Now it's about increasing strength "at will".
Anyways, it's silly to claim that a character who has an integral part of his mythos of increasing his strength through berserker rage, does not have dynamic strength. This line of thinking is not only illogical, but completely devoid of character knowledge. Instead of making ridiculous claims, just ask nicely if you were unaware. There is however the possibility of you ignoring what you probably know already.
For starters here he tries to artificially induce this berserker rage through chants instead of the usual rage taking over.

Unfortunate it doesn't work and attributes the failure due to having restrained himself among mortals for far too long. This alone should let you know that his strength is far from static and can be elevated through the level of rage he is in.
From an Avengers guidebook.
"His berserker rages increase his strength as he gets more and more angry".

When Warlock faces off against an insane and enraged Thor, he recalls his near death past encounter with Thor. An encounter where Thor was in the grip of a version of warrior madness.

Then as the battle rages on, he realizes that it is futile to physically overpower Thor and that he is even more dangerous now than his last encounter with him in a past enraged state.

Physically overpowers Durok the Demolisher before his killshot who in the past had physically dominated him and the Surfer in the same comic by reaching deep for a strength... never fully realized before!

While fighting Orlog, (Odin in disguise who had given himself 4x Thor's strength to teach him a lesson) Thor finds his own strength and ultimately wins.

Not to mention he has been in an hour long strength lock with Savage Hulk who we know only gets stronger and stronger.
Hell he's matched Kurse who supposed to be 4x stronger than him in a strength lock.

It's the nature of the characters. Thor isn't about strength. Hence the wonder woman comparison.
Goalposts much?
I replied to your ridiculous original claim.
"Nah, Thor is Marvel's wonder woman.
When the chips are down, it's Superman and Hulk who are called to smash the shit out of the big bad.
Remember Onslaught saga?"
Now you're adding Thor looking better than Hulk in strength when it comes to big stories?
No one is claiming that Thor is stronger than Hulk. That is Hulk's calling card. However defeating "the big bad" doesn't always require to be the strongest one there is. Only an idiot would think that. It's nearly as bad as Thor isn't about strength. Though he has an incredibly varied powerset, he surely is about strength. In comics he is synonymous with strength, hammer, and lightning.

Hulk was chosen to kill Thanos by the same Warlock and Starlin actively hated merged Hulk.Thanos himself said under Starlin that he avoided fighting Hulk. Never such a claim about Thor.
Hulk never appeared in that Cable story.
Good for him. Not surprised since he's a comic book powerhouse.
Like I said, he is a comic book powerhouse. Under Starlin it was stated that "he was one of the most physically powerful beings in the universe". High high praise from same writer.
Hell in the recent Thanos Infinity series of graphic novels under Starlin, Thor was the last hero standing with Thanos. Every other powerhouse available had already perished from Annihilus's attack. I'm talking about powerhouses that included Surfer, Hyperion, Gladiator, Captain Universe, Black Bolt, Firelord, Terrax, Loki, and Doom.

Haha, you seem to live in an alternate reality where Thor is competitive with hulk in strength.And with Superman.
😂
Again no one is saying he is stronger than these two. But the idea that he is not competitive in strength just smells of butthurt. We all know the real reason why you get such a titie attack anytime Thor's strength and or speed is involved. Because you think that without those two as a major advantage for you know who, there really isn't anything much left. Your insecurity knows no bounds.
Sad part is I know you will do your usual ignoring of proof.
