im willing to wager colossus can tank those without any damage
We're talking about fictional characters. You realize that?
Well worst case scenario and we really can't stop them, we can simply nuke whichever country they're in (hopefully they're in a small country).
Completely nuke the whole place (and yes killing millions... but like I said, worst case scenario).
And although I doubt the nukes will stop them, it will at least kill everything in that place, meaning they'll have no food to eat. Last time I checked they still need food to survive.
So unless they try to swim to another country (I assume Thor as a brick can't fly), then we just starve them out.

You need.
To calm down. Bruh.
There are times to pick on Colossus that can be construed as funny.
This was not one of them.

No they can't.Apparently you know as much about the Real World as you do about comics.
I lightly studied ballistics in the past and learned that the impact velocity of a bullet is the biggest factor in penetration power.
That means with any bullet can penetrate tank steel provided that the velocity is sufficient. A jet moving at mach3 or faster shooting the lastest greatest armor piercing round can penetrate tank armor easily. This is mostly due to the insane amount of force needed just to stop a bullet this fast. Hell, many tanks possess armoring piercing rounds (HEAT or KE) that can penetrate most tanks already. There are only a few type of main battle tanks in existence that can withstand these attacks. But these tanks don't move as fast as jets do, as the reason I said SHOT FROM very fast jets.

Are you saying real world bullets are greater than comic bullets?
1000 times, yes!
not that I think they pose a threat to these two, but OMFG yes

it depends a great deal on the vehicle's armor and the round being fired
a .50 cal rifle bullet with something like a depleted uranium penetrator will pierce all but the most heavily armored vehicles
the best bet is going to be something chemical, imho
given this is the real world, real world physics are going to apply to the molecules that hold Thor and Herc together, and it is potentially possible a chemical that burns or destroys these molecules could be invented.
it would be nearly impossible to hit them with it, and it would cause terrible casualties on Earth's side, but it would be the only thing imho that might legitimately take them down.

And tank guns are massively larger than guns mounted on jets.
