Thor too.I've never seen anything under the HotU do what Thor did to a Celestial. Sure Invisible Woman cracked a Celestials shell, but the excuse was that her force fields are of the same energy field or whatever as their shells. Thor didn't need anything like that, he brute force destroyed Exitar's skull which was said to be even stronger than Exitar's outer shell.
I hope you are not equating blunt force trauma with energy projection.
How do you know how strong a celestial's armor is against blunt force trauma? It may not be stronger than adamantium for all we know. It may be made out of a very durable material (not indestructible though) that can absorb and channel energy very well. Thor once used all of his strength to destroy adamantium and could only manage to put a very small dent in adamantium (the scan showed no dent though).
Thus we must conclude that adamantium is stronger. Also Thor was not only using the belt of strength (which doubles his strength) but he was using a FREAKING HAMMER. Try busting a diamond with your bare hands. With an ordinary sledge hammer it is easy peasy lemon squeezy. That means Thor's natural strength only contributed to less than 20% of the feat. Over 80% of the feat was due to the belt (doubling Thor's strength) and the FREAKING HAMMER.
