How Fast is Thor?

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)

Yes, I read it. Like I said, his speed has been portrayed inconsistently.

His durability has been as well - that bothers me more.

So, basically, Deathstroke would be listed as a 7 along side Surfer's because his reflexes are instantaneous?

Does DC claim instantaneous, or nearly instantaneous for Slade?
To me, his reflexes should be the same level as Wolverine.

Oh, man. His durability makes me sick. Sometimes I think Cage is more durable.

What's your favorite "crappy" durability feat for Thor?

One thing I always thought about Thor was that he was older, but in fact he's only 2000 years old. All Asgardians are 2000 years old.

That he could be killed by a gunshot to the head - thank you Kurt Busiek. 🙄

Meanwhile, Hulk can crush him under 30 railroad cars, and he gets up and knocks Hulk flying.

For all the narrow eyes we give to Marvel stats, DC stats can be even more full of s**t.

D.C refuse to make handbooks altogether for some reason. I see it as lack of commitment and good writing.

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 Thialf at super speeds.

In Thor 354, Thor was toying with Hela using speed that according to her was beyond comprehension.

Thor on a few occasions has been described as being as quick as the very lightning he commands. The main stroke of lightning travels at about 0.1 c (30 million meters/second or 100 million feet/second) and the peak current lasts for tens of microseconds or so. After the peak, the current typically decays over tens or hundreds of microseconds. In otrher words Lightning is slightly slower than the speed of light, but in a vacuum their speeds are the same.

Once The High Evolutionary using Thor’s DNA, created a real Super Speedster in Zefra.

Have you ever looked at a florescent light bulb? Does it flicker? No? In fact it does, around 20 times a second, but our eyes aren't fast enough to pick it up so we only see an ongoing light instead of a strobe. 20 times a second isn't faster than light, is it? No and neither is Thor.

Thor has never shown reaction/running speed above the sound barrier. He's been blitzed by people below Spiderman.

I think the invisible to the human eye thing depends to do with the wavelengths and frequency of light. It doesnt have jack to do with speed really. Its the VIBRATION we cant see. We can see yellow light pass for instance if we could see the spanning distance. The human eye can see something moving, we just cant make out what it is. We cant see any form of light above ultraviolet, or below infrared (heat). Just like we cant hear certain sounds dogs and elephants can hear. etc.

Wow: In order for one to be invisible to the human eye they must be running faster than the speed of light. 😆 That is a first class piece of fanboyism I seen in a while...

So bascially you have no scans of actuall speed feats just 2 and 3 hand info like:" on a few occcasions he was described as quick as the lighting he commands" and another favorite of mine: Once The High Evolutionary using Thor’s DNA, created a real Super Speedster in Zefra. whats that got to do with anything please explain..

Although all this brings up a point: If you're going faster than light, how do you see? Since light wouldn't be fast enough to enter your eye, wouldn't it make you essentially blind....even if you're just being pulled ftl?

You know honestly thats a great question to me it would have to make you blind for a little bit which makes me thing how the hell the the flash see 😕 😂

Ok than smart guy, how fast do they have to be?🙄

An object travelling at ' close to ' the speed of light would be visible although it would be horribly distorted ( like stretching a rubber band..it gets longer and thinner ). Light travels at the speed of light, and you cannot see light. You can see surfaces that get illuminated by the light when it strikes them, but you cannot see the light itself.
So as an object crosses the boundary from sub-lightspeed to lightspeed, it's state would have to transform from matter into energy, effectively converting it into light. And that means you wouldn't see it until it collides with a surface,

So look up the issues, it's not my responsibility tp provide you with scans. However since I have a few, I will.

Yeah, but you wouldn't be able to see anything even if it was going only 50% the speed of light. Your mind isn't fast enough to gather and process info on something that fast and it'd simply ignore it like it does a florescent lamp.

20blinks a second is faster than the eye can see.

How is thor swinging Mjolnir constitute a speed feat he is neither running, flying, reflexes or combat speed those scans have no bearing in this discussion. Desperation is a stinky cologne..

And when you make claims wtihout scans I will call you on them Why do other people have to do your scans for you especially when you start a thread on thors speed yet put up no scans basing your claim...

Just qouting stuff like hela once said thor moved at a speed unseen out of a being before or some shit like that its garbage..

Thor also isn't a mortal being, he's a god that might help woth the process.

So basically references mean nothing to you since you don't have many comics?

I ask again what does that have to do with his reflexes battle speed running speed???

Refrences do but when there scans that back up your claim not that shit>
