Does Thor have Super-Speed?

He has been known to 'outspeed' Quicksilver and he can go toe to toe with the Silver Surfer so he must be pretty fast. . .

"He is FAST "

"He has been known to 'outspeed' Quicksilver and he can go toe to toe with the Silver Surfer so he must be pretty fast. . . "

No he never displayed High combat speed
Spinning Mjolnir does not qualify as combat speed

Superhuman Speed: Thor's superhumanly strong legs allow him to run and move at superhuman speeds far greater than the finest human athlete. He is so fast, he is capable of moving at speeds faster than the human eyes can see, and he was able to create trenches before his teammates, including superhumanly fast beings such as Quicksilver, could react. He was stated by Hela herself to move at speeds beyond comprehension and he has moved as fast as the space winds and the lighting he commands. 
 
Check the power grid on that page too.  Thor has a speed of 7 out of 7.
 
 http://marvel.com/universe/Thor
 
On that power grid he has an "official" rating of 6 out of 7, which means "speed of light: peak velocity up to 186,000 miles per second," but fans voted his speed as 7 out of 7.  :P

"@DragynWulf: His speed is actually ranked 6, not 7, on the marvel.com website.  The 7 is from fan votes.  The 6 is the official one. "

The ability to move over land by running or flight
1 = Below normal
2 = Normal
3 = Subsonic Superhuman: peak velocity below Mach-1 (approximately 760 miles per hour)
4 = Speed of sound: peak velocity between Mach-1 to Mach-2
5 = Supersonic: peak velocity between Mach-2 to Orbital Velocity approximately 17,000 mph)
6 = Speed of light: peak velocity up to 186,000 miles per second
7 = Warp speed: transcending light speed or a teleporter(instantaneous travel)
   

@DragynWulf:  Speaking of shitty pwoer listings i believe they had put Cyttorack higher then Galactus :/.

"Thor is stated by Adam Warlock to be as fast or even faster than Lightning (which is 270,000+ mph) and with Mjolnir, he can travel 3x faster than the speed of light. However, his hammer has been shown to travel billions of times faster than light and has teleportation powers. "

Thor's most definitely faster than most people give him credit for. 
 
@Valtot:
So? And recently during Siege he instantly flew to the edge of the Sun, and in Astonishing Thor, he flew to Uranus I believe, although I don't think it was instantaneous because there was enough time for a short memory sequence.

" @Deadcool:1)wheres that profile from cause it doesnt say anything about him moving speed of light on it. Ok though if he spins his hammer and grabs it while it goes triple light speed than thats warp light speed in flight. And that last pic is from 1) over 30 years ago im guessing do you have any others more current. That other pic you showed never stated speed and 3) it could of gone by in 2 seconds or 10 minutes-. "

1. Look at the power grid, he has a 7 in speed.
2. I have current pics too, but it doesn't expalin his speed, just like old comics used to do.
3. Well, at least he seems to be pretty fast in that pic, lol.

" @DeadCool   Wow, According to that chart, his fighting skills and intelligence are pretty poor...If those are his stats I wonder what Hulk's are... "

" @Deadcool:1) yes but teleportation also counts as warp speed but your right he can spin the hammer at 3 times the speed of light and grab onto it for flight speed but he wouldnt do that in mid combat lol hed leave earth to fast or kill alot of people or even in space as its flight speed. But yes for the querstion of the thread hes got super speed just not high and mighty speedster speed. 1) Bty i know about the power ratings but they depend on alot of things like teleportation and such. 2)The reason for fighting style is because thor is a experienced fighter we all know that but he isnt a master of a single fighting style or many unless hammer combat is one lol. But ye hes super speed in combat can go to lighting speeds but not warp speed thats for straight travel. I hope everything we have shown and said answers the thread starters questions. 3)Didnt know thors intell was at 2 lol "

1. Yes but if he were a 7 for his teleportation he would have yellow bars isntead all red, just like Ultimate Thor.
2. Oh well, maybe you are right, Vikings are not known for being Martial Artists, they are known for being salvage Berserkers.
3. Yes he has just normal intelligence, but I think that Donald Blake's intelligence should be noted there in yellow bars, he is a 5.

Thor's best feats of speed come from his Classic Stan/Jack comics, JMS also had some cool feats with him putting Thor back near classical / odinforce levels 
 
Brian Bendis and JoeQ the pair who basically controlled Marvel Marvel verse from 2002 - 2010 didn't care for Thor, they preferred to fan wank a lame character called Sentry and give any super feats to this lame new character. Thor was put on the bench as a new really lame character was forced down everyone's throat, but times change . Thor having a big box office movie will probably come back to being the lead face for Marvel but the past decade he wasn't, Marvel hated him, he was just a dumb beefcake with a hammer that Hulk would beat on  
and Marvel's super rank was changed, top ties changed, they replaced him with Sentry. The company Marvel never had copyright to the Thor brand, he's not Stan or Marvel he's myth like Zeus or Osiris...its mythology so nobody owns him but opinions at Marvel HQ change
With the success of Xmen and Ironman Marvel gambled and made an investment in Thor, it paid of and his comics and movie did very well 
 
if you want speed feats for Thor go back to the years when JoeQ and Bendis weren't at Marvel, also avoid years between Kurt Busiek/Tom Brevoort although both of these guys are good writers neither of them understood Thor, the writer Busiek claimed a few times that Thor would be seriously injured by a bullet....LOL epic fail
Go to Classic or JMS for his feats, avoid the rest

lol good point

Ok... find a site on comics that is perfect. lol. they arent. people disagree on characters/ events. not to mention characters change over time because of how they are written. good job finding issue with MARVEL.com, but its not a big deal. there are tons of issues with comicvine as well. that seems to just be how this works.  plus sunspot and warpath have nothing to do with this thread. finding issue in their details doesnt mean the whole site is useless and outdated. 
 
look at the post above from TheCosmicMind. that kind of settles it anyway.

Yes.  
 
Comparing him with a character like Superman is tricky though, because DC has lots of fast characters and Superman is more popular than Thor. This sort of means that Superman will end up having far more examples of using super speed. Not just that, a writer things of Superman, he is going to probably mention it as one of his main powers. With Thor, its more of a secondary power. Well, I mean the speed reactions and use of speed against characters. Up in space he flies faster than light. So anyway, sometimes when Thor fights a really weak character? Chances are he will be slowed down (Puma for example) but if Thor is fighting a character that is a bit more powerful? Thor's speed and the guy he is fighting speed is more matched (think Gladiator, Wonder Man, Silver Surfer, etc etc)  
 
So depends really. Context and circumstance. Creative discretion. (this applies for a few characters too)

Don't use the Marvel.com listing, because it is broken and has not worked in years as I mentioned above, use the Handbook listing. 7 is the official rank since he can throw his hammer to simulate flight at speeds up to Mach 32.
http://marvel.com/universe/Thor_complete_powers
"By throwing Mjolnir while grasping its leather thong, Thor can simulate flight at speeds up to Mach 32 (over 24,000 mph)."

http://marvel.com/universe/OHOTMU:Power_Grids#SPEED

The ability to move over land by running or flight
1 = Below normal
2 = Normal
3 = Subsonic Superhuman: peak velocity below Mach-1 (approximately 760 miles per hour)
4 = Speed of sound: peak velocity between Mach-1 to Mach-2

6 = Speed of light: peak velocity up to 186,000 miles per second
7 = Warp speed: transcending light speed or a teleporter(instantaneous travel)

*confused*

24,000 MPH < 186,000 miles PER SECOND...... right? Seems like about level 5 to me.

Also: I wish they would just define the character's powers from the beginning and stick to those limits. Basically all these heavy hitters can just do anything. G-d that's boring.

do you guys work out a lot

As mentioned above, Thor can move beyond light speed with Mjolnir.

In terms of reaction/combat speed? He has demonstrated superhuman speed in the microsecond range and demonstrated superhuman speed on other occasions as well.

eh? wonderman??

His combat speed has been shown to be below Wolverines, on panel. Thor even confirms this, on panel.

He is faster than any normal being, he could be categorized as having super human speed, but he is millions of times slower than Supes or Surfer. Anyone who is arguing that is out of their minds.

wonderman isnt fast nor is captain britian but wonderman can shoot energy so that mite match his speed

wat is going on

@pastepotpete: Saying that he isn't fast without a reference point isn't really that helpful as far affirming or denying a claim about him. They are fictional characters so it depends, but to me any character that leaves speed trails and can surprise other characters with how fast they move, act react and so on I am considering fast for the purpose of my aforementioned point. Hope that helps.

Classic Thor was fast, not quite speedster fast for sure, but fast. Modern Thor, basically any version since the late 80s is slow IN COMBAT. He can travel at lightspeed in open space, sure, but he cant dodge, strike, or maneuver fast at all.
