I posted this in the Iron Man section already but I felt like this was a half Thor thing to. I also just like Thor, so why not come to come to his section?

Recently I've felt like I can understand Thorbuster. Okay, before I get to the my theory on how powerful Thorbuster is, let me clear up how the suit functions. One user tried to compare it to Rulk and I gave them this response.

First of all Rulk actually drains power whereas Thorbuster only withstands it. The asgardian crystal gives Thorbuster Odinforce equal to King Thor's.

The user tried to say Thorbuster could siphon energy from that punch but even if that were the case, it would've only had said energy after Thor was hit. Let me give a little example of how Iron Man absorbs energy

Gallery

Bleeding edge/extremis had the ability to draw energy out like this but from what we know they can only do it to electricity. Thorbuster was actually made a bit before Extremis was even a thing. Iron Man usually only gets his energy when it's thrown at him or specifically pointed out like here

Thorbuster in particular only implied he took the energy that got thrown at him. Now that this is out of the way

Claim

Thorbuster is kind of hard to say. It seems to be below King Thor but probably somewhere on high herald tier since it has Odinforce under King Thor's and likely above Mjolnir's based off of Thorbuster's feats and statements. Thor and Iron Destroyer(who should have Odinforce at least on par with Mjolnir's) by comparison will effortlessly lose to Odin. Odin is a good margin weaker than King Thor.

Evidence

There were several statements of Thorbuster's asgardian crystal tapping into the same power/enchantment as Odin/Mjolnir before and during the fight. We even see it parry Mjolnir's blows(with his punches and repulsors) despite them being at least strong enough to dent something as hard as Captain America's shield. I'll explain it a bit more since you seemed to be confused.

Bleeding edge Iron Man had went through Odin's forge to become Iron Destroyer and it has the same enchantment as Mjolnir meaning it has the Odinforce. Normal Thor doesn't have the Odinforce himself but Mjolnir does. Odin had beat them both with ease. From what I remember King Thor did significantly better against Galactus than Odin did so I'd say it's safe to assume King Thor's Odinforce>>Odin's Odinforce>>Mjolnir's Odinforce.

The fact that Thorbuster did better than Iron Destroyer(who was actually made of Uru) means that it had a better enchantment.

What do you guys think? Is it stronger than Thor?

While the Thorbuster is cute and all, Iron man's statement comes off to me as dry and has limited amount of substance ...so i'll answer the question that is important

What do you guys think? Is it stronger than Thor?

My answer is no ..

CONCLUSION

If this armor had the ability to take Thor , it wouldn't have been destroyed by the person it was intended to defeat..And another small detail that we need to look at , if it was stronger why Iron man saw the need to team up with Captain America?

Hope this answers your question @lilbroomstick

@lazarus4tempest: Well, it's obviously not stronger than King Thor but is regular Post Ragnarok Thor stronger than King Thor?

@lilbroomstick: I think most people would choose KT due to his feats....but for me i still think regular post ragnarok Thor is stronger..

@lazarus4tempest: That's interesting, to me King Thor was more powerful than what Post Ragnarok displayed when he had the Odinforce let alone at his regular power. Any reason for Post Ragnarok Thor being stronger to you?

Thorbuster?... bs

@lilbroomstick: you know what king thor is way more powerful, i don't know what I was thinking

Maybe it's because of Post-Ragnarok Thor's cooler design? lol The point was that Thorbuster was amped by the asgardian crystal enough to give King Thor a good fight which puts him pretty high up there considering how he accidentally broke Cap's shield, easily reacts to speedsters while weakened, and casually fodderized the other heroes again while weakened.

@lilbroomstick: the design had me being emotional in my judgment.. Lol king thor did fodderized the other heroes... Savage

Didn't king Thor kill Wolverine and Hulk when they had ambushed him in Jurgen's run? And the Thing? My memory hazy on that.

You are correct he beats the living crap out their a#$
