I don't have to downplay it, it downplays itself. It flat out by definition states Thor to be moving at a speed less than what Wolverine has been described.. You readily ignore multiple speed feats Wolverine has in which his speed was JUST as sustained. Fighting the Prime Sentinals, catching speed demon his multi after image sequence with X-23... And every one of those feats doesn't exactly have Wolverine straining himself.....
For you to come to the conclusion that Thor is > Wolverine in speed is MASSIVE conclusion-jumping indeed.

"fast as lightning". you think he's fast enough to catch adam's staff in mid-swing, but can't grab logan's wrists and hurl him into orbit?
Basically what Srank said about this one.....
And..... Warrior Madness? Really? I should think that were that a stip in this fight it would drastically change the outcome... 😐

it's the length of the display and the actions he undertook that make it impressive. warlock says he's as fast as lightning. he's having no problem hitting surfer OR warlock. i don't think we need to talk about how fast THOSE 2 are.
Wolverine undertakes the actions long enough to hold off Prime Sentinals for an entire team of X-Men to mobilize... it's not as impressive.
And again, Warrior Madness... it's not a stipulation here.

so show me a comparable act.
Of being faster than the eye can follow? Didn't carver post 4 already?
Go to the respect thread, there's plenty more there too.

thor's speed has been remarked upon and demonstrated many times. he regularly battles guys like gladiator and surfer and hyperion who operate on the levels of light speed. you think if he was as slow as you want to make him out to be he'd ever even HIT one of them? or is that all PIS?
Thor uses magic and powers he doesn't have here to win or take an advantage in THOSE fights. When Gladiator turned his speed on Thor got the boots.
When Thor obliterated Surfer it was with Warrior Madness.
MOST OF THE TIME, bricks fight Thor like bricks and he does the same in turn.. again.. quick? Sure. In WM definitely. To the degree you think on a regular basis? HELL.. NO...
Not at least for classic Thor, current's a different story.

thor blocks laser fire from glads after it's fired by spinning his hammer. you think that kind of combat motion is NOT faster than the eye can follow? and you're baffled?
I'm baffeled because again I fail to see at what point a lesser feat becomes more impressive than Wolverine's who has blocked several lazers with his claws individually and knocked other superhumans out of the way after a lazer has been fired... It's typical speed fair for superheroes.

vastly? thor needs to first raise then spin the hammer. that's 2 actions to logan's one. and who cares if the hammer is magic? you think it raises and spins itself . . .? 😕
Yes because he not only had the reaction time to block the lasers but the accuracy to block multiple lasers individually with his claws at the same time.
As soon as the hammer's given momentum or put in use magic comes into play it doesn't help your case. 😬
Both have reacted to lasers but Thor's reactions are the only ones that matter based on a lack of effeciency? Yeah, that makes sense.

unfortunately, he generally only comes out when he has been stripped of all his powers and is fighting 2 guys who can hack him to death.
Pretty much my point. He doesn't exist except for some fantasy version on KMC.

and he has also basically one-shotted ben and one-shotted namor. as i recall, logan as had issues with them a time or 2 as well . . . what exactly is to stop thor (who is MUCH faster than tha wrecker) from doing the exact same thing to logan as the wrecker did? except, this time, instead landing in another city, he . . . doesn't land.
Lol! Barely.... You know when he was mind controlled missing half his soul and oh wait no.. he made quick work of both of them in that state.
I dunno, the fact that Logan isn't going to be swinging for a crowbar? Oh and that his teammate isn't going to be throwing out attacks that can generally be ignored 😕

and? you make it sound like it's impossible for thor to hit him or something. i won't bother to list the slower opponents who've tagged logan. no point.
And? It's the most relivent piece in this debate... How Thor has dealt with similar characters matters here and his track reconrd doesn't lend one to think his speed, fighting skill, and tactical ability are going to leave him >>>>>> Over two fighters of this calibur...
I never stated nor implied that he can't touch either one of these guys... IMO it'd be a decent fight but he'd lose the majority.
Originally posted by leonidas
not really. it's more thor's always thinking glads is a friend and being caught off-guard that is the issue. when battle starts, against guys who REGULARLY display LIGHTSPEED combat feats and reactions, thor does just fine.
Who regularly display it, until they start fighting like a brick... and please two of those fight examples happened while the brawl was already underway.

it HAS been shown more than once. he can use his hammer to travel 3x lightspeed. clearly he can react and perceive motion at speeds so far beyond logan it's silly. hela has said he's as quick as the lightning he commands. surtur as said much the same. warlock too. why doesn't he showcase it more? shrug maybe cuz he's a god and generally doesn't need to resort to the style of battle logan does? doesn't mean we disregard the evidence we DO possess.
Oh god, here we go with travel = to combat speed.....
IT ISN'T....
ust because you can drive at 120 miles an hour doesn't mean you're going to be able to pluck 30mph arrows out of the air.
The evidence we DO possess has Thor being put in defensive fights against everyone I previously listed, has Odin Powered Thor resorting to energy projection against Wolverine with no ungodly speed/reaction time to speak of, has Wolverine clearly able to harm him, and him impressed (an understatment) by the speed, skill, and tactical ability to a guy like Cap to a point that he lost a fight against him.....
So... I guess we DO disregard it if your going to ignore that for Thor's feats while under the influence of Warrior Madness.

fighting like a brick, he loses. fighting using the powers he has displayed, he wins more often than not imo.
He hasn't displayed em in h2h so it's hardly anything the team flar wouldn't be able to deal with.
This is basically a less powerful version of Herc. vs this team..... It's not nearly what you're making it out to be. (well classic anyways, again, dunno about current. )
