Marcel Cinematic Universe - Thor's skin vs Captain America's shield: Which is more durable?

Thor's for energy resistance, the shield for physical resistance.

Thanks for reading,

Floopay

Caps shield took a hit from Thor that created a shockwave through most of the forest in Avengers 1. I don't think Thor himself would tank that without at least getting a bloody nose or something

Shield

Exactly what floo said

No difference.

Definitely the shield. Thor's not vibranium and he never will be.

Let's be clear, Thor got ONE high-end feat and a ton of anti-feats. Now, i don't want to disregard the super-awesome star feat, but comparing him to Cap's shield is a bit too much.

Vibranium was melted by Thor, Iron Man, and Vision. Thor's skin resisted the full force of a Neutron Star.

@herpaderpaderp: He would have died if not for Stormbreaker.

Even surviving that level of energy he did for half a second, is many, many times more powerful than what it took to melt Vibranium Lol

op is dumb

@chimeroid: Tanking a city exploding isn’t exactly a low end feat

It is if you compare it to the statement of "tanking a force of a star".

@chimeroid: Let me re phrase that. I meant it is not an anti feat

Can't find a clip online, but, wasn't he knocked out after the explosion? I remember him falling in the water and sinking for a while.

@herpaderpaderp: So you're saying Thor could have tanked the blast that was melting Ultron? I really doubt it.

@chimeroid: That is often debated, but Thor has had Mjolnir knocked from him before, and that would make him fall like that. There is no proof he was KO’d, and there was no visible damage, so it looks like he tanked it

It is the sinking that worried me, not the falling from the sky. he seemed like he was out.

@chimeroid: He was blasted down from like 20k feet... that’s gonna make him sink pretty far pretty fast

Not the way it happened. he didn't plunge deeply in the water. He (relatively) slowly sank after he fell in. Of course, it is quite possible that he is just a very poor swimmer.

The shield ofc

@chimeroid: The shot was on him for about 1.5 seconds. Is that concrete proof that he is KO’ed?

Thor definitely

Very easily and many times over.

No, but, is there any proof that he wasn't knocked out?

@chimeroid: The burden of proof is on the person saying he was KO’d, because that’s a change from his initial state.

Loki stabbed Thor in Avengers, shield hasn't been pierced yet.

This is not a battle.

@hyiena: Yes it has, black panther’s claws

Thor, obviously

I have offered proof. You deem it insufficient, however, you have no proof for your claim. Also, you are the one that made the claim that he tanked the explosion.

At this point in time, my evidence is vastly superior to yours. We saw Thor flop into the water and slowly sink down. We didn't see him tank the explosion. We simply saw him survive it.

@chimeroid: there was no visible damage to him at all. You yourself admitted what you said wasn’t proof, so idk what you mean.

What we know for sure

-Thor has no visible damage from the explosion

-Thor fell in to the water and didn’t move for about 1 second

-Thor often drops his hammer when taking damage, so falling makes sense

That’s not proof he was KO’d, and without proof of that we should assume he tanked it

NO

You never assume your character to be stronger due to the lack of proof. it is quite the opposite. If you are making assumptions, you should always go for the lower figure, or, in this case, for the highest "provable" value of the feat.

Also, i didn't say that my post wasn't proof. I just said that it isn't concrete enough. Again, it is much better than what you have brought up. Either way, the fact that a city bsting explosion is a debatable feat is direct proof that Thor is not a star level character.

@chimeroid: What? Lol. First off, what do you mean by “star level”?

Second, there’s a difference between assuming the character is stronger and simply saying there is no evidence of him being KO’d. I’ll make it a little simpler.

Thor was initially not ko’d (Of course) then the explosion happened. Since Thor was initially NOT ko’d We need evidence that he Was KO’d, not evidence that he wasn’t KO’d. Since there is not real evidence he was KO’d, he wasn’t. I see what you are saying, but we are not making an assumption unless we are saying he was KO’d, because there is no proof of that.

Regardless, there was no visible burned or bleeding areas of Thor’s body from the explosion, so at the very least he can survive the explosion while being KO’d, but again, there is no real evidence he was KO’d.

As to the “star level”. One could say he had an amp in ragnarok, but personally, I don’t buy in to the “full force of a star” stuff per se, because I want to see more feats on that level.

Also, if we are saying the shield is>Thor than that would mean

Vibranium>Thor>>Uru which makes black panther, vibranium ultron, and such FAR more powerful than initially thought

Thor by feats
