Thor vs Silver Surfer: Pure Melee Slugfest

Surfer's durability is kind of weird at times but I think either Superman or Thor would take a punch better than him on average.

And I degree Superman and Surfer are clearly more durable than Thor....While Thor has a firepower advantage over them.

The fight were Durok pretty much killed Thor and Surfer had to save him? Hey at least Surfer K.O'ed Durok...counting punches now that's reaching if I recall correctly Surfer was never K.O in that fight 🙂 while Thor was... Don't see how that helps Thor's case.

Surfer durability is pretty much the best in the top tiers.

They are more durable(if only slightly)but that damned hammer....

Why does everybody forget that Thor was holding his own until Durok resorted to using the electricity from the city? He knocked out Durok by using Time Travel, which apparently has some type of effect on Durok. Thor however has actually overpowered and beaten him straight up when pushed.

Is it not the point of this thread to discover who wins in a slug fest, and in turn, who can take a punch better? How does it make counting punches reaching?

He wasn't knocked out, but he was put on his ass, and was lying on his board as if he couldn't walk I believe. It really rocked him.

Nah. I'd place invulnerable mode Juggernaut as above him. Still, he is a contender for the runner up spot.

I think it's harder to injure either Superman or Surfer than Thor on average. I never argued otherwise.

I still think either Thor or Superman would take a punch better than him. They're just tougher in general from what I've seen.

Nowhere did I argue that Thor is harder to injure than either Norrin or Superman on average. He is however tougher than Norrin in my opinion, and once you reach the point where physical attacks effect them both, I'd say Thor can take it better.

iic Thor said that none of his attack were doing anything to Durok … Surfer’s board was doing better than Thor yo. Thor tripping Durok doesn’t mean Thor was doing any better than Norrin. It would have been better if Thor was knocked out by a Durok punch than a high voltage cord? Shame really for a guy known as thunder god.

In the last issue, Thor state that every blow he struck against Durok did not affect him. Durok wasn't truly alive and did not tire so he could not truly die. That was the explanation in the story as I understood it. A bit of a Destroyer vibe going on. He could trade blows evenly, or knock him down with his attacks, but he just wasn't considered a living thing.

Based on their encounters, I'd say Durok is has the slight edge on a regular Thor in regards to strength.

Surfer's board charged at Durok -it might have zoomed around- and was logged at his throat. I'm not sure how to count that.

No, but Thor going toe to toe with Durok, trading blows evenly etc. is Thor faring better than Norirn.

When did I say that? I think it falls under the logic of powerful characters using debris. The voltage was what wore Thor out. That was the entire point of Loki's plot.

Thor

considering that Thor has won every battle against SS as far aas i know off

H2H SS goes down Thor strength feats are way beyond Surfer Durability can go either way. H2H skill Surfer has nopthing on Thor Unless someone want s to count Hitting BRB in the Back of the head as owning BRB 🙄

SS wins this.
Now if this was h2h then Thor would probably slightly edge him. But this is a slugfest, skill doesn't count.

SS is easily more durable than Thor and possibly around the same strength (based on SS's punching feats against beings of Thor level).

🙄 WOW just wow so the fact this is a Melee fight and it is stated that it is H2H only and you think a slug fest is different 😱

Unless they're just taking turns hitting each other, skill DOES count.

Isn't that is what a slugfest is, taking turns? And not putting up a defense?

That's what I thought . . .

I actually thought a slugfest was them fighting hand to hand only....
And I feel that surfers top durability is higher than thors but that Thor seems to have some kind of fast healing or healing factor to me.... And that's why he keeps going... As displayed when doom
Dissected those asgardians and Loki commented and doom that those were common asgardians compared to ones like Thor they were nothing...

And like superman who has a fast healing or whatever I think was mentioned during the death of superman issues...

But I can't remember surfer ever displaying fast healing...

Anyones in a melée hand to hand only... I'll say Thor... One of surfers best displays was against the warbound and everything that happened during the hulk saga...

Honestly I think surfers energy resistance is highest... Hile his blunt trauma isn't compare to Thor

Wow that didn't make sense that last sentence....
Surfer has the higher durability overall but Thor has the better endurance...
Stacked up thor is not only the better melée fighter but he overall outlasts surfer

thor

Strength wise, Thor > Surfer
Durability wise, Surfer > Thor
IMO, their respective advantages cancels out the others and it all comes down to skill. and Thor has more skill showings that Surfer.
So, Thor for the majority, maybe 7/10

Surfer has got much better healing than thor considering that he can use the energy in his environment to heal himself. (Using this method he healed from near death in like a panel)

Oh and Surfers blunt resistance is at the very least as good as thors ( more likely higher) and he is also overall more durable. But yeah Thor is more skilled and physically stronger so hed win in pure h2h.
