I dont think it matters...Reason being, when it melted Thor into goo, a normal human was at the controls...
Thus the difference in power between the Herald Destroyer and it when it melted Thor was negligible...
Or, in fact the Destroyer was less powerful. Like the comics show.

PIS isnt allowed in a forum fight...
Based on the fact that the Destroyer was not depowered and that that showing was far, far, below its average, the Thing fight was absolutely a PIS showing and is not allowed...
As a result, we have to use its average, and on average, the Destroyer is way beyond Superman...

What are you blabbering about?
I never said the Thing was formidable...Thing is a meta...several notches beneath Thor.
Thor one shot killed an amped Thing with ease...

Iirc, he was empowered by Galactus, not a soul. There's your in story explanation.
Further, I determine this thread's parameters, and this thread has Destroyer while a Herald, exclusively. That is what I am interested in discussing.
Any reference to non Herald era showings for Destroyer is trolling.
Stop trolling my thread and get back on topic.

😂
Even the mod questions your parameters...
He calls for averages as well; since me and Pr seem to be on the same page as pertains this, is he trolling as well?

Which is indisputable evidence that the Destroyer was jobbed out to Thing...
Being empowered by a normal human, it could melt Thor into goo, but cant beat Thing while being empowered by Galactus!????

It wasn't PIS. The Destroyer was operating at a significantly lower level due to not having an actual soul inhabiting it. The idea that Galactus could do this with his power alone was awesome, because it goes outside of the parameters of how the Destroyer was intended to be used in terms of animating it. The Thing basically defeated a puppet.
Next person to speak for me or accuse anyone out of trolling in anything other than a report, gets a warning.

How many appearances does this version have?

Reread Thor 300....
Its base level of power was tremendous...
So unless Galactus depowered the Destroyer, it jobbed to Thing...
^ Not many appearances, I think it was about 3, but I could be wrong. The Destroyer was significantly weaker, not in durability, but in function. I think that the Rhino could have given it a decent fight TBH. Not at all what I thought when I first saw that Galactus had possession of the unit. It was one of those WTF moments when you realized that it wasn't as formidable you assumed it to be under the power of Galactus.
No...
The Flame tells Thor the Destroyers origin story; how the Destroyer possesses a fraction of the power of every single Skyfather on Earth...
In otherwords, all the Skyfathers gave up a fraction of their power to make the Destroyer as powerful as possible...
Edit: but yeah, Asgard combined do enter the Destroyer during Thor 300; I'm making it clear to you all how powerful baseline Destroyer is and it losing to Thing was PIS...

They gave a portion of their power to make it as powerful as it is, but it still requires an actual soul to make it function optimally. The evidence shows that without an actual soul to animate it, that it operates at significantly lower levels. Galactus didn't actually place a soul inside of the unit, but instead he placed a sliver of his power inside of it. No one knows how much power Galactus placed in the unit, but apparently less than the power that a soul. Let's not rewrite the book, let's instead go on the assumption that it functioned like a very durable remote control puppet.
