How fast is Thor?

How fast do you think Thor is?

There seems to be two trains of thought, one being that he's practically peak human and the other that he is FTL.

More than a long winded debate where Abhi eventually defecates on the sidewalk outside Rage's trailer I'm just curious as to how fast people consider him?

Perception and movement I suppose, with and without Mjolnir.

Fast enough to land a shot, not fast enough to be the difference maker in his favor.

Significantly slower than quicksilver in perception/reflexes.

Roughly around wolverine or at best spiderman levels. Even Marvels editorial places him there.

He has blocked bullets and caught mortar shells and such. He has never done more complex, lengthy tasks like build/repair an entire city or town in seconds.

At best I remember a silver age feat where he built a little fort/tower with bricks really quickly by himself, but even that was implied to have taken some time, at least a few minutes. Still a super humanly fast feat.

He may have fights with Gladiator who has legit ftl reaction feats but fights with speedsters means little by itself in comics. Even the x-men would be ftl if that were all it took, Batman too.

Jane Thor has a complex speed feat.

She moved fast enough to melt a scalpel. Super sonic level stuff.

Nothing better than odinson's tower building feat.

I don't get what you're implying here with Bats

That if fights with high end speedsters in comics were all the evidence it took to be considered that fast then Batman's list of accomplishments are likely well up there with Thor.

He's a bad example to use imo.

He's pretty fast. I think I remember he was fighting Firelord in front of a bunch of people and the people thought there was an earthquake or something that was causing all the damage because they couldn't see the combatants.

noone should ever use Wayne as an example except to troll

but this is correct

This reminds me of the MANY MANY Thor speed debates on CBR.

Some there tried to act like he was this massive FTL speedster, that he could react to Superman, etc

It was adorable. I think we ended up settling on "between Spiderman and Quicksilver" levels of speed.

Didn't he dig a ditch at superspeed?

You mean this feat?

It's funny cuz, due to the CBR arguments, I knew exactly what he meant. It was Thor digging the ditch, but notice the "almost faster than mortal eyes can see".

Not that impressive, but impressive for Thor.

Thor is not a speedster the same way let's say Mangog is not one either. However, every now and then they have showings that are far beyond a human's ability to move. But like I said, they won't be zipping around in super speed as if they all of a sudden gained powers from the speed force. That's not their thing.

Wasn't Thor among a whole group of people Quicksilver blitzed in House of M? Or am I thinking of someone else?

Wait no I think the House of M thing didn't have Thor, but it had Spider-Man. This was because of debates where people said in fights Spidey had tagged Quicksilver, in order to show when he gets seriously he can bltiz Spidey easily.
