Thor Odinson is the All-father of Asgard /God of Thunder, offspring of All-Father Odin & Elder-Goddess Gaea. Combining the powers of both realms makes him an elder-god hybrid and a being of no perceivable limits. Armed with his enchanted Uru hammer Mjolnir which helps him to channel his godly energies. The mightiest and the most beloved warrior in all of Asgard, a staunch ally for good and one of the most powerful beings in the multiverse/omniverse. Thor is also a founding member of the Avengers.
Did you not read Thor: God of Thunder issue 9? He was hitting Gorr so hard that the nearby small planet began to collapse, so he sped over quickly and prevented its destruction with his bare hands, giving us one of the more endearing moments of that epic arc; when the planet's citizens were cheering in sheer joy and gratitude with Thor heroically heading back into battle.
@cmartin: Why are you so obsessed with hand to hand combat? Why would he chose to not use a weapon? A strength feat is a strength feat with mjolnir or not, it doesn't add any strength.
Anyway he broke free of Gorr`s chains that had previously held hundreds (possibly) of other gods, some even as large as mountains. He also easily threw the core of a star (i think that was what it was) at the godbomb. And he hit Gorr pretty hard with his axe (it looked like it created a black hole or something, but that might just be the art being weird).
non-THOR fans and THOR haters complain about THOR only being able to fight with his hammer and not with his bare hands. its like their number 1 excuse to put down THOR.
he is more concerned with present THOR. he loves THOR but he takes pride in talking how bad THOR of present day is very crappy and weak.
Perhaps like many he is basing views of "current Thor" on Thor's strength showings in the 3 films he has appeared in, which I think most Thor fans would agree aren't a patch on what he achieved in TGOT #9 which was an epic issue. I don't want to give too much away to those who haven't seen Thor TDW, but he does take some serious punishment !!

If i wasnt a thor fan i wouldnt be on this page...... Im a thor fan NOT a thor FANBOY.... thor strength has been non existent ... he is the strongest of the norse gods but his strength 90% of the time is nonexistent... once he loses the hammer he loses the fight...
eg the fight with rulk rulk took the hammer (dumb story) after that thor was like handicapped couldnt throw a punch nothing...... got knocked out.... 7 successive blows.... he could do nothing... why ?/ he is ne of marvels strongest characters its embarrassing to see ..
BUFF Storm wow! really wrote That, OK. Did you know Thor defeated Storm by Kissing her & pulling the air out of her lungs in Contest of Champions , He didn't wish to harm her. Now back on topic
He's really strong ,Holds planet Together w/ bare hands & uses lightning & earth control to repair it, All Three Thor's during God Butcher story arch Battled inside the Super Heavy Gravity of a Sun(not the first time Thor's done This) Thor did match strength against BOR his Grandfather after Bor caught Mjolnir ,Thor caught Bor's Ax while it was swing downward at Thor's head stopping it ! An amazing feat of reflexes & strength vs. a Skyfather level opponent. During that battle Thor did swing Mjolnir hard enough to Break it upon Bor Killing Bor I know he used the Hammer but this is still a demonstration of strength. In That same Battle Thor crushed Iron Patriots repulsor Gauntlet Then threw Him Through several Building, very effortlessly like pitching aside a child. On mars Thor head butted Silver Surfer sending Surfer tumbling away, Denting the Surfers nearly Indestructible Metallic shell. These are all recent feats not even Ten years old . & anything to do w/the Red Hulk story was just terrible writing to push that character, Sure they had Thor go back & pound him in the Scorched Earth story arch ,But still both stories , were terrible stories
Now the argument about Thor & Mjolnir , Of course Thor uses its Powers Its an Greatest Asset , He still has Powers without it But they are amplified By it & he gains other Powers He normally doesn't posses . Just like Captain America & his Shield, Batman & the utility belt, They wouldn't just toss them aside even though they are Both very capable w/ out their gadgets . What's the Green lantern Corp w/ out Rings, Hawkman & Hawkgirl & their nth metal weapons. saying Thor w/out The Hammer is weak is just silly or maybe some Hammer envy out there
