PIS could be argued Jake. Gladiator has the edge in speed reflexes, hyper fighting and all of that good stuff. Soooo....... But I still see Thor as being in control of more powerful forces than Gladiator. Not sure if Thor is stronger though, but then again when has strength been the deciding factor with guys at this level?

"With Eric dying from Mongoose’s attack, Thor pleaded with Odin for aid on Eric’s behalf. Odin reluctantly agreed to save him, but did so by merging Thor and Masterson together, body and soul"
Says Odin merged Thor and Masterson together, body and soul. Not Thor was one place and Master Thor was another.
Im lost, as I remember Masterson being Thor being the same as him being merged with Thor.
Also, from regular Wiki:
"Masterson was mortally wounded by Mongoose, and is given Thor's form and powers after the original is sealed in Eric's mind, by Odin, to save Eric's life"
I dont mean to get on your case Jake, I respect your opinions here, I just dont remember it that way. I remember Masterson having all the powers of Thor during his time as Thor, nothing really suggesting otherwise.
Not sure how it's PIS at all. Surely you wouldn't think Hulk beating up Gladiator is PIS, would you?
By feats, Thor is stronger. Not really anything to debate unless someone thinks breaking apart a planetoid/dead space rock trumps every and any strength feat Thor's ever done.
They both had the strength of Thor at that point. Thor was just buried too deep in Eric's subconsciousness. Eric had the full power of thor, there is no doubt about it.
Nevermind, I do see what youre saying about the merged Thor/Masterson and the seperate Masteron Thor, Jake (having read the Eric Masterson bio further), though I still dont see where its actually stated, during that time period, that Masterson had only a portion of Thors overall power. He sure wasnt displayed as such in the comics during this time.
What jake is talking about is Thor 459 where a freed from eric's subconsciousness thor and a mindcontrolled masterson thor went toe to toe. That was essentialy a stalemate too.
I guess you missed where Thor has easily one shot an amped Thing. As in actually one shot him (he was basically phucking dead). To say nothing of brutally destroying him in melee during First Thuner.
