"@King Heracles: The warrior madness definately makes him stronger. Maybe as a part of the nature of their heroic ideal [plus writers obviously] Asgardians have the ability to gain strength. Many of Thor's opponents outstrip him in terms of strength, Magog, Kurse, Perikus etc, yet when the time comes he finds a reserve? gets a godly surge? I don't know and can overcome them physically. It happens so often it must be some kind of ability [again plus writers too]. If we take his fights with the Hulk for instance, you would think that in EVERY fight it would reach a point were Thor can't continue, if the Hulks strength keeps building and Thor's doesn't. Its either that or Thor has been holding back EXTREMELY fiercly to the point that even a savage Hulk doesn't command enough strength to make Thor unable to match him physically.

It has always been the power of Mjolnir in Thor's hands that have beaten the classic Hulk. Not Thor's strength and fist alone. But the Hulk has beaten Thor with these and nothing more. And that surge would be adrenaline. And Thor's fights against physical superior opponents have been won by other means other than strength or again with the use of his hammer. His recent battle with Mangog for example was won by him putting the hammer in his mouth and releasing a blast of power. Thor has no feats that matchs those of the Hulk in strength. And again Prof Hulk posing as Maestros matched a warrior madness Thor. Prof Hulk may be greatly stronger than Savage Hulk from their base levels, but he can't reach the levels that Savage Hulk has and can reach. Thor has limits as shown with his fight with Nefaria and 8th Day Juggernaut who exceeded his limits.
