Thor's best feats of strength

What are some of his most impressive feats of strength?

anyone?

Lifting a serpent coiled around Earth? Which isn't that impressive when you think about it.

@monsterstomp: Is that his best strength feat?

@noone301994: It was at least equal to the weight of the earth.

@monsterstomp: how is that not impressive ?

When was that stated?

@tikhunt: Yeah I'm not sure about that.. The Earth weighs 6.6 sextillion tons (6,600,000,000,000,000,000,000). I don't think Thor is THAT strong.

Well if the snake was coiled around the Earth and Thor pulled it off, the Earth should have been wasted. Unless, of course, the snake wasn't gripping on very tight at all.

@monsterstomp: it is a good feat it's just your over thinking it.

@z3ro180: How am I overthinking it?

I would say that holding up asgard (w/brb) is up there in strength feats.

It was pretty big.

@monsterstomp: The universe would have been decimated if we used real logic

naaaah, I do that all the time.

every time he picks up that heavy a** hammer

He once lifted the Odinsword and hurled it through Arishem the Celestial.

And he was weakened too. :)

Probably the arm wrestling match with Hercules that was generating enough power to knock the planet off its axis.

depends which strength you want. pure strength or striking power.

anyways I won't go into thor's striking feats cuz there's too many but some of thor's greatest pure strength feats include

@tomofukuoka: That last one is definitely an outlier.

Not sure about you guys but I found this impressing:

This right here makes me think of Superman, sorry just had to post this:

Lifting a serpent.

Is that even a feat??

@emmanuelalake: The serpent was large enough to wrap itself around earth multiple times and strong enough crush the life out of it

Lemme say the serpent weigh Quarter or Nigh half of earth

NVM

@monsterstomp: haha yea not impressive at all i lift that weight everytime I take a piss

I'd say yanking the world serpent free of earth was his greatest feat of strength.

i thought that snake thingy was debunked a long time ago

@jayc1324: the serpent feat got debunked a long time ago.

DECONSTRUCTING THOR'S "MIDGARD SERPENT LIFTING" FEAT

As a number of posters on this site are aware, this particular feat of Thor has oft been used by Thorbags to insinuate that Thor's upperlimit in terms of physical strength is on a planetary scale :

http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/12/123075/2757795-thorliftstheserpent.jpg

However, what Thor did there , and what a number of people on the battle forums have passed it to be , is similar to the assertion that Superman is capable of blowing planets with his heat vision, or holding them in his hand , based on these scans , where he is in the New Gods world, interacting with the normal(mainstream DC) universe . Similar statements regarding the New Gods can be made as well , based on this scaling up phenomenon :

Now , to begin with , the Serpent didn't encoil Earth in normal space , it went into the Void(notice its size in Asgard-space , nowhere near continent , country or even city wide) :

Again , here the Serpent is mentioned to be in its ethereal form , in the regular Earth-Space :

That's why , as Thor mentions here , he'll have to venture to Asgard to deal with the Serpent there , as it was crushing Earth in normal space :

Once there , Thor coerces Hamir the Giant to help him travel by the former's ship to the Void between Earth and Asgard and uses the Hamir's Bull as a bait to fish out the Serpent :

Now that all concerned parties are in the Void , its made (painfully so for the Thorbags) clear that the Serpent is nowhere near continent sized(let alone of planetary proportions) . In fact its of normal monstrous proportions relative to even Thor himself :

In fact it is essentially stated by the narrative here that in the Void , space and time don't operate normally :

http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/12/123075/2757859-voidsspacetimeunnatural.png

Within the context of Thor # 327(in which the above discussed feat takes place) , the Void(like the differently scaled New Gods Dimension that I showed as an analogical reference point in the beginning of my post) between Asgard-space and Earth-space doesn't follow the normal rules of space-time . Hence why despite being big enough to wrap up the whole planet within its coils while in the Void , the Midgard Serpent was still relatively small enough for Thor to use a mouth-fitting bull to fish it off from Earth . This is why the Serpent is , in proportion to Thor , roughly as big as what a Pleistocene era sea monster would be in comparison to a normal man .

To sum up : this feat is far less than what its been made out to be for so many years on the Comicvine Battle Forums . Its not even close to planetary-level strength .

@theorder14: How is that debunked though, he lifted a serpent wrapped around earth and crushing earth. I don't feel like reading all that

It's because the serpent didn't coil the earth in normal time and space. Normal laws doesn't apply. Thor had to go to asgard and deal with it there while the etheral form of the seprent attempted to crush earth. It wasn't even that much text tbh. Just takes a few minutes to read at most >.>

@jayc1324: turns out that the snake didnt really envelop the earth. It was the astral mumbo jumbo form. Thor went to another dimension where the snake is building sized to move it there.

Ah I see, thanks for the concise explanation

The fact that the serpent transversed two dimensions makes no difference. Thor has always had to traverse dimensions when traveling from Midgard to Asgard. The serpent's ethereal nature was mentioned a few times in that book. Also, the actual weight of the world serpent had nothing to do with the feat of strength. The creature was crushing earth slowly in its grip. Thor was able to yank loose a creature that was crushing earth.

One Shotting Abomination.

We got to see the size of the serpent in asgard and it wasn't nearly as big as a planet there. It was also stated that the space and time between the two dimensions works differently.

To which I previously responded,

@void-x said:

Also, the actual weight of the world serpent had nothing to do with the feat of strength. The creature was crushing earth slowly in its grip. Thor was able to yank loose a creature that was crushing earth.

And that literally has nothing to do with anything. I already mentioned that Thor travelling from Earth to Asgard is considered a time travel/dimensional travel thing.

Notice the Beyonder moving seamlessly from one dimension to the next. Asgard is mentioned as one of those dimensional planes that is separate from earth's dimensional plane so no surprises here

The serpent was spoken of as traversing both dimensional planes. Despite all that, the effects of the serpent on earth were real, as seen below

Even though the serpent is in ethereal form, its real effect on earth is tangible and would've resulted in earth being crushed had Thor not yanked the creature away from earth. This isn't the first time Thor has feats of strength on a planetary level

Besides all that, Thor has busted a planet

I think Thor is stronger than people give him credit for
