How Fast is Thor?

Well I'm here to clear up some things about Thor's speed.

Well I was looking back at some past comics and I've discovered some things about Thor's speed.

In Journey into the Mystery number 110 where Thor runs so fast as to be invisible to the human eye. In order for one to be invisible to the human eye they must be running faster than the speed of light.

An impressive, but lesser feat is in Journey into the Mystery 112 where Thor runs the entire length of New York in a "heartbeat", and in Thor V2 Thor fights Thialfi at super speeds.

What you think?

He's as swift as lightning, or so I've heard.

📖 Still about 10 notches below supes 👿

Actually speed of sound, Aurora has done that. However, it maybe different depending on the context how it was portrayed

He's slower than Spiderman. He's said so himself. He's got superhuman reflexes and speed, but below someone like quicksilver and others.

He may have said that, but his feats say otherwise. 😉

They really don't. I would know, I've read close to 500 issues of Thor. He has very, very minor superhuman speed/reflexes.

Unless you mean how fast his hammer pulls him, which can be 100x lightspeed.

His speed has been potrayed a bit inconsistently.
Flying, he can get anywhere as fast as he needs to, and can teleport dimensions. On the ground, it's debatable.
Part of it is speed isn't a heavily used part of his power. He doesn't depend on it to accomplish a goal. He's a warrior who would rather hammer his way through an object or opponent, rather than use speed for victory.

I've seen Thor spin his hammer at such high speeds that the molecules around the hammer catch fire, but then, later on, he can't chase down a car on foot. Very inconsistent.

If I HAD to say how fast Thor is I'd say he's somewhere around Spiderman's level in speed. Since Thor is as strong as the Hulk, he can probably run a few hundred miles per hour if he gets a good start.

This is the only Thor speed feat I could ever find.

It's hard to tell. I wish he had more speed feats. 😠 I think there's another where he's dodging lightning somewhere.

did anyone even read the first post of the thread? 🙁

I have some scans of some, but I don't feel like going to find them right now.

Lightning moves much faster that the speed of sound yet lightning is still visible to the human eye. In fact while in a vacuum Lightning moves at the speed of light, much faster that sound.

I'm not sure, but aren't some planes and or jets able to move at the speed of sound?

Damn a god with the speed of spiderman 🍺

Thor is probably moving a good bit below the speed of sound there.

Its hard to really judge it though

HAS ANYONE BESIDES kING MUNGI READ MY FIRST POST?

Here are stats related to speed and reflexes, from a Thor fansite.

Speed: Superhuman (6/10)
( Definition: 6 - Superhuman: peak range: 111-115 miles per hour)

Flight Speed: Unrevealed, probably Escape Velocity (9/12)
( Definition: 9 - Escape Velocity: Mach 32.7: 7 miles per second)

Reflexes: Superhuman (6/7)
( Definition: 6 - Superhuman: virtually instantaneous)

Spiderman could do the same feat IMO. Thor is simply moving fast enough that he's a hard-to-see blur. Spiderman is said to be much faster than the human eye and he's got feats out the ass that prove it.

Unless we're using metaphors and such like "Faster than lightening" as fact, Thor isn't even super-sonic. It doesn't make him less of a great character, but throughout my Thor collection, his speed feats are nearly nonexistent.
