Yes after Civil war when Thor was pissed cause they cloned him.

The iron man/ she hulk... Back when she hulk tried to punch the silver surfer and hurt her own hand in the process instead and norton dint flinch....
Before she went and upped her strength by increasing her human strength?.... Yah...
When Tony went against sentry it lasted like six panels. Tony he raced away for three panels. Sentry decides to go after Tony in like panel 4 and by panel 6 he had Tony laid out... Tony survived only because he later hacked cloc... Whig messed with bobs mind... Way to leave out just about everything and take it all out of context...

IIRC, Stark was hesitant in the first panel but began attacking Thor and was pissed as well. He was also getting beaten down as I remember. Still, that's the best he has done against Thor in like, ever.
Thor is still >>>> Iron Man, even the current version. Points to Mangog. He has a habit of limiting himself against opponents unless shit is really hitting the fan.
For what it's worth, I believe JMS either intended that to be: (a) Classic Thor or (b) A Thor who was operating at classic levels. That's the only logical conclusion I can come to.
He performed about as well as one would expect against a non holding back Thor. He has always been noticeably inferior.

Gender: Male Location: Planning to take over the WORLD!
in the past, hulk NEVER owned IM. classic IM ko'd classic hulk, in fact. he stalemated him in that stupid hulk-armor.
this is a classic match up. tony could slug it out for a while but he's certainly not winning it that way. he does have a huge variety of options though. i'd say if he's smart, and uses all his weaponry he'd take this more often than not. assuming standard, non-wwh. if hulk is still currently at that level of strength it would be tough for tony.
He shrugged off Thor's blast and his hammer strike, then he got pissed. Prior to that he was asking him what HE has done to him.
He is.
I know, I read the dialogue... "you've been working out?/no, the only difference is I'm not holding back this time". Thing is, Straczynski came up later with that Bor issue and we saw how much OF amped his durability. So it can be easily argued that's how he no-sold repulsor blasts.
It was definitely a good showing for stark but if Thor cut loose, I'd wager on it being #3 all over again.
What's your definition of shrug off? I don't remember him being visibly damaged but I'm pretty certain he was getting knocked around and was loosing. IIRC, Iron Man stopped questioning Thor after like the first panel and even immediately attacked Thor.
Then we're on the same page.
I don't see why you'd need to. Thor has been unharmed every single time his repulsors have struck him in the past.
Most probable in-continuity reason: Thor was not using the Odin Force to augment his abilities against Stark.
Most probable out-of-continuity -i.e. the real- reason: JMS did not intend Thor to return with the Odin Force and it was reintroduced in the second arc.

Meant that Tony withstood the attacks, not that he stood here and tanked them, of course. Stark was clearly being knocked around on that page.
Aye.
Every single time? I could swear I've seen him in classic red and gold armor shooting Thor in the head with *some* effect at least. I think it was at point blank, though. Anyway, Thor was never even pushed by repulsors or anything? Against Extremis repulsors he didn't even budge.
If by tangling you mean getting smacked around until finally resorting to the cloc thing.. Then yes he get tangled....

Hey Rage, I know this is kinda offtopic, but is there any reason on why Thor is so powerful nowadays? he doesn't have the Odinpower anymore it seems... did he got an upgrade or something?
