Toyo kind of stomps he can use his powers faster and can use them more effectively. This isn't really fair.

Without being hugely knowledgable on him, just sort of tangentially plus wiki, this seems accurate--that Harada would be able to TP her pretty instantly, while Nico needs to at least think of a spell effect and then speak some words to enact it.

Venom (Thompson) on Venom vs Mister X with multiple Weapon X improvements.

Venom has his standard complement of weapons. He is pumped up on New-52-style Venom from Bane.

Mister X has: Deadpool-level healing factor; Wolverine-style Adamantium bones and claws plus X-23-style claws in his feet; Ajax-level strength (10 tons) and speed; Maverick's corrosive chemical spray and Vibranium suit; Sauron's ability to absorb and project energy.

Battle takes place in the Bird's Nest in Beijing, starting at 40'.

In character. Win by any means.

Who wins and why?

Venom (but on Venom)
Venom (but on Venom)
Mister X (but enhanced)

It's just hard for me to get Thor's long series of fights with other basic bricks like Ulik, Kurse, and Juggernaut out of my mind when I think of him fighting Hulk. Even guys like (cough cough) the Crusader have put up a fight against him. Thor has a long tradition of brawling at fairly even levels with other strong dudes, and not using any of his unusual or world-destroying-style powers. (This is not to say Hulk all of Hulk's opponents are super-top-tier either; Abomination is basically Hulk's Ulik, for example, and they've both fought guys like Mr. Hyde, etc.) But, my point is all this Thor-holding-back stuff doesn't hold a lot of water with me. If he really is holding back in 90% of his appearances, then I guess he'll do so here, and if he's not actually holding back all the time, which makes a lot more sense to me, then he'll just fight the way he always fights against other bricks. Sure, he'll use his lightning and stuff, but that's par for the course.

Anyway, compared to many of these other bricks, Hulk is fairly well positioned to do well against Thor. I think he has the potential strength to KO him. If Thor was going to take Hulk out, Thor's whole strategy would have to be to do so quickly so Hulk's strength and regen aren't amped. That would be the smart thing to do--go in, use some unusual powers, take Hulk out fast. But Thor just isn't that kind of fighter. He'll do that in maybe 1 out of 10 fights. And maybe another 1 out of 10 he'd do something crazy and desperate to save himself after a long and draining fight. But generally Thor sees fighting the Hulk as a test of his manliness, and isn't going to do that, he's going to fight it out by hand. And I'd say he loses most of those fights if they're allowed to go to their protracted end. I'll take Hulk for 6/10, please, Alex.

Honestly I think people are being perfectly reasonable, considering.

Regarding Hulk's speed, here are a couple good threads with speed feats for him: here and here

I'm leaning towards Hulk. They've both tended to tank each other's hits and attacks before, and Hulk's capacity to do so should only increase as the fight goes on. With BFR off the table, and Thor rarely being a super-logical fighter, and thus unlikely to resort to power drain or anything like that, I don't think he has too many big advantages. His attacks are clearly more diverse, but would he put Hulk down before Hulk progresses through his rage to greater and greater heights of power, towards World-War or World-Breaker levels? I am guessing maybe not. Although on the other hand, it's not like nobody has ever beaten Hulk; he can be KOed through sufficient force, so it's always a possibility. But I think probably Hulk could work through Thor's onslaught and in the end wear down the God of Thunder.

Only a couple at best. As far as I can recall, Ozy's feats revolve around skill and speed, and I don't think that's enough to take out any kind of moderately durable robots by hand--unless he ends up sinking them in the canals or something. But I don't think that would really stop them.

I will say goodluck, but this seems unrealistic, I mean 8 years with 100,000s of threads.

Actaully there is as of now close to 234, 850 threads. Some of these are locked already of course, but sorting through easily 225,000 threads... Damn.

That was my feeling. There's 4697 pages of battles, 50 threads per page, so 234,850 total like you said. Just think how long a thread it would take to even list them all. Even if each page on the thread listed 4697 battles (which is not close to possible) it would be 50 pages long. How would you even search that thread to find something on it?

Or, let's say you get 50 volunteers to do it. That means each volunteer would need to catalog 4697 battles to get it done.

And granted, like you say, some of those are locked, but there's going to be a pretty healthy percentage that are not.

how full is the moon? :)

Well, we can say it's a full moon. But he doesn't seem to necessarily have his moon-strength these days. Although clearly his connection to Khonshu is pretty direct in recent times.
