Thor. As dependent as he is on his hammer for so much of his abilities, he's still a superphysical being, a god, without it. Hal is even more dependent on his ring, and w/o it he's just a man. Also, magic > oan energy (magic = ultimate plot device).Overall a good/close fight, tho'.

I woula agree and take it a step further. THe Hammer can absorb the energy of anything Hal use on Thor from energy blast to contructs even forcefields. Plus the ring would run out of juice on top of that.
Originally posted by MindshipMost casters in this class have a limit before they burn out too. Does Thor? I dunno, I can't recall him whipping out powerful spell after spell after spell in rapid succession either. Usually he starts his uru tenderizer first.
Yeah, I can't really argue with that. I guess the thing that always balanced it out for me was that the ring had to be recharged, it had definite limits in that vein.

Ever heard of Wotan? High end mage that Hal has done well with. Among many others. Magic doesn't mean anything.
