Did he use absorption powers? Thought he couldn't use them anymore, otherwise he loses his humanity or somesuch.
So presumably another Thor KO? 😬
I know Rulk is physically strong, but you know somethings amiss when he can walk into Utopia alone, take an extended beating from the Avatars and Magneto before taking a 1st class flight across half the globe courtesy of Phoelops airlines and be relatively fine. Yet 9 times out 10, Thor seems to crumble pretty much after one shot, you would think he was meta level the way he's been treated at times.
Even in his best showing against Emma, he was still completely disrespected. I hope he does have some kind of redeeming moment before this event concludes, because this sh** is getting old really fast.
Found it! Yeaap. Thor gets beaten up again. Early on the issue, too.

I wonder if Thor will ever recover from the cumulative effects of all this head trauma (and I guess the question applies equally to the Thor fanatics at KMC).
I've got a feeling, somewhere in the bowels of Marvel HQ, they have an as yet unreleased comic which pays homage to the Doc Ock brain damage issue... a series of panels covering Thors many and varied instances of being KTFOed... then another panel stating that he really is not a "god", that he can't handle that kind of constant brain trauma and that he'll be spending his final days holding conversation with a cabbage ...
Really though, Thor's benefited from huge amounts of PIS and CIS in the past, now it seems he's being brought back to 'earth'.

Well at least thor keeps coming back. Glads is in a coma and Rulk almost got his arm torn off...pretty sure the p4 where holding back against Rulk. They are more powerful then p5 Namor and Demon Colossus.
What the hell can spidey do? Hope probably snaps when Colossus beats parker up and gets his 1/4 of PF...
lol @ classic Thor fanatic move ... "pretty sure X was/were holding back" ... yes, when Emma Frost amped by the PF is scared of Rulk and trying to kill him (because she fears he'll smash her), she's holding back.
What it really is, is simple. Thor can be kicked around and beaten up by many characters, those same characters cannot do that to Rulk. It's not possible for them to dominate him, physically, so they attempt other avenues of attack or bfr.
It's not "holding back", it's being ****ing smart.
Look at how powerful Phoeclops' OB was, it knocked Rulk through Utopia, by comparison Phoeclops went very easy on Thor.
Also, Gladiator got gang-banged by the P5, it's natural that he would be much worse off than Thor, who just gets beaten up by individual avatars.

Now I guess, Marvel's audience has changed and so the emphasis is less on Thor's "fighting spirit" and more on the plain simple fact that he's not that impressive, overall.
As "Savage Hulk" says: Puny God! ✅

Namor's fight I can't recall the details of, so forgive me if I don't take your view of it as the truth.
Again, I will point out, on-panel, Phoerost was scared of Rulk. That's all that matters, jobbing performances are common to all characters, and establishing a relative hierarchy is an art not a science.

I don't recall Thanos ever losing to Thor. A Thanos clone got blasted down by him but then got right back up and was fine. Thor later beat said clone but only after getting an amp from magic equipment from Odin.

Savage Hulk, who is noted to be atleast the equal of Thor+mjolnir, can't make Surfer budge, yet the same Surfer cannot no-sell Thor's attacks... that's inconsistency favouring Thor heavily.

yeah, these beatings he keeps taking are getting pretty old, though it appears there are 2 of them are working him over at the same time here. since we saw how he did against 1, 2 will certainly crush him. i'm trying to recall thor's last really good showing. pwning thing in the fear arc?? man, this is getting depressing. 😬
