How close could thor come to bench pressing the earth once?

I'm pretty sure we all agree Thor couldn't replicate superman's earth bench pressing feat. My question is how close could he come? Could he bench half the earth's weight, a quarter of it? Or is there anyone who thinks he could replicate the feat?

I don't think Marvel would like ever prop Thor's strength feat(or any other creatures besides Hulk) like it was portrayed around silver age. Anything more than a huge building-size lifting feat might probably be considered allergy to them nowadays.

Only you don't. Thor is nowhere near that level of strength especially these days.

If Marvel had Thor replicate the feat I probably wouldn't bat an eyelash at it. Generally I think Superman is stronger than Thor by a small margin so Thor may not do it as easily as Superman did.

Just the trend at marvel.
Superman would be portrayed considerably stronger than thor which he is in any encounter like hulk and the last encounter proved it.

Im pretty sure this cut him/Newjack pretty deep. Cold blooded. I don't think any Thor fan ever thought Thor was as stronger as Hulk. I think the versatility argument is what the argument always been about.

Hercules can and has, although the only reason they wont show herc being superior to thor in strength is because thor has much more fans

I don't think Thor would even come close to benching the earth once, to be honest. I'd have trouble seeing him lift a mountain these days.

Hulk has been reeling off big feats of strength/striking/lifting/combat on a level and rate that Superman always has for probably the first time since the 70s, but I don't understand why it has to be at the expense and neglect of all the other powerful characters. :/

Who's neglecting other characters fts.?

benching pressing the earth would be impossible, you might be able to lift the weight equal to everything on earth rock water ice etc etc.

He was hooked to a machine that was generating earth weight.

I have believed that since they are written characters that if it is needed people who are based mainly on their strength can lift and or move anything they think they can.
