Who would odin pick as thors replacement

If odin had to pick who would he pick to replace thor.

Gladiator
Hercules
Silver Surfer
Superman

Either Gladiator or Hercules

Not a chance, Superman's reluctance to kill enemies (even during war) would prevent Odin from ever picking him.

A guy that can fight.
Is good with the women.
Has a regal presence.
Knows how to handle true power?

The answer is the batman.

Out of the list, I'd say that he would choose Superman, but I think that you should have included Captain America, because that's sure to be his number one choice.

And even pre the changes Odin wouldn't of been stupid, he'd pick the guy who has won more comic battles than all the others put together.

Gladiator or Hercules would be better picks and Odin isn't stupid.

He likely wouldn't pick anyone on this list. None of them are worthy.

True, I did enjoy watching Superman fail to lift Mjolnir during the crossover.

Since supes blocked with his hand while on the ground would thor be better off letting it go?

Maybe Hercules to spite his rival Zeus. 😛

Naturally Odin would pick Volstagg.

From that list, Herc. Boyscouts like supes are definately not worthy and Glads` blind loyalty kind of disqualifies him too. Surfer might actually be a half decent pick, but he would need to spend a lot of time in the mead hall, plus weapons training.

No kidding, you did enjoy that scene.

Hercules.

Odin would begrudgingly give it to Hercules if not Silver Surfer.

I'm leaning towards Gladiator. Not because I think he is the most powerful, but for other reasons.

Hercules- Sometimes a buffoon, sometimes serious, but too unpredictable.

Surfer and Supes- very powerful, but a little too wishy-washy and definitely not with the Asgardian Warrior God mind-set. Also, no experience as royalty, as it exists in Asgard.

Gladiator, however, already has the whole warrior-duty-honor-thing. He also has spent much of his time in the presence of high royalty. He would understand how it works and what is expected of him.

Out of that lot, it has to be Gladiator. As others have stated, Surfer and Superman do not kill. Neither possesses Thor's temperament and lust for battle. So neither would be as aggressive and domineering as Thor.

Hercules, though boisterous and charming in his own way, is entirely without respect for his own father, how is he going to show any for Odin. The relationship would never work. Although, as he proved, he is a much better Thor than Thor. It's just that bit about being noble and cow-towing to Odin that'd be a big problem.

When Thor makes Odin look down in disappointment Odin looks at captain america cursing the fact that Steve wasn't his son instead.
