Originally posted by HarbingerI agree with Bill winning the first fight. The second is harder for me to call. The Power gem is a formidable obstacle to overcome, but I'm not so sure that a blood raged Thor is capable of the focus necessary to unlock it's true potential. If he could he should've been able to easily defeat Thanos, or at least put up a much stronger fight. To the best of my knowledge the Red (rage) Ring doesn't work that way. rather than requiring extra focus it just "feeds" off of the wearers rage. In this particular situation, with these two characters I believe that the Red Ring would be the more effective power up.
Bill in the first, Thor in the second.
The ring is also limited by the user's creativity; just as you aren't sure that Thor could use the Power Gem to its fullest capabilities, I'm not sure Bill could make full use of the ring.
As for the Thor/Thanos fight, the two went from stalemating early on to Thor gaining the upper hand near the end (knocked Thanos into a wall and made him bleed a little from his mouth). It's one of the reasons Thanos busted out the energy gun to contain him.
Because the gem is going to allow Thor to grow increasingly stronger, and because Bill isn't going to drop him quickly, I don't like Bill's chances in the second fight. He'll given Thor a run, but he's going to eventually fall.
