GL's fluctuate a ton, depending on willpower and/or writer.
I don't think anyone's saying Thor can't win. But max potential he loses.
...
Actually though, has anyone considered Thor absorbing the GL's energy into Mjolnir? Is that possible?

Thor can also have Mjolnir just phase right through shields to it's target as shown in a battle with Kang, but yea he should have no problem absorbing Hal's energy. Actually Thor may be able to suck the energy of the ring dry, thus leaving Hal defenseless.
I do think Thor can take Surfer...............Just not the half assed way Marvels shown it for years.
Thor using his head and hammer>standard Surfer.
But when he fights incompetently and still beats Surfer, then i get incredulous.
Surfer is more durable, faster and processes information so much faster its insane.
And i still maintain, that there isn't much Thor can do that Surfer can't.
And let Thor lose the hammer for a minute, and he loses the fight.
Surfer makes my penis hard.
Originally posted by ValidusHe does get his butt handed to him 2/3 times when it does occur though. I don't think Thor would be quite so crafty most of the time though. It'd be a last minute desperation move if he was losing or if he really wanted to stick it to Hal that he's just a man who's nothing without his weapon. Energy absorption would win 2 out of the 10 fights. I still think that Thor just overwhelms Hal with his power. A lot of his ring's manipulation powers wouldn't work since the ring would not be able to analyze Thor's power or Mjolnir. His ring can't negate or manipulate magic either so he couldn't just absorb or redirect a blast from Mjolnir. He'd be working in the dark as to what Thor could do and probably would only be able to defend with 'strength constructs.' Despite Hal's will, his forcefield has been penetrated by someone with Mongul-strength and I totally think a "Galactus-hurting Mjolnir godblast" would penetrate anything Hal threw up.
Because Hal has never countered an energy absorption.
Hal wins one or two out of sheer ingenuity and guts, although I can't imagine how he could overpower Thor. But then again, anybody that could do what he did in GL #3, the scene where he gets totally drained and leaps out of a burning plane to recharge his ring has to be able to do something. Seriously, no fear whatsoever. Stunts like that are what Daredevil wishes he could do.
Thor still 8/10
