How far does Thor make it?

10.

7 should be below 5 and 6 no? And 8 should be below 2 I think. But anyway I don't see him beating Iron Man, Namor, Danvers, She-Hulk, AND Thing in his unworthy form. All of them aren't all that incredibly far below him normally. I mean yes he'd beat all of them alone for sure but that team up is mad powerful.

How strong is his Axe?

@shot It killed two Celestials

This is really out of order.

ends at 4 or 6

Clears. For the sake of taking the general consensus of him being slow into account I'll come up with two arguments.

1. Even without Mjolnir he is still way too versatile and powerful for any of these guys. He can still ,since he has no morals here, spam lightning and AOE attacks and with his striking power combined with Jarnbjorn should decapitate anyone here maybe except Hulk and Herc

2. Since this is morals off, Thor speedblitzes everybody to death. Yes you heard right. Thor Will Blitz. Thor has many super speed feats and 5 of them(more or less) involves speedblitzing and I'm not talking about bullrushing. All while ,again, spamming lightning of course.

Could stop at 2

Stops at Nolan Batman. He dodged an AK47 in a dim narrow tunnel.

@allstarsuperman: Wut.

@sheenlantern: Elbow-Fu FTW bro

Thor is much stronger than any of team 5 even without his axe.

Quite a lot of 4 depends on what level of tech Steel happens to be packing.

Definitely not.

Can anyone explain why Wolverine and X-23 are so far up in the list?

Why is IW so low?

Stops at 10 he isn't beating hulk without mjhnor (i cant be bothered to type right :p)

May stop at 8, more likely at 10.

Axe was fail safe against celestial armor. It may not do other guys such harm probably.

clears unless anyone here is more durable than a celestial

Could stop at 6 or 9 but definitely stops at 10. Hercules is Thor's physical equal and better in skill but Thor would then employ lightning bolts to even the score just like he did in Blood Oath against a drunken Hercules' headlock. Caused Herc quite a bit of pain from what I remember.

He'd have more trouble with Hercules than Black Bolt though IMO. Herc should be Round 9 whereas Bolt should be Round 6. Granted, Bolt could go for a one hit KO with a voice that has one shotted Hulk and Gladiator before but he'd only get one shot doing so. After that, his electron reserves are drained and if he hadn't KOed Thor by then, it's over for Bolt.

But I can't see him beating Hulk without Mjolnir. With it, I'll back Thor for a slim majority always since the hammer is far too versatile, powerful and gives Thor at least an equal, if not superior striking edge to Hulk. Without it, Thor is completely outclassed in every way outside of piercing damage and maybe versatility due to his weather control. Hulk is stronger, hits harder, is more durable, moves faster in combat speed and regenerates faster from damage. Unworthy Thor isn't clearing this gauntlet.

Could stop at herc or Blackbolt, he gets stomped by hulk.

@bflynn316: they're the definition of 'brick busters', their powersets are ideal for dealing with people like thor. They have the potential to avoid his hits and really mess him up.

Thor cuts off all their heads.

His lightning alone should get him to Hulk, and even then Hulk hasn't really fought a morals off Thor using only his weather manipulation, just an in character one who enjoys to brawl or offers only few gale and lightning after many encounters. Starting 50 ft apart it will be difficult for Hulk to close the distance in order to do real damage with his fist, whatever element is used will be average to Hulk making its way up. I'd favor Thor to edge it out slightly, as long as he goes full out on Hulk while keeping in position and for a prolonged time.

Makes it to 10, arguable whether he beats Hulk or not.

How is Hulk tanking attacks from a Axe which kills Celestials.

@laflux: he's dodging it, or blitzing thor and disarming him, or stunning him with a thunderclap and disarming him, or catching the hilt like he's done with mjolnir, or... Well you get the picture.

Hulk has never blitzed Thor before, and honestly while he's faster, I don't really think he's going to be fast enough where that's an option. He's not Spider-Man or Wolverine. And your lowballing Thor if you think a Thunderclap is going to seriously stun him. He's weaker than Hulk, yes, but not the level where Thunderclap's are going to be an major issue.

In a H2H fight with Thor, he's more likely for him to tag Hulk with the Axe than it for Hulk to dogde it for the duration of the battle. Furthermore, Thor can still use the God Blast. Its an ability which is intrinsic to him without using his Hammer.

Oh and I'd say he clears.

Even beating New-52 Aquaman? Who should be FAR higher than what he is ranked at.

@frozen: I'd say so. I do agree Arthur is ranked below where he should be though.

Gets to Hulk, if Jarnbjorn is able to do to Hulk what it does to celestrials, then Thor clears.

Clears.

Gets to 10 but I'm unsure if he'd win or not.

Considering the reputation of the axe, one clean swing could seriously harm or kill hulk. Hulk would have to rely of hit and run tactics if he wants to come out with all his limbs intact. Plus he'd have to worry about Thor using his lightning

:)

The axe was designed to kill Celestials, I think.

@comicstooge: And Celestials have durability which far exceeds Hulk, Thor or any character up to and including Skyfather level foes like Thanos, Odin and Surtur. I don't see Hulk tanking attacks of that ilk with any regularity.

Apocalypse did.

Apocalypse withstood Celestial killing weapons?

Sure did.

@frozen: He fought a drunk young Thor.

@comicstooge: And just like that, we've given Apoc fanboys a massive feat :)

Apocalypse > Multiple Celestials > Galactus

Apocalyspe IIRC fleed like a bitch before Thor chopped his head off,the only reason he withstood it was because Thor struck him in a non-fatal area,his shoulder.

@frozen: Yes, apoc did it. And baron mordo also tanked his axe.

@laflux: Um... he did tank a glaive designed to cut atoms so maybe he could take one strike from Jarnbjorn? Nah that doesn't sound convincing but Thor could be physically overpowered before he gets to slash Hulk in two with the Celestial killing axe. Maybe @ghostravage might know some piercing resistance feats for Hulk but it's funny how, even without Mjolnir, Thor still has a chance against Hulk lol. Only due to the weapons he wields though.

How high do you think he should be ranked? And why does he count as a threat to Thor? Even without his weather manipulation, Thor could still take a slim majority over him.

@lvenger: Is Hulk aware of what the Axe can do? Hulk has tanked attacks from guys with Bladed weaponry before, knowing he can take it. He's let Ares stab him with a spear, let it break on his skin, before one-shotting him, for instance.

@lvenger: Definitely higher than Wolverine.

@lvenger: I was not really aware of that Thor wielded a Celestial killing Axe.

I do not see Hulk surviving that at all. How can Hulk reliably avoid getting hit?

Well no he wouldn't have any idea of what the axe could do as he hasn't seen Thor use it to cut up a Celestial. If you're implying that Hulk would let Thor cut him with the axe to lure Thor up close, that might count as a way for Thor to win.
