[B]
Captain America -- unparalleled team organization skills, leadership, will, authority, inspiration, and ability to bring out the very best in nearly everyone working with him. shield can deflect nearly anything and would make an awesome offensive weapons in the hands of Thor or Wonder Woman. Gets the nod over Superman despite lack of physical prowess because Thor, Wonder Woman, and Sersi have Cap covered in this area, and the DCnU version of Superman tends to be too aggressive
where diplomacy might be the best option. better maturity and judgement than just about anybody else on these rosters
Thor -- dimensional portals, distraction, retreats, electrical power on command, magic blocking ability, potentially able to recruit Asgardian help. And yes, he is a powerhouse if physical force is needed, too.
Sersi -- magic detecting, spells, etcetera. she is Zatanna with the bonus of superhuman physicality to protect her
Wonder Woman -- "god" mode potentially makes her the physically strongest and most powerful DCnU character. regularly possesses magic weapons and artifacts that have demonstrated the ability to teleport her and others at will and defeat even supernatural opponents. potentially able to recruit Greek Pantheon help
Aquaman -- telepathy. may have the ability to communicate where spoken language attempts would fail; possibly even mind read or control enemies. given that 2/3rds of the world is ocean besides, Aquaman is arguably the best patrol officer after Tony ...
Iron man -- advanced tech and communications. inventive fighter.
defacto leader if anything happens to Cap. satellite system gives information on everything happening around the globe and extensive offensive options as well.
Wolverine -- hypersenses can detect things that may be vitally important but missed by others and invisible to machines. good at stealth, infiltration and survival. demonstrated leadership skills as head of the X-Men. better tactician than most people give him credit for.
metal detectors would be his only truly obvious weakness ...

If you just want feats, I'd read Matt Fraction's Thor. Thor's basically a crazed maniac half the time, but he does some overly ridiculous crap in his ongoing such as stalemating Silver Surfer while injured, crashing through Galactus' head, killing the Demogorge, killing Surtur with the shadow of his own sword, etc. Fraction also had Thor essentially one shot kill an amped Thing and then one shot BFR Hulk out of orbit while not at full health or stamina in the event "Fear Itself".If you want feats and good stories, I'd recommend Walt Simonson's run on Thor, Dan Jurgens' Thor, and JMS' Thor.
But, yeah, if you haven't really read a lot of Thor and only have a few issues of his like you said, then you really don't have much of an idea of what he's done or what he's capable of.
