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

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.

...

In case I have to spell it out: it's basically the same exact situation DCnU Superman was in right before he did it, like psycho gundam said. Like the situation Gray Hulk was in before he busted an asteroid twice the size of the Earth. Like the situation Thor was in rbefore he contained a Life Bomb's detonation that would wipe out 1/5th of the universe (and as a reminder, that wasn't hyperbole, as another Life Bomb detonated and actually wiped out 1/5th of the universe on-panel). Like the situation Scarlet Witch was in right before her Chaos Wave wreaked havoc across the Multiverse.

In short, this has all happened before; it'll all happen again.

If Thor did it, it would be outrageous. It would be rather unprecedented as it would be well beyond anything he's done in the last 2 years, let alone the last 2 dozen years, etc. And yea, one could easily see Thor having issues with lifting a mountain barring said feat. It would also be completely gratuitous and likely create problems problems with consistency almost immediately since he's clearly capable of being beaten down ignominiously by beings who physically don't approach such levels of strength.

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.

Basically.

Has Thor replicated or come close to replicating his lifting of the Midgard Serpent? I remember the panel showed the serpent encircling the earth a few times...

I don't think so. The best strength feat in recent times that comes to mind is him and Beta Ray Bill holding up Asgard, and Thor also had the Odinforce in that instance.

He cant do it not even with 10 scoops of N.O. X-plode.

Bahahaha. Wuchoo know bout N.O. X-plode? U meat head!

Used that shit to bench press Earth couple times...uhuh

i would honestly be relatively impressed if Thor could bench press Asgard by his lonesome. Not a chance he bench presses the earth or even half of it based on current portrayals

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 would like for Marvel to do a strength test with the upper tier beings...something similar to what Superman went through. They recently did one with Hulk but I want to see one with people like Colossus, Thor, Nova, etc...

I agree.

The rest should get something akin to when PreFlashpoint Supes/MM/WW combined forces to pull the earth.

The closest I can think of is when Kang used his tech on classic Thor that put the weight of half a planet on Thor. It brought him down but to Kangs surprise. Thor was playing possum and easily got up iirc. IMO that's why isolated feats are not as good as direct comparison feats.

no we don't. dcnu superman doing it stunned every single superman fan who ever saw it; it came out of nowhere

While that may be true, people would be less stunned with Thor doing one rep (like op states) as opposed to Superman doing it for five days straight and asking "that's all you got"?.
