But i digress,
The titles dont have universal applicability in comics, where you have multiple pantheons coexisting (contrary to the original mythologies, where they were mutually exclusive). For example, Thor may be the god of thunder amongst the Aesir, but that doesn't make his lightning the equal or superior of Zeus'.
Actually, each pantheon tends to have it's own individual god of 'X', so Hermes is the god of speed amongst the Olympians, while Hermod is the god of speed amongst the Aesir. Apollo is the god of light amongst the Olympians, whereas Balder is the god of light amongst the Aesir. Aphrodite is the Olmypian goddess of love, while Freyja is the Asgardian goddess of love. And so on.
There might not be an official god of strength amongst the Aesir, but Thor is essentially that for them, while you can debate whether Kratos or Hercules is more deserving of that title amongst the Olympians (Marvel Herc is stronger than Kratos, but he hasn't always been considered a true god).
