Correct. In the fights between Thor and Kurse, it seems that Kurse is not more than 3x stronger. 4x is probably a bit much. Thor is still easily able to hurt Kurse, etc.
DD one shot MM. Superman is at least several times stronger than Thor. Using that, everything makes sense. DD wins for several reasons.
1. He's at least as strong as Kurse
2. He's vastly faster
3. He has bony protrusions that can cut through flesh.

Point to where the 3x figure is stated.
The ONLY thing that is stated is that Kurse was greatly amped beyond 2X Thor's strength.
Than in the strength description it says he was 2x Thor's strength and then further augmented.
Kurse is somewhere beyond 2x Thor's strength, exclusively.
Period.
Stop lying.

^Kurse dominated Thor. The belt of strength evened out the playing field. The Beyonder amped Kurse further. He proceeded to dominate Thor in a similar fashion.The 3-4x amp is a pretty reasonable estimation. PG you've used far more circumstantial evidence.
.. Kurse was was briefly matched by Thor in the 90's, where his power was again specifically described as somewhere above 2x Thor's strength.
What I'm saying isn't an opinion. It's the consistently stated in comic description we've seen of Kurse's relative strength.
Kurse is somewhere beyond 2x Thor's strength. Any specificity beyond that is fan fiction, exclusively.

This post was made a while ago h1, but since you still post, you have to know that Kurse was immune to normal damage. Even damage done by Mjolnir was bypassed due to the new nature that was given to him by the Beyonder. I was going to say that if DD ran in and turned this into a slug it out yadda, yadda, but we all know that is exactly what would happen. DD would run in and begin getting his ass handed to him, because he would be taking damage while Kurse would not be, but only in a featureless environment. If DD were to get a fist full of iron, he'd beat the life out of Kurse, which would be a comic book setting.
Featureless environment it is then.

Kurse's strength level possibly maxed out at 4x Thor strength, but could be lower is what should be stated tbh. Your claim likely meets with rejection because you refuse to give Kurse a wide enough range possibility. You have to include the 4x Thor strength possibility since no number was explicitly stated on either side, while also noting that he couldn't be any weaker than 3x Thor Strength.

Scan showing Kurse being described as anything other than somewhere beyond 2x Thor's strength, then..?
I'll wait.
