Originally posted by PsychotronThose lightning powers never came into play in IW or Endgame and he didn't do jack sh!t to Hela with them either, so I'm going to say they're just CGI sparkle for the kiddies and are mostly useless. The lightning isn't really a factor here, it's going to be a melee fight and Cap is superior.
Cap called Stormbringer at one point so apparently he does have control over it.
Since he has Mjolnir he should be able to handle it just fine.
We're not talking about Endgame Thor but IW Thor, and you're making stuff up.if you claim he didn't use his lightning powers in IW.
Cap is also not Hela. Does not have the same durability or healing that Hela has. Thor's lightning was able to knock Hela out for a bit. What proof do you have that it won't work on Cap?

He hit a distracted Thanos with his lightning once and killed some mooks with it. Hardly that impressive.
Cap has lightning powers with Mjolnir so I don't see why this is a big deal. You know this is going to be a melee fight. Both are fighters.

In other words, you admit that he did use his lightning in IW. Thor only had 4 fight scenes in IW, and he used lightning in one way or another in all 4 of those.
It also doesn't nullify his feats in Ragnarok where he's basically a walking lightning storm in the bridge fight.
And I already clarified we're not talking about Endgame Thor here. ThunderCap defeats Fat Thor but loses against IW Thor. Heck he probably loses against Ragnarok Thor too.

Yes, I'm admitting something I said a couple of posts ago. You got me there.
And if that lightning did something more than fry some mooks I'd be impressed.
Why would he? He has the same physical stats as Thor. He has lightning control too. And he has superior H2H feats and a powerful shield.

A single shot of that lightning was able to decimate more mooks than any single strike from any of the other Avengers. Certainly was a lot more devastating than the lightning that Cap was able to generate.
Cap doesn't have the same level of lightning control that Thor does. Not like he had shown in both Ragnarok and IW. He has not shown the ability to use it fast enough to blast projectiles in the air, spam it as AOE attacks nor coat himself with it.
If this was regular Thor we were talking about I'd be inclined to agree with you... but we're not.
And while Cap has fancier h2h feats, Prime Thor is no slouch in that area either.

Thor has been able to decimate mooks without his lightning too. They're mooks. That's what they're there for.
I'm not sure how you can judge that when Cap only used his lightning against Thanos, who is far too durable to be taken out by that. And where was the AOE in Endgame?
He's just better all around. Whenever Thor fights someone equal or superior to himself physically (Kurse, Hulk, Thanos, etc) he struggles, especially without Mjolnir or Stormbreaker. Meanwhile, Steve has held his own against opponents who are dozens or even hundreds of times stronger than him like Spider-man and Iron Man.

You keep referring to Endgame Thor when I'm not even talking about Endgame Thor. Thor used AOE's all the time in all of his movies except in Endgame. Good thing I'm not talking about Endgame Thor right?
Those "mooks" in IW were starting to maul Cap, BP, Hulkbuster and the rest of their troops. Thor came in and singlehandedly turned the tide, first by throwing Stormbreaker around then by doing an AOE lightning ground slam. So he basically decimated "mooks" that were too much for the other Avengers to handle.
Later on we see him flying around blasting multiple mooks with his lightning before smashing up a spaceship, then later on we see him clubbing mooks around with Stormbreaker and enhancing his hits with lightning. Then of course he smashes Thanos later on with his lightning before hitting him with Stormbreaker.
Cap has no lightning feats that equal those. He hit Thanos with lightning and it seemed to hurt Thanos, but then again so did Thor.
Cap has better h2h moves I'll grant you that, but he has nothing on Thor when it comes to lightning blasts.

Those mooks were only overwhelming people due to sheer numbers. In small nimbers regular humans could fight them.I feel this fight is going to be decided by H2H, not lightning.
Yes, and Thor destroyed them in sheer numbers with his lightning. He didn't shoot them one by one.
Point is, Cap simply doesn't have the feats that prove he can accomplish the same lightning feats that Thor can.
