Thor's been around longer, but he learned his skills and stuck with them.
I was duscussing this recently, about how he learned all sorts of new things when he showed up un modern times 10-15 years ago.
While i'm sure he's learned some unarmed combat, he sticks with what works for him, melee fighting.
This is kind of Ben's thing. While Thor is much better at using weapons, Ben has always fought with his fists. It's pretty difficult for me to see Thor having better skills as far as H2H goes. Ben wins based off of history.
Anyone think that during Thor's long life, he may have trained in hand to hand for longer than Bens 30-40 years of experience? If we're using experience as a reason for Ben to be > Thor that is.
"There's a difference between 10 years experience, and 1 year's experience 10 times".
Thor's a Viking who's fought as a Viking his entire long life. An effective fighting style, but still one style, and he fought with weapons a majority of the time.
Like i said, i'm sure he's learned things in modern times, but he sticks with what he knows. It works for him.
And was Thor your average viking, that might be true. He's had a little more variety than your typical drunken brawler his whole life. He's fought across the nine realms and more, and even if 90% was with Mjolnir or other weapons that's still thousands of years without it.
Experience is absolutely meaningless in a comic. A character can have millions of years experience and still get stomp in skill.
Too many examples that supports that statement.
You need to read up on Ben Grimm, guy.
He's got the speed and reflexes from before he morphed, which is why he's still an ace pilot.
You kinda dont want a brick flying you through NYC, space, other dimensions and all sorts of other shit.
