i love quasar, but he's a full tier below someone like thor.

I don't know about "a full tier below Thor", if it's strictly energy absorption, yes an argument could be made because the Q-bands are only effective against energies of the electromagnetic spectrum. However, just because the Q-bands have that specific limitation doesn't mean he's completely helpless against anyone like Thor. Classic Hal, being vulnerable to yellow, isn't a full tier below Sinestro. There's still quite a few avenues open to Quasar for dealing with someone like Thor.

1) Jack of Hearts and his Zero Fluid energies.
2) Draining Rachel with the PF
3) Draining power from the Annihilators (which included Storm Breaker and psionic energy from Gladiator) to boost his shield
4) When he was draining power from Ego the living planet
5) Draining Warlock

Those are just a few that I remember off hand.

I'm no expert on this but I think what Gruenwald refers to as the EM spectrum is everything that isn't magic. So everything above, besides Stormbreaker, would fall in that category.
