Not really, seeing as how he was only able to achieve it with the '...righteous power of Odin...knows no bounds...', previously when he was using his own strengths he was unable to best desak/destroyer. this statement alone implies that Odin is in a different class altogether.
Originally posted by khalidaxNo, it was still the odinpower until another writer termed it the thor power in his current series. Both characters wield the same power but choose to use it differently. Odin doesn't wield Thor's hammer so he isn't capable of this.

I just hope you locate your backbone.
'we cannot lean on strength alone. In these times , we must act with wisdom! I must seek the wisdom of Odin, for it was my fathers greatest strength!' -king thor
I believe Odin's experience and wisdom wins him this fight. Odin has many strengths, if this is his greatest, and since king thor lacks this, i don't see how KT can compete. He is unable to best Odin.
He lacks the knowledge of how to use his magical abilities, all the millions of spells Odin must know! Strength alone is not enough.

There's some ambiguity to whether it's the same power that is just passed down over generations, or a different power source(?) completely.
Bor still had his power, yet recognized the odinpower, meaning each generation had a unique 'power'.
whereas in the comic you mentioned, it's just one type of power, passed down, eg odinpower becomes thorpower.
so you're saying he can't do the same with gungir? Odin made mjolnir for gods sake, ofc he's capable.

Odin has never shown capable of destroying the destroyer in the same manner as King Thor did here.

For some reason i see more than wisdom discerning the outcome of this battle
KT (the character who lost an arm to wolverine) doesn't have enough feats to compare against Odin's mountain of feats. He has one impressive feat, which came out of nowhere, previously he was losing the fight, 2v1!, then all of a sudden, using the 'righteous power of Odin' he was able to pull some PIS. You need to have several feats to establish a general power level, and sadly KT only has the one, therefore that feat seems like PIS to me.
I also see odin removing thors ability to wield mjolnir. Severely weakening him, and as we know, thor does not have the enchanting knowledge to pick it up again.
