I'm assuming Starscream wants us to be aware of this stipulation he added later in the thread.

If Thor is fighting smart and is aware of they can do, as the OP later specified, Thor's chances are very good here.

I said he knows his opponent's powers and will fight smart...but that doesn't mean he'll fight completely out of character either.

I feel like thor wouldn't just fly and lightning zap the cheetahs...no honor or fun in that for him. And if one thing thor relishes is a good battle!

well then that would be a contradiction

I'm of the opinion that if Thor knows these guys are around his level physically and much faster, Thor wouldn't attempt to stand there and brawl with them. I don't think he's going to start whipping out force fields and anti-forces and Godblasts left and right, but I imagine he's going to start to control the battlefield via weather manipulation.

fighting smart means he's not gonna forget all his powers...but doesn't mean he ain't gonna get his hands dirty either, I know thor relishes a good battle.

thing is, when I said he knows their powers, he knows that they're fast and has close to cl100 strength...not necessarily exactly how deadly they are (ie their feats against superman or WW)

so what do YOU think constitutes thor "fighting smart" ?

he'll still fight melee, but he'll use lightning, he'll use hurricanes, he'll use hammer toss, etc all mixed in. now if after awhile he realizes the cheetahs are too much, then he might go cheese on them, provided he can still do so.

so wait...he uses lightning after all?

thor ftw according to you

thor ftw according to you

yes he will, Im just saying he's not gonna fly super high and just blast them with lightning the second the fight starts as some suggest

The sad thing is just before WW's retcon she was basically becoming Thor even had lightening attacks.

yeah, context.

thor wouldn't do that at the start of a random battle with enemies he's never faced before.

I really liked pre-JMS Wonder Woman. Gail Simone on the title was pretty cool.

How many versions of Cheetah have there been? Because it seems like everyone is just talking about two.

4, iirc. And only Sebastian and Barbara really matter, tbh.

Four, but the first two aren't in the league as the two post-Crisis ones. Heck, the first one didn't even have powers.

You've got two divine champions, one metahuman, and one evil lady with pet cats.

Lol, pet cats.

Now I fully expect for someone to include the cats in a strategy. Something along the lines of that he wouldn't harm defenseless kitties, they could distract him etc.

Where's this smart Thor coming from? It wasn't in the stipulation so CIS still applies.

Does that mean we include Minerva when she was amped by the goddess of vengenance (she even was given wings)

Originally posted by psycho gundam
yeah man, thor's CIS is the deciding factor.

odds are he takes this furry lightly to his misfortune

Starscream mentioned it on the first page. He knows of their powers and is fighting smartly.

And then in Superfriends, they took away her cats.

Oh, yea! There's also a brand new Cheetah in the latest issues of WW (who seems to be channeling Minerva, she's part of a trio of Amazon villains who are dressed in mimicry of pre-altered timeline WW villains, but isn't actually transformed). She seems like she's probably around NuWondy level.

Still doesn't really alter the equation, of course.
