IMO Quasar and Sentry both through in and throughout suffer from CIS and PIS. A large part of CIS on Sentry's part. Granted, we "haven't" seen Sentry at his max, or near enough feats to gauge it anyway.
I'd say on the forums Quasar(Wendell) uses the bands at full potential. In comics, he rarely does. With that said,
Quasar> Supes.
Sentry> Supes.
Thor regardless would be picking up some slack, Mjolnir is the wildcard, he'd have a good fight with either character. Still, I'm going with Quas and Sentry on ths one.
What the company is saying and what the company has shown us are two different things. While he has hyped to be the best, currently his feats haven't lived up to that.
Easily? He got BFR'd as soon as Genis got tired of him, and while Photon would have defeated Thor he wouldn't have done so in such a casual manner.
True, however if Thor chose to battle Quasar than it would be a winning battle for team 2. Basically because the bands have been shown weak against magic. With Quasar down I doubt Sentry can take on Superman let alone the duo.
Well, Quasar actually says at the top of your last scan "It's my own fault! I shouldn't have held back--! ...I'll never beat him unless I pull out all the stops!" and the fight ends there really.
Don't forget Quasar learned to project stronger shields and use more powers as he went along. In Quasar #38 his shields stood up to a combined simultaneous strike from Mjolnir plus Hulk, Thing, Hercules, Cyclops' blast, Iceman, She-Hulk, Rogue, Jean Grey TP, Colossus, Sasquatch, Havoc, Vision, Human Torch and WOLVERINE'S CLAWS (OMG) before Thanos & Warlock's combined blast finally finished it. And he wasn't even maintaining that shield he was doing other things.
I'm not saying real Thor couldn't beat him, but IMO Quasar could stalemate or win for the majority. His shields can protect him from Mjolnir attacks & storm effects and he can stay out of Thor's fist range easily enough. And you can see Thor preparing a God-Blast a mile away - Quasar just flies/warps out of the vicinity before it hits, he's not a brick like Juggernaut. I think Thor would have a hard time tagging the guy.
If Sentry wins they double-team Thor. If Quasar does manage a win he then tries to help Sentry and drain Superman. Maybe.
small note: that was NOT an "inexperienced" Elvis that Eric fought.
if U note the costume he was wearing that was AFTER he had that big fight w/Maelstrom; and THAT fight was his "graduation", since afterward remade his 2nd costume into the 1 U saw there and he considered himself his own hero.
thats not to say he wins or loses now, Im just commenting on his relative lvl of exp during this fight.
True, but your basing your opinion of a comic where Thor was embodied by a human.
Also, Quasar states that his bands are basically useless against magic. When facing a character entirely composed of magic, it's hard to take the majority with a "useless" weapon.
Quasar shields may be powerful, but they'll be proven useless against seeing as Mjolnir's been shown capable of phasing through shields.
and more to the point its not like Quasar had no effect on Thor, or even Mjolnir itself seeing as how (as mentioned b4) the hammer bounced off a shield & Quasar was able to directly keep it from getting back to Erics hands.
Yes, that's it really - his hammer strikes have bounced clean off Quasar's shields on at least two separate occasions, the second time along with all the other attacks so it didn't even weaken the shield.
True, u got a point there that Quasar was holing back, but just keep in mind that he was saying all that in regards to a inexperienced EM Thor.
Good point ... But Thor really doesn't need to bash the living crap of this shields, he can easily absorb and manipulate the constructs, it's just another forum of energy to the mjinor....also i can also say that the mjinor when used right can phase through shields like Soujaboy said.
Mjinor has more advantages other than playing with the weather, like i said in my previous post, Thor should be able to absorb/manipulate the constructs. Or he can simply phase through them.
He wouldn't have a hard time tagging speedsters, he has tagged the silver surfer who is in fact many times faster than Quasar.
The same can be said for team 1, If thor wins they double team sentry for the win. Imo good match here.
I still think Thor can win against Quasar. There is really nothing Quasar can do to thor, as from the scan i displayed, Thor can break the shields physically on his own. Or he can use a easier route, use magic to absorb the constructs. Quasar doesn't pack enough fire power to put Thor down for good.
I think your forgetting that it was an inexperianced Masterson Thor who fought Quasar, and that he may not have been able to use Mjolnir to it's fullest. So my point stands, Thor may be able to have Mjolnir phase through Qusars shiled or he could simply absorb or manipulate the constructs.
