He only faced Hulk when he was complete.Also, lol at you bringing up what dropped Thor afterwards. Tank shell? Really? Let's do a comparison here. Thor withstood some hits from a pissed Hulk in the artic. Are you telling me that Hulk fist isn't comparable to a tank shell? Hulk fist > everything else that you brought up that dropped Thor. Also, might as well bring up Thor going Warrior Madness as well.
Carvster. Please read carefully my posts before you reply. First I already explained that it wasn't the gamma bomb that dropped him. He ate that without a problem. Dude collapsed just from him transporting the explosion away. Second we see the comic stating that he "may not be the thunder god he once was". It's not a low showing when the comic is specifically giving a reason for his not so god of thunderness. Looking back at it now, his berserker mindset in that fight was what kept him in it.
In the beginning of Thor #497(also happened one day after the Hulk fight), Thor thought to himself that all his powers have returned through the machinations of Leader. He was even exhibiting some of his powers like super strength, lightning, and weather manipulation. Same issue had one of his lightning shot attempts fizzle out like static.
Thor powered up by leader =/= to Thor powered up by Asgard/Odin.
Thor was not fully restored. All things considered, it's just foolish to accept that.
