Ok, at the request of Rage of Olympus, Nova Prime vs Thor... Battle takes place in outer space. Nova Prime is at full power. Thor doesn't have Mjolnir. No bfr. Who takes it?I gotta see this.

On another note, I just noticed something I never have before in that fight. It's the blue cosmic like energy emanating from Rulk
the instance when he's jumping could be him going through the atmosphere

Heh. It's a bush league thread I know. Believe me I didn't want to. However...

The genesis of this. Originally it was all tongue in cheek. Unfortunately somebody wanted to take it here, so I obliged them just for the lulz.

It's one of those things that just happened I think. Somewhere down the line writers seemed to just assume he doesn't need air I guess. I'd wager it was somewhere around the late 80's. There's also this:

Don't forget the Secret Avengers Serpent Crown Arc when they were on Mars and Valkyrie, an Asgardian, didn't need a space suit or oxygen to survive there.

http://comicboards.com/app/image.php?msg=thor-2008073023544867&att=Untitled-5.jpg&fullsize=yesA hint for the future energy absorption reveal? At least a hint of something else being up.
2. Scan pretty much also background because in the 2nd panel there is no blue energy on Rulk but suddenly behind Thor after he hit him.

Oh I see it. I guess it must just be ambient cosmic radiation...or something.

Nvm.
Loeb and Breevort hinted at other shit going on in this fight besides strength at the time and one of them mentioned that if you look closely enough, you'd see it. Guess I'm just missing it or it's the over the head wielding Mjolnir scene.
Originally posted by Rage.Of.OlympusOut of curiosity how many do you think he could take before the blasts start to have an effect? Also, what do you believe would happen if Prime engages him at close range?
He could hold his breath for a very long time back in the day but I don't believe air is a concern currently for him anymore.Thor doesn't need Mjolnir to withstand energy blasts from Nova Prime.
----------
Is Thor willing to use his energy based powers and more versatile capabilities? If so, he wins in a direct fight unless Nova Prime uses a Stargate or some such. No Mjolnir = No teleportation = Susceptibility to battle field removal.
Limited to being simply a brick who can't fly (It's not consistent across the board) Nova Prime has the energy output to wear him down eventually I guess, if he's intelligent enough to keep it at long range.

Fair enough I guess.I see. So in your opinion Thor is so much more powerful, that even sans Mjolnir he'd "rip apart" a fully amped Nova Prime?
I think Thor's more powerful. That doesn't mean the gap's very large.
In close combat, yes, I think Thor would tear apart Richard if he tries a head on approach.
Let me put it this way: It'd be in his best interest to stay out of Thor's reach.
Assuming he's grounded and not using energy attacks.

Agreed
