ermm

That's a test of character, not sheer power. Characters have held off mjolnir returning to Thor before. It's just that Surfer is not powerful enough to do that.

You seem to think that I'm claiming Surfer is outright more powerful but I'm not, personally I think it's a coin toss that ultimately depends on who's writing the situation.

Well I'm claiming that Thor is more powerful. I will even BZ on Surfer being equal to Thor.

It's an enchantment that's part of the hammer's magic. Therefore if we use your logic then anyone who's unable to overcome the enchantment is less powerful than Thor.

Well you're free to believe what you want, more power to you. I on the other hand disagree. And I'll have to pass on the I'm not keen on the idea of putting a lot of effort and research on something else you'll likely kamikaze.

What part of "it's a test of character" you can't understand? It's not a test of power.

The returning enchantment has been overpowered several times.

Concession accepted. Thor Is more powerful than Surfer.

Now stop wasting my time.

That sounds cool in a comic book, not so much on a battle forum 😂

Take the debate Goober.

Ah the psychology of all of this is that Supes fans want Thor to be more powerful than the Surfer because in their mind that justifies Supes being top dog. With Supes having a victory over Thor and all. Funny.

But if they're more powerful than Mjolnir/Thor then by your definition they should be able to overcome that enchantment.

What are these times of which you speak? To my recollection the return enchantment has only been bypassed by plot device type situations where the opponent was actually able to wield the hammer themselves and that kind of thing.

Oh abhi, always trying to claim a concession when no such thing has been given lol.

Nah. I no longer have the vast library I once had of Surfer and Thor scans. I could prob get them all again, but the whole thing would take far more effort than abhi is worth.

Hey, fair point.

Norrin would wtfstomp him like he did his peer, Orion. 👆

In a comic Thor will be shown as more powerful (if slightly). In a forum, Surfer is more powerful.

Anyone remember all those times that Surfer humbled Thor and smashed him in combat?

Me either. Because its always the other way. Every single time they aren't stopped.

Marvel views Thor as the mightier from the very beginning.

Surfer is millions or billions of times more powerful then Thor.

At best (because of the black hole creation). But on average Surfer jobs a lot and his blasts vs his peers sucks.

Superman doesn't needs Thor to prove superior to Surfer. He has his own feats for that.

Even cyborg Superman laughed at the Eunuch.

What part of "test of character" are you unable to understand?

How many times are you going to ignore such a simple thing?

Graviton, Dr Spectrum, Ultimo at the top of my head.

A lot more if I start checking my comics.

You're always running away from me. It's even worse than concession.

Your insistence is amusing if nothing.

More like.. The comics show Thor to be more powerful than Surfer. Period.

abhi I'm using YOUR logic here. You're saying that if Surfer was unable to overpower one of the hammer's enchantments then it means that the hammer(and therefore Thor) are more powerful than he. Well that kind of sweeping characterization would also apply to the rest of the enchantments as well, including the one about lifting it.

Cool do you have any scans of those instances? It's cool if you don't(I can check with someone else), I just feel the need to view them for myself to check for context.

Poor abhi... you should really come to grips with the fact that posters like you are the whole reason for this little tidbit...
