Civil War #4: Hercules vs Thor?

Any predictions? Speculation? Preferences? Frankly, if Thor is on the wrong side, I'd by happy to see Hercules beat some sense into him.

CW3
Codename: Lightning

Relating to CW4

NRAMA: So don't leave us hanging here Tom - you can't just walk away here after that ending - got a few teases for issue #4?
TB: Okay, we've already said that issue #4 includes a death, a funeral, a betrayal and a team reborn. So somebody's not making it out of the book in one piece, and you're about to see a major status quo shift for both a team and a book in the Marvel U.
And Thor is the fifth tease.

Either Herc or Sentry is fine. Cap needs someone who can stand up to Thor.

Cap needs someone who can stand up to Iron Man much less Thor.

Though herc would be ok, its not gonna happen. The better shot is sentry

This though isn't the true thor though. I hope that this awakens RKT since in the fight with Desak, Thor could fell when his power was being used by an avatar. First Sentry has to choose a side and we will see how it goes down.

Is there any mention of Beta Ray Bill in the Civil War? I mean, he is there on earth. Will he make an appearance? Especially since he'll assume his old friend is back.

I'm almost positive they're going to have Cap somehow take down Iron Man, since these two have the biggest rivalry going on in the war.

I doubt it, for one of Thors best friends, he seems to not keep up which whatb goes does with Thors life. Remember in ragnarok, Bill didn't even know that odin had died and thor was the new king of asgard

I remember reading some interviews about Bill being part of Annihilation but I think that idea was canned.

Sentry is not going to be the one to take on Thor. According to the solicitations for Wolverine's final issue of the Civil War story Sentry is working with Shield when Wolverine storms the Helicarrier, so Sentry seems to be out as a counterpart to Thor.

They could get Namor to fight Thor or Iron Man.

I think we're gonna see the other members of the Illumnati show up to defend Cap. Namor and Black Bolt are probably on the way

Namor fighting Thor.....I just can't see it. It wouldn't seem fair , I mean Stark is one Thing ...but Thor !

That's like hopping from middleweight champion of your hometown boxing club to taking on the world heavy weight champ in a 28 round match....

Yea, that would rock.

Namor is suppose to be fighting Black Panther in October. At least thats what it shows on the cover.

I can see it. They have tussled before and plus Namor has currently been wearing his black outfit(which keeps him hydrated all the time) so hed always be at full strength. Thor even cheap-shot Namor once and it barely phazed him.

The fight isnt as one sided as you may think. Namor is a heavyweight as well you know.

True , but he just doesn't have the versatility Thor has.

Namor may not need the versatility as long as he has the strength and speed. Thor hardly shows his versatility in fights with powerhouses anyway, so i dont think it would matter much.

But is this the real Thor or someone else who, by picking up Mjolnir, was able to get some percentage of Thor's power? Given that Thor decided to "sleep", whatever that means, how much of Thor's power does this character have? If it's the real deal, then Namor is screwed, watersuit or not, but if not, then he stands a chance. But that's assuming Namor will take him on. Hercules is more powerful than Namor and would be a better choice.

Im not comvinced at all that its the real Thor?? Im hoping the real deal awakens then thier will be several ass's to kick.
