Is Thor top 5 D.O.A?

[evoljeanyes]

Thor is a superhero sky father! He is the one hero you can send to fight any villain or and other hero and he would be able to stand his ground, Outside of people who can alter reality in order to keep thor from touching them (franklin richards, Galactacus, eternity, infinity) Thor can dance with pretty much anyone

Let's not forget that Mags has given Thor hell also. But he's still a top 5 hero, easily.

But he didn't destroy the universe with the IG. U stated he destroyed the universe twice, which he did not do. He destroyed the universe once with the HotI. But then again, Reed Richards destroyed the universe with the Ultimate Nullifer (including Eternity) and recreated it without Abraxas as a threat. Morg, who's not the brightest bulb, managed to scheme his way to the Ultimate Nullifier also. Are you saying that Morg & Reed Richards > Eternity, Infinity, Etc? The Living Tribunal trumps the IG. Regardless of how anyone feels about TOAA, his position is canon. Also remember that the Infinity Gauntlet had no effect on Maelstrom when Maelstrom confronted Thanos with the IG (confirmed as canon too by Marvel's Official Handbook)

The Infinity Gauntlet is über powerful but there are some artifacts and characters more powerful than it, or at the very least unaffected by its effects.

To be fair, Galactus gave Reed the UN and allowed him to rewrite the universe. It's not like Reed did anything to earn. It was revealed in that same storyline that the UN is an aspect of Galactus' own power. So getting it is not the same as outsmarting a bunch of ancient and powerful beings to gain the gems as Thanos did.

Also, Thanos not destroying the universe with the IG is not an example of failure. Unless I'm mistaken, he didn't want to do that in the first place. He only wanted to do enough to impress Death.

For some reason I thought this was limited to the heroes of Marvel Earth. If you are counting anyone below Galactus level, then he doesn't scratch the top 5. Hell, he doesn't even come close.

That's what I was thinking. In that case, Thor is definitely Top 5, maybe even #1 on most days. If you're talking about most powerful being in the Marvel Universe, then no, he's not even close. Even if you take away the Abstracts and high level cosmics like Galactus, Thor still doesn't make the Top 5. Now if you take away the Abstracts, Cosmics, high level villains like Thanos, and reality warpers then maybe Thor creeps back up there.

They were playing hot potato with the UN before it landed to Reed. I have the issue somewhere and I'll try to upload it when I find it, but remember Galactus had the UN after retracting it from Abraxas and giving his spiel. But then Nova did a fastball special through his ear lol causing him shock/pain and dropping it. Also, Morg did scheme his way to the UN to confront Tyrant when Tyrant gained the upper hand against Galactus. Galactus was clearly shook as he couldn't control Morg's actions with the UN. Plus though the UN is an aspect of Galactus, there have been quite a number of appearances where he is utterly unable to gain control of it from its possessor.

I'm not taking away from Thanos' amazing feat with the IG. It's just it was stated afterward during the IW saga that Living Tribunal allowed Thanos to defeat Eternity was because he was just usurping Eternity's position in a single universe.

I don't even know where I would rank Thor. Rune King Thor's feats:

Owning Mangog easily

Decap Loki and kept him alive

Approach Surtur and requested Surtur to battle Asgard one last time

Ended the cycle of Ragnarok by rejecting Those Who Sit Above in Shadows (a feat Odin was never able to do) and severing their connection to Asgard

If we talking bout reg Thor, not top 5! Considering Kurse ALWAYS had his number.
