Thor blindsided him with a hammer throw and then clocked him with Mjolnir a few times.Hulk was the one who beat him.
"When Thor was ready for him" I suppose means cheap-shotting Rulk when he wasn't expecting it... right?
And please read the comic again... THOR DID NOT END ANYTHING.
So he comes in for a surprise attack because he already got his ass whooped in a face to face encounter. Got it.
Rulk was just standing there dazed and confused because Thor blindsided him and started attacking without warning.
Saying what someone "might have done" is completely meaningless.
And Red Hulk is not in this encounter. Someone who is much, much, much, much, much x10000 faster than him is in this fight.
Dispelled magic from Arion.
Fought off the Queen of Fable's magical reality warping.
Used T-Vo to dissolve Adversary's magical clones.
Took a magical blast from Etrigan that sent him to the moon and he was completely unharmed.
Fought against and countered Avalon's magical attacks.
Defeated Blaze (magical skyfather) in her own dimension.
Deflected and weakened a mystical bolt so powerful, it was designated to destroy the Greek Islands.
Not to mention the fact that he has training from Zatanna to make him even more resistant to magic.
I haven't even tapped the surface either. There's a shit load more evidence in the Superman respect thread.
Probably because Superman's "weakness" to magic is blown waaaayyy out of proportion.
So even when Thor loses legitimately, there's still an excuse.
Fact remains that Superman caught the hammer mid-swing with one hand, and then one-hit KO'd him with the other. Pretty simple.
The bottom line is that Thor is MORE POWERFUL NOW THAN IN CLASSIC FORM. End of discussion.
This IS NOT Current Thor, but rather, Classic Thor. Anymore attempts to use it as evidence in this thread shall be reported as trolling.
