What issue was this? I'm intrigued.
I have those comics. It was under John Byrne.
Adventures of Superman #441 (BTS), Superman II #19, Adventures of Superman #442, are the issues in question.
And yeah, it was an impressive showing for Cap, but the thing is, it also wasn't proven Dreadnaut "stacks" powers like Amazo. The fact is, Aquaman, Elongated Man, and Martian Manhunter all took turns kicking his ass, until Psi Phon nullified their powers. (Psi Phon examines and deactivates their powers, and Dreadnaut duplicates them. Which makes no sense, if you consider this implies all powers are psionic based.. I mean, how can you deactivate Caps flipping invulnerability?)

Cap's speed and durability versus Thor's damage soak and experience is what it boils down ultimately, imo.
Caps definately faster and I think with the "edge in strength" he can overwhelm Thor. It won't be quick and easy, but he can do it. Without the hammer I don't think Thor can put out enough power in his hits to accumulate sufficient damage quick enough.

I think any edge Cap has Thor strength wise isn't quite enough to clearly overpower him, but I can concede to Cap (and Superman for that matter) to having one. It's his mobility and speed that's the primary issue for Thor, imo.
I think Thor's fists are up to the task of being able to damage Cap or render him KOed.

Do you think the ferocity of Black Adam would have a different effect? Or do you think thor edges him. You have probablly said in other threads, but I cant remember.

Yeah I didn't phrase that too good. BA against Thor in this fight.
Black Adam would do better because of his mean streak/ruthlessness, yeah. Cap's a decent fighter - as vouched by WW herself - but when push comes to shove, he's a nice kid. Thor's more willing to cut loose and put someone in their place than Cap is, and so is Black Adam.
