I have been seeing numerous of thread derailed because of this (I'm not going to lie, I was one of the peeps).
Who is faster?
All 3 of these character have been presented in hundreds if not 1000s of comics so there are and should be enough feats to back each person up.
No using another person feat to aid another person in this thread (Bill, Thor - Wolverine, Sabertooth, Spiderman, Venom).
Please don't resort to "since he fought character "a" that means that he can fight at light". If you claim this, please prove how fast that person was moving against character "b".
Thor is faster in both combat and straight line speed than both Wolverine and Spiderman. By a lot IMO to the point where it is stupid to even debate it.
He is at least 50 to 60 ft away. A guy shoot a bullet at him, he side steps the bullet and actually look at the bullet while it past and blitz the guy instantly from 50 ft away.
Gender: Male Location: Kicking pigs out of the screen.
That doesn't sound so bad. It would seem like Thor would be faster though, but he hasn't been portrayed as "leaps and bounds" beyond them in combat speed. Unless I missed something.
And yet he match spiderman speed consistently while fight next to eachother and against. He also display such speeds against his own rogue who are all roughly around spidermans speed for the most part. Oh he then on top of that he match parker rogues speed as well.
People can keep dening it, but honestly it come to a point were it just words and the evidence is far to overwhealming.
Can't be judged fairly imo. Look at it from a powerset and playing field point of view. Martial artists operate in a very different way and are written in a way to up their offensive output to beyond a level capable by US the reader. This makes us look at them and say wow, that was a cool ass feat, did you see Cassy Cains bullet dance? Awsome feat for an MA/Street comic, you wouldn't find that type of feat for Silver Surfer. It's not that he isn't capable, but he just operates and is written in a different way. By feats Batman can go toe to toe with Spider-man. Deathstroke can go toe to toe with WonderWoman (for a given value of Toe to toe).
This is because they have a shared written style, cqc action orientated, skill orientated moreso than a High Herald.
same works in reverse to. Because they dont have the power out put that thor does, they don't have an opportunity to face individual like Silver Surfer, gladeator ect.
When Thor lost his powers, he didn't seem to have any trouble keeping up with Steve during their running battle against gunmen.
Writers just tend to lower the power/speed/IQ of top tier characters when they face street level people....if they didn't, the fights would't last a page.

I don't know why some of you are going on about being right and winning. Rob and Impediment were in on this gag because I PMed them. Silent and Rao PMed me and figured I changed the post. I highly doubt anybody thought Quan made the post, but simply played along just for the lulz.
When pitted against Thor or fighting a common foe together with Thor, Marvel will play up the weaker characters so as not to make them "useless" in the story.. One of those things played up is speed and quickness.. But when it's time for Thor to stop humoring the "mortals", his other worldly feats should speak for themselves.. It's just simple as that..
