Angry Fraction Thor via matching a Hulk who could destroy primary admantium, and destroy an Asgardian hammer. Although the comments and the passing out made no sense, but still. It was a pretty decent feat in retrospect.Fraction Thor is the highest written Thor since the 80's
Thor wasn't passed out but he was pretty much exhausted. Not unreasonable, after all the other shit, trading that final blow with Nul and overpowering him was too much.
He also still had the World Tree wound so he couldn't have been at a 100%, whether it had stabilized or not (Some argue he was placating Loki which I admit would make sense).

When he fought Surfer he fought for like 3 issues straight under Fraction, and that included the mega hit against Galactus. He wasn't even showing signs of tiring.

True, Thor's stamina is legendary and Fraction is aware of that. Besides the arc you mentioned, he had Thor fight an undying Legion for Forty Days and Forty Nights without any pause with ease in that Ancient Asgard mini. Also had him take an Asgardian weapon through the heart with no problem.
If the World Tree wound was actually affecting him, it'd make more sense. It'd also make that stretch of time one good stamina showing.
Originally posted by Rage.Of.OlympusYa. That's just Fraction too. He's got the Ultron Unlimited arc, fighting Hulk for an hour, the whole Blood and Thunder Arc, the Dark Gods arc, etc.

Was it ever actually explained what that did besides "Hurt"?

Yea, Thor's got tons of stamina showings. I'd have liked it better if he had passed out from the collision instead of just wearing out.
I think it was supposed to be killing him, it started as a gash and was getting a lot worse. It seemed like a big deal in the beginning of the arc but then he fought Surfer/Galactus and he was like whatever.
I guess it's a testament to his stamina if anything. I'd find the lack of mention very suspect (The wound was only brought up at the end of Fear Itself) but Thor seemed to forget about the pain and shit it was causing him whenever he was in a fight even during the Galactus arc.
Originally posted by Rage.Of.OlympusIt seemed completely pointless after the initial shock. I figured Fraction tried expanding on it later. Seems I was wrong. Some beast coming out of Thor would have made sense though, or a portal. Bring Desak back through it without explanation... I could see it.

I guess it's a testament to his stamina, but it was only mentioned after Thor's death after that arc (Although Odin's comments about wounds that never healed could have been in reference to it). Fraction put the ground work for a future plot and seemed to have just forgotten about it after some highlighting.

I think he might have been sucked into the wound/consumed on his pyre but I'm not entirely sure. I kind of skimmed through that area.
Better than the dangling plot Fraction's left behind.
Originally posted by Sr J-BiebI think, in his early showings, Bi-Beast ended up getting caught in a cave-in and knocked off some sort of platform into the sea and blown up in an explosion.
I don't remember Savage Hulk ever knocking out Bi-Beast on his own outside of the recent Pak story. I might be missing something, but I doubt it.He's beat him with others however. I believe it was in the 2001 Defenders series.

Fair enough, they just entered the room.I won't really argue if you think Bi-Beast came out looking stronger for the majority of the first fight but he was promptly but down when Thor cut loose. I'd wager, even without Mjolnir he would have gained the advantage in the end, Thor loves his comebacks.
Oh, you're not talking about Thor holding back. Here you go:

Lol at him overpowering Nul. Nul didn't even have to swing his hammer to beat Thor. Nul was in another class over Thor.

He one-shot BFRed him with a blow powerful enough to send him into orbit while being less than at 100%.
😐
You can downplay that all you like, but the fact of the matter is that Thor was able to hit an amped Hulk out of Earth's atmosphere with a single blow while injured. Fraction-Thor might be a raging swearing maniac, but he's beastly.

So you are going to sit here and tell me that the attack Thor used on Nul was nothing but physical force. Is this what you are telling me Jake?

What? They swung their hammers at each other, and Thor won the exchange.
Lol...Thor charged and Hulk glowing like a Super Saiyan. The entire city block is filled with lightning...a big a** Chaos King blast comes from the sky, Nul is in the air. MUCH more than a hammer swing was involved in that one scene. Thor did something I have never witnessed him doing in a comic. He used every ounce of his power to bfr Nul and passed out doing this.
Nul then bounce up after hitting the planet, still at 100% and had enough power to shed Uru and Adamantium with one hand. Nul was on another level. Thor even admits this.
Originally posted by carver9If Nul is just a fraction of an aspect of the Serpent's power and Thor defeated the Serpent, doesn't that make him above Nul?
