first, why on earth on you showing scans that have exactly zero relevence to, well...... anything? showing scans of odinforce thor=less than irrelevent so that whole set of scans at the end is utterly meaningless.
Back then JMS still hadn't decided to give Thor the Odinforce as far as I can tell. There was a reason as to why when Iron Man asked if Thor had been working out (I.e Gotten stronger.) he simply said he wasn't holding back anymore. He seemed to be cutting loose and not amped in that fight. Repulsor's having no affect is in line with Thor and Iron Man's history.

next, your scan of thor taking the repulsor blast is also not nearly as telling as you seem to believe for a couple reasons. first, HE HAS HIS HAMMER IN HIS HAND. 😐 therefore, it's impossible to say whether it played a role in what happened. we see he has his left hand raised in the silhouette and his right arm thrown back. mjollnir was in his left hand. he could easily be absorbing or deflecting some of the blast as he has done so often to energy attacks in the past. frankly, we can't say.
Haha what? Mjolnir is in his right hand. His left hand is slightly raised in front of the repulsor blast while his right hand is behind him.

we have seen old blasts do more than that in the past, however, so it is not at all unreasonable. and then there is the fact that that was just a SINGLE blast. no way you can theorize that he could simply weather a dozen, 2 dozen, as easily, especially computer targetted and timed to hit in multiple places. that particular supposition is utterly ridiculous.
When have we seen old blasts do more than that? The time when repeated multiple blasts of repulsors to Thor's face was able to move his body a bit?

the ulik scan is in the respect thread, though again, if galan comes on he'll likely have it at hand. and yeah, if he can ko or take ulik out of a battle with a shot, i'd think it would do more than 'feel like rain' to thor. LOL especially if he pounds him enough times in conjunction with other attacks.
You better not be thinking about Thor Vol. 2 #81 where a two handed repulsor blast from Iron Man knocks back a chained Ulik and does him no harm. Iron Man being able to only throw Ulik of his feet doesn't bode well for him here. And seeing how he fared against Loki, I'm honestly not seeing Iron Man being much of a threat here.

you think the best he can do is stalemate? so even 50 repulsor blasts wouldn't be enough to weaken him when a single combined drax/IM/wasp blast and a couple punches weakened him to the point where WASP ALONE could harm him?? and YOUR mind is boggled?
Actually I do. Repulsor blasts have seemed to have no effect on Thor besides moving him physically from what I've seen. If you hadn't noticed, those weren't just a few punches but Iron Man batting out of his league when being amped by a lot of excess energy. A single one of those punches seemed to affect Thor more than all of Iron Man's repulsor attacks put together have.
As Superman showed us, get hit with enough power and you can be taken down by something like an exploding Gas Station. I doubt 50 Gas Stations to Superman's face would do anything on a regular occasion however.
I've honestly not seen anything in Iron vs. Thor matches to make me thing 50 or 100 repulsor blasts to the face would do anything more than annoy Thor. Especially since multiple bursts of repulsor blasts directly in Thor's face/chest didn't actually do anything besides well, annoying him.
Once again:
Two handed repulsor blasts directly to Thor's face having no effect:

Repulsor blasts once again having no effect. Tony even admits that he can't even hurt Thor (And was that a Uni-Beam attack that Thor compared to nothing more than a glancing light, or just a beam of light?):

Based on the above scans, I don't see why 4 or 40 of the above completely useless attacks would do Thor any sort of damage that could set up Iron Man for a knock out.
BUT since I'm such a nice guy, I'll say that Iron Man might win one or two based on this where War Machine possessed by Loki fight where he is able to throw around a Thor who doesn't want to fight back. Thor is of course once again completely unharmed by his repulsor attacks but I'll relent:

He was even able to hurt Thor when he flies double fisted thrusters on full at the top of Thor's head. Thor was taken by surprise it should be noted and thought he was his friend.
