At best for Hercules, you could argue that they both fought the same force but even thenm the description of the force Thor fought against was a lot more descriptive. The Yggdrasil and Atlas are the Axis Mundi for Olympus/Asgard respectively. Every pantheon and so on views it differently apparently. Atlas keeps the Heavens in place and so does Yggdrasil in a way (It's power unlimited and it connects all the worlds and holds the fabric of reality/cosmos in place.).
👆 Its very difficult to guage the impressiveness of hercs feat in comparison to other more quantifiable feats.
In a fight against each-other, Thor would naturally be holding back much more than Hercules. How is this Kris, you ask. I thought Hercules was a hero too?
What? fuuck no.
Hercules has killed relatives, friends and comrades in arms many, many times. He has no history of holding back against people who could be considered his friends.

He is the prince of power, Hercules isn't a true god 😐

Incorrect bullshit.
Hercules is the son of Zeus and a mortal woman in the comics as well, making him a demi god. Whether he is stronger/weaker than some gods doesn't matter, he isn't a full god. And Hercules relies on Zeus for -all- his power.
Thor's the son of an elder god and Odin, making him a fully fledged god. His powers do not stem solely from Odin, but from Gaea as well. And seeing as she is arguably Odin's equal/superior, there is no way that Thor's powers come JUST from her. Thor also happens to be stronger than Odin's other sons. So no, he does not just get his powers from his father.

According to Marvel's official stats and their own personal encounters? Their equals which I think they should be. If we look outside of that? Thor's on a different level. Hercules' isn't portrayed consistently and so on.
So you think Hercules and Thor should be equals in strength, even though their feats points to the contrary?

Yeah.
Ares is so up and down though, he was great in his own limited series. And he was something of a threat in Thor comics. In Avengers however, he's like a joke 😐
