So i wanted to discuss Thors feat when he held open the iris of the Forge. I believe this is a very good strength feat for Thor, but it is a little hard to determine the magnitude.
So from this we see The doors that are blocking the the energy of the neutron star. Which appear to be a minimum of hundreds to thousands of tons i am guessing. But for the calc i will use 1000 just for ease but it could be more or less (If we are taking into account that they have to block the energy from the star then they must be extremely dense and strong as well as thick)
From the picture see the distance that thor opens the iris. Now we know that thor is at least 6 feet tall and since thor is a good distance away from the iris we can jusde how far it has to open. The iris opens even further than this but i cannot get any clear shots. but just judge the iris appears to open at least 20 feet.
Thor only moves his arms about 1 foot.
We see that the mechanism is driven mechanically we can see the gears and everything. So by knowing the principals of mechanical advantage we know that if thor only moves 1 foot and the thing that gets moved, moves at least 20 feet than thor has to exert a force of at least 20 times greater. (There would be losses within the system do to friction and other factors making him have to exert more force.)
So without taking into account the gravitational affects this is a rough 20,000 ton feat. Could be much different. Also to note his arm position is not a very strong one and it is a lot harder than a regular curl. So using stronger muscles like legs or chest he would be able to move several times this in a good position.
But here comes the very iffy stuff. This is a neutron star and neutron star have gravity about 2 x 10^11 times earths gravity, as well as extremely extremely dense shells. Now if we take that into account this feat becomes unimaginable.
The doors are being acted on by the star and are blocking most of it. So that means they are under the effects of 2*10^11 gravity. So this becomes a feat of not 20,000 tons but 4e15 tons. and then the additional strain of the getting hit by the blast. Even i the doors weigh less and he moves it less it would still be ridiculous.
But i do not know if this should be taken seriously because it his so high and ridiculous. Take from it what you will.
