth's magnetic field will never affect him".
Originally posted by abhilegendYes, he had his plan unravelled and destroyed, not being able to get power boosts from the satellites. But that doesn't mean that his amp dissapeared when the satellites were destroyed, for the simple fact that the satellites weren't supplying a constant stream of energy - they send quick bursts, as clearly shown.
Tony said that it was good while it lasted just afer the connection was severed.

Though where the slugfest is concerned, Mags manifested that suit of armor for a reason. Dunno if he would have been able to duke it out with Tony like he did w/o said armor..? /shrug

Really? That's disappointing. I hope Thor doesn't lose idiotically like not even attempting to defend himself, at least if he's not caught off guard.
I find Thor being near death to be very unlikely.
Injured? Sure. Severely? Maybe. But nothing he couldn't soon recover from.
Especially since he's fighting a resurrected Captain Marvel next issue.
Then again, you are you.

He is currently laying in a Kree Hospital bed with his entire body bandaged up. Noh-Varr said his injuries are severe but he'll be fine because he is a god.

Meh, it wasn't horrible. Wish Thor put up more of a fight but I guess they'll have a second battle later on.
Haha, never seen Thor in bandages like that before. His injuries are severe but I'm not going to call it near-death. At least until I see the next issue, he should be battle ready.
I did chuckle at Valkyrie apparently using Thor's unconscious body as a shield.

So, are those scenes of Thor hurling Mjolnir at the Phoenix while everyone is drifting from space depicting another encounter or just retelling the events in Secret Avengers?
I hope Fraction writes the second fight.
I really want to see Thor at least gain the advantage over the Phoenix.

Not sure why you find that amusing.
Different writers have different opinions.
I wish everyone decided to follow continuity and precedent, then I wouldn't have to ponder a Thor vs. Storm fight going south.
