Doubtful that such tactics would work on a similarly mystically-enchanted He-Man.
He-Man has him in strength likely, but he's got a variety of low durability showings. His sword, at its zenith, is like Mjolnir-lite in its versatility, and can absorb lightning and such. So it would end up as a brawl.
Which I still think Thor wins, btw.
Yeah, that's the best place to go.
Not many people have access to his actual comics, so knowledge about him is limited. Much as I like him (I helped make the thread) he's probably a touch overrated on the forums. His feats don't really match his rep sometimes...the high-end stuff is there, but there's a lot more low-end feats than other top tiers (Thor among them). The respect thread doesn't give a great indication of that, of course, because it highlights what he's capable of.
Part of the reason is that, even more than most comic characters, He-Man's might was generally a direct plot device depending on what needed accomplished for the story....and not just with strength. If it happened in a comic in the era when a lot of his comics were coming out, he'd match and probably beat Thor because of the "Most Powerful Man in the Universe" moniker. But he would job a lot more often than Thor as well to serve the story.
Like Superman does sometimes, but even moreso.

Just got through some of the scans in there.
Yeah, some stuff is impressive, but nothing i saw led me to believe He Man could beat someone like Thor for a majority.

BTW I'm always seeing people ask for strength feats for He-Man that concretely place him in the cl 100+ category so I figured I'd post this one before I forget about it...
