Hippolyta certainly is comparable. Beat up Hercules in fair combat, and even stood in as Wonder Woman for a time.

In Supergirl's case, magic may have played a role, but it hurt Diana too. Equip Cassie, Donna and others with stuff like that, and Thor has his hands full. He really needs to open with big, exotic attacks, because a traditional fight plays into their hands.
And depending on how loose we're being with the term "Amazon", there's any number of female heroes who might be on the island training or somesuch. Supergirl, for example. That may be against the spirit of the thread though.

too be fair, diana trounced her, pretty easily, later on and it's been shown a few times that diana is considerably more powerful than hippolytra. /shrug
the problem with the amazons is they are often not much more than fodder. that same amazon attacks arc had black canary handling them 1 on 1 at times and her scream ko'ing 4 at once. numbers could get thor i suppose, enough spears and arrows, but if he flies and blasts lightning or fully charges his hammer to level the island, there isn't really anything they could do to stop him, i don't think. i thought of circe too, but she wouldn't be very likely to help, and if the gods aren't allowed to interfere (though they would, in a comic, 100% of the time) then they don't have too much of a chance imo.

Yeah, arrows would probably pierce him, but when he splits the island in half and blows the chunks away...
Isn't it a magic island?
I mean, I don't know, maybe it is just a hunk of land, but always assumed it was magic like Olympus or Asgard, which Thor wouldn't destroy so easily..

I agree in general, but I was including the "important" Amazons. People like Hippolyta, Cassie, and Donna are logically pretty threatening with divine weapons. Back them up with Amazonian Legion support, and I stand by my original thoughts. He'd need to open with something big/exotic, as just coming down to brawl isn't the best plan.
Regardless, riv said this is current Themyscira. Doesn't sound like they have much of a shot.

You could be right and it wouldn't be easy at all but Thor's got some serious striking power when he lets that hammer fly.
