As i understand it, it's the regular incarnations of each character seeing as there was no mention of other incarnations.

Or current incarnations, which would be Odinpower Thor

Even classic Thor IMO is more powerful than the others.

I would probably lean towards Thor due to bias.

Honestly, they're all pretty equal.

What are you guys talking about?
This thread is ambiguous. What defines someone to be more powerful than another? Is it the amount of energy they possess or the amount they can potentially hold?

i think the thread stater means all round power

And what does that mean? You can't define a word using the same word.
So does it mean that the more powerful is the one who can do the most things or effects (most versatile)?

It isn't ambiguous.

Power is work per unit time.

Who can perform the most work in the shortest time?

The Surfer.

Both Thor and Superman two lack the overall resourcefulness Surfer posesses to do things like...

a. Channel and absorb energies to amp existing abilities far beyond normal levels. Superman can do this with solar energy from earth's sun though.

b. Similar to Galactus...Surfer can extend and maintain any abilities for as long as there is cosmic available. Thor and Superman will tap out before Surfer who is capable of self sustenance any form of energy within the cosmos.

c. Cosmic awareness and Manipulation Matter. thats just plain powerful in itself. Resourcefulness in a nutshell. Surfer can and has also directly fed off of the energies of opponents.

I think h1a8 is trying to find a reason to bring superman as number 1 in this thread, thats why he keeps asking off the wall questions.

Overall power
1st: Thor
2nd: Surfer
3rd: Superman

Thor and surfer is equals in overall power but I give a slight nod to thor. surfer and thor>>>>>>>>>Superman in power and versatility. The only output of power that superman possess is heat vision and ice breathe whereas surfer and thor possess so much more and basically have done so much in comics that its ridiculous.

Thor can effect Celestials with his blows (all out, but still)... and let's not forget about the Godblast...

He also took down Glads easily after he got serious, with basic blows...
The Durok blast as well... Even Perrikus was getting beatdowns from Thor. Storm...

In my mind, he is clearly more powerful than the other two... not to say he'd win a fight... but still...

I would probably choose Thor.

Surfer gets my vote. Thor's Godblast is arguably the most powerful attack between the three, but some of Surfer's mass transmutation feats(such as his evolving an entire planet billions of years in an instant) probably require more power overall IMO.

Thor without question.

Did you read my post concerning both Work and Power? If not then read it and tell me what you think.
Basically work equals power (under constant forces).

classic thor beats every version of surfer except keeper imo

Well technically if we were to examine each character's history and rate all there incarnations Supes would be the most powerful IMO. Consider his showings in PC era, AS Supes, Supes 1M, SMP 1M, SM Blue and even in his current era. Thor matches very closly especially with his RKT incarnation, so I'd say it's between the both of them.

I think Thor is.

Surfer.
