However, I would like to add that these two are compared way too often. High profile, both in Marvel, and both similar power level. But they're starkly different characters. I always hate when people end up diminishing one to prop up the other, which happens all the time.
Also, yeah, Thor has FAR better showings against Thanos, who is a great benchmark for durability.
Let me just say that Using thanos as a benchmark is an extemely faulty since their fights against him have happened under extremely different circumstances. Thor was heavily amped in BOTH of the fights he has had against thanos in which he performed well. A regular thor has fought thanos with the assitance of thing and gotten thrashed. (i blieve he was 3shotted or something like that)

When Thor's fought a Thanos clone, he did well. Once. The other Thanos clone he fought? Mjolnir bounced off his back like Thor didn't even throw it.
Originally posted by DigiDigi, Thor utterly annihilated the Surfer. He crushed the Surfer on his own and then later demoralized him alongside warlock. They both went running for the hills.

I don't think a fight would always end in such a decisive manner, but let's look at the facts here. Thor has done better against Galactus, Thanos, etc. and when you couple that with his blood and thunder showing I think the case for Thor is a helluva lot more solid than a case for the Surfer.
Originally posted by EnyalusThor was never beaten with an inch of his life as quickly as the Surfer was by Thanos. I don't think either can beat Thanos, but Thor matches up a lot better against him than the Surfer.

Yeah. Surfer's gotten his ass kicked by Thanos before. 8 punches. From an upgraded version of Thanos. 'Bout equal, if you ask me.
Originally posted by EnyalusOk, but that isn't anywhere near as badly as he beat the Surfer into submission.
Thanos had Thor on his hands and knees with Mjolnir out of his grasp, with three eyebeam blasts IIRC. First-version Thanos.Yeah. Surfer's gotten his ass kicked by Thanos before. 8 punches. From an upgraded version of Thanos. 'Bout equal, if you ask me.

Even in the IG Saga, Thor fared better than everyone there, had Thanos layed out flat like a flash KO, so much that Dr Doom almost ran over and wrestled the glove of his hand after hanging back the whole time. Thanos with the power gem no less.

This isn't a battle. Eny, why the abc logic here? Thor has utterly decimated the Surfer and then Surfer and a friend. He is a more skilled opponent and lives for battle while the Surfer avoids it at all costs.What has the Surfer done to compare to the godblast?
