I provided proof. Thor has no feats that are above tanking aircraft artillery.

Your word is not proof, stop lying.

You just love trolling dont you?

Almost as much as you guys love feeding into it apparently. 👆

Thor likely faces more organized resistance from other heroes, so he's less likely to succeed. Both are pretty far beyond any Earth based militaries unless if someone can find some kryptonite, which I suppose is a possibility - so without any other superheroes Thor would be the greater threat, but with them it's likely Superman (due to having less competition and being arguably more powerful than Thor). Both could basically wipe out normal targets on a whim so that seems to be a trivial difference.

I was assuming real world Earth, if it's their own Earth. Then Thor is definitely the bigger threat as DC Earth has access to Kryptonite.

Here's some math and physics.
A M61 Vulcan can fire 0.1kg armor piercing bullets at a rate of 100 rounds per second at a muzzle velocity of about 1000m/s.
The radius of the circular tip of the bullet is about 1mm (or 0.001m).

Let's calculate the force that would be exerted on Thor's head if it were to stop the bullet in less than 1in (or 0.0254m) stopping distance. This is the distance the bullet's center of gravity travels after the tip of the bullet makes contact with Thor.

Average stopping Force = Delta KE / stopping distance
= 1/2(0.1kg)(1000m/s)^2 /(0.0254m)
= 221 tons of force

But the PEAK of this average stopping Force (more than 216 tons of force) is initially applied at the tip of the bullet the moment the bullet starts to deform.
Peak Pressure = Peak Force /Area of tip
> 221 tons/ (pi x (0.001m)^2]
= 313 million tons per square inch

So give me feats where Thor was shown to withstand pressures on his body above 313 millions tons per square inch.

Silent loves it. The rest... putting themselves through hell.

Also I'm not a big physics guy but there is almost zero chance that h1 is correct above me. Why you guys argue with that shit is beyond me

313 Million ton force from a damn bullet?

So taking the full force of a star is below aircraft artillery? Barring that, taking the Sokovia explosion is below aircraft artillery?

^ He claims it was only heat and radiation of the star he took (which in itself would be insane).

Cant remember how he justifys the Slovakia explosion.

But I wouldnt begin to try and comprehend his equations. He is a science teacher after all.

It was a heat resistance feat.
The Sokovia showing was more of a falling apart with a little explosion quality. IM was completely fine and aircraft artillery has put holes in him.

Because this board is empty and dead.

What a bullet. It would destroy the canon and probably the jet itself after being fired.

h1 sucks at math, either post a credible source that says aircraft bullets have a stopping power of 313 million tons or you'll continue to be laughed at.

Why do you lie?

The explosion disintegrated all the building around Thor and sent rocks dozens of meters in diameter hundreds of meters away.

Anyhow. Still think Superman would be a bigger threat, considering the wreckage he caused in MoS and was trying to save people.

Though they're very close in terms of threat-level, as both would be nigh impossible to take out by the world's military strength and both can easily hit and run should the pressure get to high.

I didn't give the stopping power . That isn't a real term.
Reread. If you don’t understand the math just get confirmation with another expert.

Wow! If only I stated that. You are missing a few words buddy.

Just get a physicist or an expert to review everything if you are not qualified to do so. Just don’t take my word for it.

As H1 did not provide a credible source for his numbers, they're being ignored.

Wrong! Everything was crumbling and falling apart well before any explosion. Explosion happened much later. The velocity of the particles didn’t appear very high. Therefore the explosion was relatively weak.
Also we don’t know if Thor is even there when it explodes. There was nothing to stand on when the ground crumbled after the strike. Thor had to be flying away before the explosion.
