Why is WW above Sentry and why is Superman above World Breaker?

He is not stopping at Superman, in-character Thor vs Superman is already a good fight that could go either way, now make Thor morals off and give him warrior's madness while Clark remains morals on, there is no chance in hell he is beating Thor.

He can't do anything to Martian Manhunter. Beats everyone else aside from Silver Surfer and maybe World Breaker Hulk.

@lvenger: tbh I’d place even regular Thor a decent bit above Sentry.

Late reply I know but I'm interested that you place regular Thor a decent bit above Sentry. Granted Thor has never fought regular Sentry, only Void and Death Seed but Sentry has some legit high tier showings like one shotting Ben and making crack larger than the SHIELD Helicarrier with a casual punch. Perhaps it'd be a good scrap at least.

I'd honestly give him 8 out of 10 as a minimum against Sentry. Bob is definitely a high tier but he really isn't that impressive to me in terms of actual feats, just in-universe hype. No disrespect to Ben but in all seriousness, if Thor wanted to he could literally knock the guys head off, I mean look what he did to Arngir who was a super amped version of Ben. The Hellicarrier thing really isn't that great and outside of that he has only a few worthwhile showings, and others are directly influenced by his Void half. Ignoring the whole Molecule Man thing, Sentry's best feats are destroying a Moon in his fight with the Collective and a planet whilst fighting Genis Vell. The former seems impressive until you realize that they were most likely fighting around Mars (as it's the only orange Planet in our solar system that isn't gas based) and Mars only has two Moons, the biggest of which is something like 8 kilometers in diameter... Which basically makes the feat something that a mid-tier could do. The latter is his best non-Void feat by miles (automatically making it very high end), was shared with another very powerful being and fighting at that level for a few pages left him exhausted and hardly able to stand.

Outside of that his 'best' showings are things like fighting the female Ultron, what people like to leave out is that he was most certainly getting his ass kicked to the point that she was smiling whilst his knuckles were bleeding trying to hurt her. It was only when Lindy was killed that he did well and he conveniently had those 'black eyes' whilst doing so which signifies that Void is getting involved. He's gotten slapped around by both Red Hulk and Hercules, overpowered by Hulk as a wendigo, got banged up by a Nuke and even failed to restrain Ares and struggled to catch a Hellicarrier in the same story that he fought Ultron. Honestly, his fight against Green Scar is one of his best showings.

I mean even his regeneration is overstated. It is very good, but half the time it's Void doing the healing and even then Sentry almost never brings himself back to life instantly, certainly more than say 10 seconds to count as a loss in a forum debate.

Sorry for the rant, but I'm very confident in saying that Thor would beat him quite decisively if he has Mjolnir.

He clears as he is bloodlusted. Literally anyone in the gauntlet can be turned to mush with repeated hammer throws, with his stronger lightning storms or with repeated lightning attacks. Thor has already knocked out an amped green scar with one hammer strike. Even if you want to argue that WBH is somehow above an amped green scar, if thor hits WBH as hard as he hits people like gorr or mikaboshi, WBH is going to get killed in one or two hits. Superman can be tagged via lightning and mjolnir as well. He defeats surfer because blunt force based hammer strikes and throws as well as magically enhanced lightning are more powerful than surfers energy blasts. Surfer would need many energy blasts to take thor down, whilst thor would not need as many hammer throws or lightning strikes to take surfer down. Also I would put superman above mmh, and stable sentry would be the second to last in the gauntlet before silver surfer. An unstable sentry still stalemated green scar and fully stable is a lot more powerful. MMH's tp isn't going to do much to thor especially not while hes in warriors madness. Moreover WBH has no way to tag thor unless thor puts the hammer and lightning down and brawls with him... and in that case thor could still use his superior durability, fighting skills, reflexes, and probably even strength to defeat WBH. regular Thor has killed the hulk and the thing in a deathmatch style brawl before, so i'd argue a warriors madness thor could defeat WBH in a brawl.

Warrior Madness Thor already fought a deranged Professor Hulk and couldn't defeat him even though they fought for more than a hour and Thor directly stated he was trying to kill him. So i don't see how WM Thor is taking down WBH, outside of a possible BFR which would be very, very difficult.

False. That was a weakened thor who did not have his powers, he was weakened to the point a nuke could have killed him.

Wariors madness thor is killing world breaker hulk because a regular powered thor flat out killed an enraged hulk and the thing in an hours long death match style brawl. A regular thor, weakened from fighting cul and his minions, knocked out an amped world war hulk with a hammer strike. A regular thor while holding back nearly killed hulk with one hammer swing. A regular thor casually KOed savage hulk with a lightning bolt. The aftershocks of a lightning storm from regular thor KOed hulk back into banner. A regular thor stalemated hulk in a contest of strength for hours despite hulks strength continuously increasing. There's a lot of evidence showing thor defeats WBH even in a brawl using his superior durability, speed, fighting skills, and potential strength. Thor has many wins over hulk , has numerous instances where he knocked out the hulk while on the contrary hulk does not have a single instance of coming close to knocking out thor. The most hulk has ever done to thor is bloodied his face after stomping on it and repeatedly punching it, and he still couldn't KO or come close to koing thor. Thor can beat WBH by vaporizing him with his stronger lightning bolts, or by turning him to paste with mjolnir throws.

Certainly not regular Worthy Thor. WM Thor may make it closer but in its recent uses, WM Thor only managed to stalemate an unstable Professor and beat up a not fighting back Beta Ray Bill. Even if WM does give Thor a 10x strength boost, he loses to the last 4 since WM doesn't boost his durability.

Warriors madness was actually suppoed to give him a 10x boost in strength and durability but the feats don't show it to be that much of an increase. At best it could be like a 1.5x boost in his strength and durability.

Also warriors madness thor never fought an 'unstable professor hulk'. That was a weakened thor who was weakened to the point where a nuke could kill him. Hulk was amped there yet still couldn't put down or hurt a thor weak enough to be killed by a nuke. And beta ray bill is a lot more durable than hulk, he is more durable than world breaker hulk so your argument doesn't really make sense. You can't hold back your durability.

He didn't give a beatdown to PG Drax, he was fighting evenly with him. I certainly don't recall Drax being easily beaten by Thor in that state. Also, Thor wasn't suffering true Warrior's Madness, this was Blood and Thunder Thor who had gone insane and had his strength boosted by a combination of adrenaline and insanity according to an editorial letter response. Also normal Thor and Sentry haven't really fought outside of the initial scuffle in Siege #1 and I don't think Thor could have done any better than Sentry did against WWH.

You're wrong. We have to go by what was shown on panel not on anyones personal opinions. Power gem drax was beaten by thor.

You're right thor wasn't suffering warriors madness. He was literally angry. Not insane, he was angry. The editors letter clearly stated thor was angry i.e. bloodlusted. He literally said thors anger was what boosted his adrenaline. You're twisting what the editor said there. The editor said thor was angry and his anger in turn boosted his adrenaline the same way people get an adrenaline boost when they're angry. This is literally entirely irrelevant because in this fight, thor can also get angry, which means he can also get the adrenaline boost, which means he can also perform at the level he performed at in blood and thunder.

WWH got beat up by an unstable sentry and got nearly Koed by a punch from a holding back hercules. Thor has gone toe to toe with death seed sentry and taken multiple hits from him. It's pretty clear that thor's durability and damage soak is superior to hulks. Attacks which bloody and batter WWH do minimal damage to someone like thor, whilst world war hulk has to tap into his healing factor in order to deal with attacks that thor or superman would shrug off due to their superor durability.

Possibly stops at WBH.

Most likely if not definitely stops at WW, Supes or MM.

People always say that "Thor holds back against mortals." But his combat speed is just sad... against powerhouses also.

In the fight you provided that was a boxing match with thor vs champion. Back then thor had to hold onto mjolnir to maintain his thor form. He wasn't actually trying to hit champion with the hammer so he basically had one usable arm in that fight. All though he still wouldn't have tagged champion there. The thing is thor's own reflexes aren't too impressive but mjolnir gives him a massive boost in reflexes and allows him to tag and react to things he otherwise wouldn't be able to react to. For instance, a speed blitz from superman or an energy blast from surfer could be deflected, absorbed or blocked by mjolnir. Since he has mjolnir in this fight as well as his lightning he wouldn't have much trouble tagging ww or superman. Moreover he can also engulf himself in lightning so ww or superman would get zapped if they tried to touch him. He can pretty much spam hammer throws and lightning for the win plus full force hammer throws or lightning would vaporize anyone in the gauntlet to be honest.

He can't do anything to Martian Manhunter. Beats everyone else aside from Silver Surfer and maybe World Breaker Hulk.

Why would he not be able to do anything to mmh? Mmh would be easier to take out than superman or surfer imo. I also don't see how you can argue he can't beat surfer or hulk when he has literally beaten if not stomped surfer under these conditions before and has Koed and killed hulk on a few occasions. Planet busting blunt force strikes are more powerful than planet busting energy blasts. Thor's lightning is also superior to surfers energy blasts. So he has a power output edge, normally their durability is comparable but warriors madness may improve his durability somewhat as well. Hulk can be killed or vaporized through mjolnir throws, lightning, or other energy attacks or he can just be flat out drained, matter manipulated or etc by mjolnir. Warriors madness thor could defeat WBH in a brawl to the death as well as regular thor already killed hulk and the thing in a brawl.

Still stops at WBH.
