I have a hard time understanding this way of thinking.First off, OF Thor tanked an attack that previously killed his classic self. Straight up fried him. He survived the attack with only minor damage.
So, he already had feats that would suggest he can take things that would've killed him before, but Bor's a no? What did you think JMS's intention was when we had Thor say that? To just confuse everyone who read it and hope they see it as hyperbole that should just be forgotten? No...It was to give an idea of Bor's power.
Thor was specifically amped from his classic levels, by the OF no less, and he's still a high herald? k...
It's still not as bad as starscream saying he was low herald at best though.
Ok, maybe we can find a common ground.
Which attack would that be? I think you don't mean Thor right?
His intention was to say that Thor got stronger, though Marvel became less "cheese" (like the comics and feats were back in the classic days) and more "realistic. The powerlevels dropped like they did during DC 90ies or Supermans Byrne era. The space feats and over the top feats became less. Back then Thor could drive Galactus away, now he is a minior factor when his daddy battles him.
Ok, let's say he is more powerful then his classic self, that's ok, fine and dandy, let's not go to classic Thors trans feats just his average or lower feats. Well, Superman amped by a blue sun or in HP DD with a motherbox and whatever else, or Mon-El amped with an GL ring are still High Heralds at best. Chars like SS, Supes, Hal or Thor can go into the Trans tier from time to time featwise but an amp doesn't mean their power increased enough to place them there permanently. Such an amp would have to be huge and what OF Thor showed wasn't "big" enough imho.
If you want a better example. King Thor with Odins powers was solid Skyfatherlevel. He also showed it. OF Thor on the other hand was powerful for this time and age in comics, but sill not enough for Trans, like PF Cyke, Colossus or the rest of that bunch.
