Nova, Iron Man and Captain Britain vs Thor

Summon some badass lightning that flattens the entire battlefield (and would be inavoidable), melee OHK them if they come close, soak up any energy directed his way and redirect it back at them. Even current Tony dies in like 2 not-holding-back attacks. Britain follows suit shortly after.

Graviton has been shown at team-wrecking Trans. levels before. Having trouble with him is not an insult.

We could also talk Godblast, which is valid with current Thor.

I'll deal with this later tonight.

Digi, you do know that with all of this credit you are giving Thor, you have to give it to the team as well. This isn't in character for Thor to fight like this and if each is using their abilities to the best, that also goes for Nova and Ironman who is just as versatile as Thor. Him being attacked simultaneously in a versatile manner by both would more than likely drop him, especially if they are fighting in the same fashion Thor is fighting.

Tony can go invisible and attack Thor in this state while Nova unleash his high Herald power as well at Thor.

This isn't a fight for Thor to win.

Gravimetric shield around teammates to protect from the lightining strike, any energy directed at Nova or Tony could be absorbed and redirected back. So I guess they play table tennis until someone falters lol. And Im not even sure if the lightning would even be harmful to the current version of Brian. It might just power him up lol. Melee is obviously Thor's game so I won't contest that too much.

A god blast? To deal with Iron man, Nova and Brian? I don't see goldilocks going that far. However if he does, then I'll have to invoke Nova's "galactus event" level of shields to protect his team from a devastating attack like a god blast.

To say that Tony or CB get dealt with in 30 seconds is, well... I can't agree with that at all. But yeah, Fraction 's Thor is a beast.

I wouldn't say that they're as versatile as Thor in the least. As an example Bendis Thor can teleport opponents away before they even know wtf happened. Nova hasn't displayed bfr on that level to my knowledge. But they are each fairly versatile in their own ways lol.

Agreed.

I need the Boromir meme here. One does not simply win an absorption battle with Thor. He can amplify energy redirected at him and send it back at least x10 (and x100 depending on which writer is to be believed). And Mjolnir is pretty much the biggest absorption plot device in comics. The feats are too numerous and incredible to list.

Forum battle, so it's irrelevant. If he needs to use it, he can. Its most recent showing put down Ego for a time. It's got the goods. Nova can't match it and, I'm guessing, can't absorb it.

People have no memories. The most powerful Thor was portrayed was arguably "classic" when he was regularly dipping into his more exotic powers. I can discount everything he's done recently and not change my stance. However, we don't discount Fraction Thor which, again, isn't > what he's capable of when fighting intelligently and brutally.

Anyway, when he's let loose, he's taken out people at his own level with melee blows or lightning strikes. One meaningful "Skraka-BOOM!" and Tony's armor is rebooting for the rest of the fight.

Are you using movie versions or something? Tony can use his abilities to their best and still get nuked in 2-3 attacks.

You can argue interpretation or something here, but I'm aware of both of their respective best feats in each department. Thor's in another league. It's Nova v. Thor with a brief sidetrack for Thor. If Nova can capitalize or delay the 1v1 long enough, he can win. If not, Thor wins.

Oh really? Not to be facetious, but I thought that characterization played a role in this as well. I mean Nova has instantly deputized people before on more then one occasion, but it's not necessarily the norm for him to do so.

Regarding god blasting Ego, if you're talking about Thor's most recent Journey into Mystery appearance, I don't recall him unleashing a god blast. He only considered doing it but was stopped short of doing it. All we have there is his commentary about what it could possible do to Ego. He then tries to get to Ego's core to take him out, however he gets swatted away by Ego's psionic essence.

Ok cool. Nova has Tony and Brian distract Thor while Nova uses his speed to get behind Thor. Nova then blasts him in his head at point blank range with this...

That blast put Ego out for about 4-5 issues.
