as for light speed tosses. Thor can throw mjolnier at light speeds and even faster.
Also, let us not forget the light speed pie throw that Thor directed at Balder. 😛
gorgon showed the ability to avoid point blank gunfire that was shot from several assault rifles at the same time , thor throwing mjolnir doesnt mean crap because mjolnir has a movement and speed of its own hence why thor can travel those great speed DUE to the fact mjolnir helps him travel those speeds, its not that thor throws mjolnir at light speed he just directs mjolnir where he wants it to hit and mjolnir does all the flying, show me thor throwing something at light speed

Thor can throw things at, atleast mach 34
show it, and even then gorgon is going to avoid it easily, gorgon would be able to avoid it point blank but he wont be needing that since he is going to read thors mind know what he is about to do and just step away in the right moment... thor is useless here but his fans keep crying

Escape velocity is mach 34 and Thor has thrown people into space before.

I can believe Thor can do it.
Lobo's kicked Superman into orbit with a boot to the rear. (Granted, Lobo is inconsistent as hell)
Alternate example: Etrigan the Demon hitting Superman to the moon.
Basically, if a character is strong enough, it makes sense whatever they throw/hit will travel really, really fast..
I'm not comfortable with arguing Thor throwing his sword to defeat Gorgon. Okay sure, based on his throwing arm (He's thrown beings out of the Solar System, tossed shit at the speed of light etc.) he should throw his sword with such speed that Gorgon's only chance is aim dodging but I think it makes more sense to argue that Thor will use his flight/leaping ability (Depending on the writer) to his advantage or ground and pound tactics.
At the same time, arguing that Gorgon's speed will allow him to own Thor is even worse bullshit. True, Gorgon is noticeably faster than Wolverine but then again so are a lot of different enemies that Thor has fought. If they were to battle in a comic, chances are Gorgon's will have enough of a speed advantage to give Thor trouble similar to Wolverine, or he might have no speed advantage at all resulting in a stomp.
Honestly, as silly as it might seem, it's more likely that someone like Sif would match Gorgon in speed in a fight instead of Thor. It's just a necessity to make a fight possible.
Anyways, Thor wins sooner or later.

now you are just putting thor out of his character, thor is a brawler and even when he knows he might lose like the hulk fights he still likes to brawl it out, now as cocky as thor is sometimes and as proud as he is he will find it very offensive to try and avoid a good fight with some meta, he will think some crap like " how dare this meta challenge me to a sword fight i willkick his ass" and this is thors biggest mistake
thor fought hulk because he thought he could win. if he knows he's fighting a telepath with a sword that can cut anything and he himself hasn't used a sword in a very long time, i hardly think it out of character to use his physical advantages. but continue to tell everyone how he would simply agree to stand there and be cut down into pieces. you're very convincing. 😄
as i said before and i will say it again .. in a sword or specially hand 2 hand fight gorgon will dominate and humiliate thor, your statement that thor can react to gorgon is baseless and contredicts the facts themselves which were presented in the comics, facts are thor is not even in wolverines league when it comes to fighting speed while gorgon is way above, also gorgon got his mind reading working for him and even if thor knows about it there isnt much he can doabout it as long as its a H2H so again your points are invalid
thor has used his hammer to block everything from bullets to lasers to tp attacks from no less than phoenix. his reaction times are FAR from baseless and i've already proven how fast he can move if he needs to. that speed feat i posted is likely>any gorgon speed feat.
his ability to react would be wholly dependent upon the writer. for all your cries (a classic) that logan was faster, it is an indisputable fact that he CAUGHT logan. language and actions contradict in that issue and you will accept whichever side happens to make your fave look better. fact is, if thor proved capable of keeping up with gorgon, it would hardly be shocking given some of his uber reaction feats. if you'd stop riding gorgon's sac and stop trying to relegate thor to an imbecile incapable of doing anything more than standing there, you might understand that he DOES have options, that a swordfight MAY not be as one-sided as you think (especially given thor's damage soak) and that this 'absolute' stance of yours is narrow-minded, childish and ignorant of the facts. learn about a character before you try and dismiss and debate him.

it takes a shuttle several minutes to reach orbit.thor has punched things into orbit before, and no way did it take them minutes to reach that far. More like seconds.
mach 34 is a bare bare bare bare minimum.
True, he actually threw the alien at FTL speed because it was stated that he'd be out of the solar system before his ships could catch up, I was just low-balling the speed so I wouldn't be accused of bias.
