Revamped Thor Respect Thread

I've got a bunch of updates. Firs, here's another update on Mjolnir:

MJOLNIR OFFENSE

STRIKING POWER

Mjolnir's striking power runs the gamut. Here, on the high end, it topples the formidable Fin Fang Foom in a single throw, and even gives the short-lived God of Heroes, Hercules, pause, from Pet Avengers: Tails of Summer #1 and Chaos War #1:

While the absence of collateral damage is hardly evidence that a mighty blow has been struck, when it does show up in a big way, it matters. Such is the case here where Thor strikes Galactus and his Matter Converter machines and the skyscraper they're built near explode from the shockwaves, from Avengers vol.4 # 5:

As mentioned, Mjolnir's striking power runs the gamut. On one hand, Thor destroys a comet which threatens Earth... and on the other hand, a simple tap will chip Iron Man's Extremis armor, much to Stark's dismay, from Hulk #26 and Iron Man vol.5 #2:

MJOLNIR OFFENSE

STRIKING POWER

The consequences of being struck by Mjolnir can be catastrophic. It can (i) tear right through Juggernaut's armor, or (ii) blow completely through the Thing's arm and jaw (who luckily, has Odin turn back time), from Thunderbolts #150 and Thor: First Thunder #5 respectively:

Mjolnir doesn't always blow right through things. It's impact can have an extremely wide range. Here, a tossed Mjolnir turns back a massive tidal wave that would have destroyed the city, from Astonishing Thor #2:

MJOLNIR STORMBRINGER

STORM CONTROL

This is another instance of Thor channeling his lightning to create an area effect attack which rips outward in an expanding circle, from Chaos War Thor #2:

The power of Thor's lightning can rip through foes like the Juggernaut and the Chaos King, from Thunderbolts #150 and Chaos War #6:

WHIRLWINDS

One of Mjolnir's greatest manifestations of powerful whirlwinds occurs during Chaos War. After diving into Glory, ten thousand entities and the worlds they inhabited in one being, Thor decides to combat him on his level and scale... by summoning "the winds of a thousand worlds" which causes a "cosmic hurricane" that causes even Glory pain. From Chaos War: Thor #1:

Thor's a god, and as such, his perception is not bound by the merely perceptible. His divinity transcends dimensions and apparently, so does his corporeal form as shown here when Thor bends space and steps out of that Universe:

Thor easily outraces Alter Ego:

Thor also got hot and heavy with Zephyr, the Goddess of the Winds, but as they are two beings who can bend the heavens, their passion nearly split the world in two:

"He was the best I ever had. Magnificent."

Coming out of the Tesseract (cosmic cube) on his own!!! That's a feat!

You don't think so??

Nope.

You think they are about equal?

Honestly? I'd argue Thor's stock started going down at around the early 00's if anything. It balances out in the end I guess, but it definitely took a hit with shit like JLA/Avengers, Let the Battle Begin etc. I blame it on Quesada's no hands on approach editing. Writers can do whatever they want.

The fat bastard.

His stock going down around JLA/Avengers or during JLA/Avengers? Because that isn't in continuity for MU. Overall, would you say Classic Thor has better feats than current Thor (without Odin Force)? Like Hal has better feats PC, than currently.

"He was the best I ever had. [b]Magnificent." [/B]

Astonishing Thor has been great so far, imo.

Hey, can you guys recommend some Thor stuff that has came out in the past 3 years? Non JMS stuff.

Thor stuff that's been released only in the last 3 years? I'd say pick up Gillen's run and his Loki one shot. The Siege tie ins are the lowest point -they're never bad or anything- imo but that's too be expected. Everything else good. Don't waste your money on the current Fraction run.

During. Seeing Clark knock Thor out definitely brought his stock down. Even if it's non cannon, it still happened and that's what the average person cares about.

At what point does classic Thor become current Thor in your opinion? I'd need that to give the most accurate judging.

Cool, I'll check those out.

Maybe in 1980. When people talk about classic Thor, it's more around the Silver Age, right?

Not me. Everything from the 60's to the early/mid 90's is classic Thor in my book.

If you're using 1980 as the cut off point, there would be no difference imo.

yes!! let's hope it keeps going like this with more powerful beings for thor to fight and hope that thor has great feats as well

Best.Taunt.Ever.

YouTube video

^ It's wildly impractical in a fight with a live opponent, but it does have its use. And while Thor is really slow in the game, his damage output is ridiculous.

Yeah he wouldnt get far with that speech in the game haha. Sure is cool though. And maybe if the assit character was holding the opponent off it could work.

Still Superman even on his best day could never knock out classic Thor. Thors been beaten on by Mangog for a full 60 seconds and he was still alive but not really knocked out as he still crawled away. If he can take that Supermans hits will not be able to harm Thor at all. Considering the difference in threats Superman and Thor deal with
Superman-Parasite, toyman..... Darkseid
Thor-Celestials, Ego the living planet, Surtur

If its a real fight people say Superman wins based on speed but Superman only uses speed when he can't beat a foe with strength thus he uses speed and all his other powers to beat them at once. Lets face it laser vision? Not doing a damn thing, Ice breath? Not doing a damn thing. Any other power? Not doing a damn thing. Its only because Thor doesn't face speedsters that they forget his reaction time is lighting fast. Read when he fought his fathers servant who stole the odin force.

Anyway Classic Thor isn't based on a date specifically its based on his return. Right after Ragnaork when he was brought back he was weakened. Right during his fight with Iron man. Sure he beat the shit out of Iron man but right after that he's been de powered incredibly. Thats when classic Thor died. Well he really died during vl three when he was to human to even go Warriors rage or whatever but still pretty powerful. Yeah not after the whole sentry arc he's becoming more and more how he used to be. Hell even in his Mikaobshi fight he showed some classic feat with that hurrican to move worlds or something?
