This really sums it up. Now get the **** outta here.
Dan took back his statement after controversy. Niggas do that shit all of the time. Don't try to make me out to be a liar when I know what the **** I'm talking about.
I'm confused after reading the interview, as to what the follow-up with Dan Jurgens implies here:
http://www.comicboards.com/thor/view.php?trd=040223201106
Note I am not siding with anybody here, I'm just looking for clarification:
Posted by Dan Jurgens on Monday, February 23 2004 at 20:11:06 GMTAfter numerous e-mails from friends pointing to a minor firestorm of sorts regarding my comments relating to the power levels of Thor and Superman, I thought some clarity might help.
Yes, in the exchange, I was asked if Superman was a million times more powerful than Thor. I said yes.
I also chuckled as I said it, a very important part of the response that did not translate into print. I don't blame Rich as he gave me the chance to edit the interview. Quite frankly, it never occurred to me that anyone would seriously think that statement was an accurate representation of my belief on the matter.
So... we screwed up.
Superman is NOT a million times more powerful than Thor. In my book, he is probably not even twice as powerful as Thor. Superman has more expansive powers than Thor, IMO, thanks to his vision powers, etc.
I also think they fight quite differently. Thor tends to be more of a brawny reactionary type, while Superman probably fights with a more strategic approach. Thor is more likely to cut loose with the full measure of his powers as he does not have the "dampers" on that power that Superman was raised with. Both qualities can be an advantage or disadvantage, depending on the circumstances.
If they fought ten times, neither would win all ten, or even seven, eight or nine battles, for that matter. Not anymore than the Miami Dolphins would beat the Jets ten games out of ten.
I apologize for any confusion.

I thought he was saying that Superman would lose due to his slight weakness to magic? But yeah, good point.

He said Superman would lose to Thor becuz of Magic. He also said Odin was planetary lvl. So shut up. You said I was a liar and I wasn't. The shit hit the fan and Higher powers made dan recant. He didn't even recant well. Of course he believes Superman to be millions of times stronger than thor if He only thinks Odin is planetary. Superman has shown more power than planetary. If you were really that intelligent, you'd of picked up on that. Instead you want to try and make yourself be someone important enough for me to lie to? LMAO. 😆

He did mention magic as the reason, but a weaknss to magic shouldn't matter if Superman was really millions of times more powerful.
DAN JURGENS: No . . . not even possible. Even if you bring back Thor to his basic self, the Thor of issue one of my run, he would beat Superman.

That is what he was saying. Check it, he also says Odin is planetary lvl.
Odin>>>Thor. That also means that Superman would be millions of times more powerful since Superman is more powerful than planetary lvl. Dan meant what he said. He was backtracking due to higher powers.

I said you were a liar because you are, you claimed he was forced to recant when the truth is that he merely explained his comments, at no point did he say or even imply that he was forced to do so.
I'd say you are an idiot if you dont' think marvel made him recant that statement. Given the fact that all evidence points to him actually believing what he said. or did you miss the part where he said odin was only planetary lvl. Where does that put thor? And do you realize how powerful Superman is? certainly beyond planetary. So am I liar or are you just too dimwitted to look at the facts?
Fan outrage means unhappy marvel.

shut the **** up. I just posted the interview. Why don't you read it instead of trolling. as a matter of fact. i'm reporting you for trolling and flaming.
Originally posted by Silent MasterAnd yet he says odin is only planetary lvl. So what would that make thor? he didn't recant his statement about odin. Only an idiot would think he was joking. I have pwned you and made you look like a fool. Becuz that is what you tried to do to me. anyone with half a brain can see that he was serious and that fan outrage made the higher powers upset. now i don't appreciate you calling me a liar. You should be calling me smart for being able to look at all of the events and put two and two together and come up with four. you came up with 3. you were way off. I do not like you. I don't like people calling me a liar and when I show my stance, you just completely ignore the evidence.
There is no evidence that he was being serious when he made the million of times smore powerful comment.In fact he has flat out stated that it was a joke.
