I didnt read the particular comic you're talking about...but based on all of their fights in their history, thor has never demonstrated any appreciable speed advantage.

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.
That's a horrible argument to make when we know Thor specifically fights Hulk to test his might. Thor likes to battle and challenge himself. Call it a flaw if you must.
He was depowered in the Marvel universe since the Speed-force didn't exist, but the comic made sure that the reason for QS being able to match him was known.
The same didn't happen in the Thor/Superman fight.

hmmm you know, you can test your might and dodge at the same time. nothing compells thor to get hit even if he just wanted to test his 'might'. but good argument...not.
also, please stop posting these old ass ancient scans of thor that have little relevance to the modern depictions of these characters.
I largely ignore bullet dodging feats unless I'm forced to counter one with one of my own. Bullet dodging is a street level staple, Coleen Wing and Misty Knight can do it, it's no big deal. I'm more concerned with the other applications of speed characters display.

Yes, it's is. The scope of Wolverine's feat completely eclipses those of Daredevil or Nightwing. The fact that there are "after images," doesn't somehow equalize all the feats.

Stop, that's mean. They equalize them either by jobbing or weakening, generally depending on the power gap.
Thor can contend with Superman a lot better than Quicksilver could ever hope to contend with Flash. Why so superstar?
All I'm saying is popular characters in crossover matches will fight a good drawn out fight, like Spider-Man and Superman did, we all know Superman would destroy Spider-Man yet they used a plot device to make them "even".

I agree with you there, bullets job way too much.
Although in all honesty I can't say that Wolverine has better dodging/stealth type feats than Batman. Batman has to rely on that whereas Logan doesn't.
Except his character. Thor has made it abundantly clear that if he wants to, he can illustrate a speed/skill advantage over Juggernaut, Hulk type characters. He simply doesn't for the majority. Just like he doesn't demonstrate his power or versatility edge. Holding back and fighting opponents on their level is a pretty big part of Thor's character. It's even worse against the Hulk because it's a matter of pride and honor.
It's a hell of a lot better than your argument if you can call it that.

You can't really be serious can you? How can you read that crossover and come to the conclusion that Busiek was trying to play the equalization card?
Busiek portrayed the speed advantage like I wager most writers would if Thor battled Superman or a clone. It's there, and they'll use it briefly, but it's not going to be what wins them the fight the majority of the time.

Supes has this in his character too, but after while he'll get tired of it, and show them just how many leagues above them he is. Sadly, most only remember the former, and not the latter part of the issue.

Didn't Flash get neutralized in the fight?
