How do the members of the Thor Corps in Battleworld stack up to their namesake? Should we attribute Thor's feats to these Doom worshipers?

They're probably a bunch of chumps. Apparently, "The Power of Thor" is just a new cosmic badge.

Kind of the impression I'm getting from the scans I've seen, they seem to be nothing more than a shameful blemish (yet another) on the name and honor of Thor.

The Real Thor would never kneel before Doom.

I doubt they are anywhere near as powerful as the odinson. I don't even think their Mjolnirs' are even proper Mjolnirs' they are most likely created by doom as I don't imagine that amount of people being worthy now when the amount of worthy people before was very few. Doom must have other ideas of 'worthy'

@spykat: if doom had the power of a being that couple warp reality to his aim and creat an entire universe out of nouthing and (assuming) wipe the mind of everything on the planet to forget their previous universe, them yes I think Thor would take a knee

@z3ro180 It's good to have an opinion.

@spykat: yep it is, anyway all that in my last post is what I have been told by a mate who is reading SW wars so really I have no first hand knowledge of what's happening.

@z3ro180: I am only (trying) to keep up with this fiasco epic saga by reading whatever I can find online.
$3.99 for a comic book is redic.

@spykat: are the SW comics $3.99 or $4.99? either way, overpriced for what they're offering (guess unless you're a huge Doom fan).

@antithetical: Not sure but yes, either price is way too much - if only on principal alone.

Apparently powerful enough to incarcerate a couple of Hulks lol (Though all the incarnations were not specified)

@unbreakable_fs4:

Also apparently Thor corps members have very different power levels...

@asgaard: No doubt considering even rookies bear the name as well

Something about that scan just makes me happy

@incursion: Same here. It was a nice touch to loosen the serious tone the comic started with

Runey?? Rune king thor??

@unbreakable_fs4: That's a pretty useless statement considering we don't know how powerful those Hulks where, we don't even know what they looked like. I mean if Captain America is going through Planet Hulk slaying Hulks, i don't see it being a problem for Thors. Also Hulks are pretty much everything that lives in Planet Hulk domain, for instance Captain America came across some gamma powered worms that he called Hulks and Hulks are everything from humanoid, to animals, to insects, etc...

I'm pretty sure I stated this in my original post

Here:

@unbreakable_fs4: That's why i said it was a useless statement, also none of the incarnations where specified apart from saying that one of the Hulks was gray which means nothing to us.

@atheistknowledge: I see no reason why the statement shouldn't be made, unless you're somehow trying to claim that defeating a Hulk, regardless of it's strength is an easy task.

Anyways, the statement was made as a lighthearted comment and I see no reason anyone would have an issue with it.

@unbreakable_fs4: I am not saying you can't make it, i am saying it's pretty pointless. That's the thing, we don't really know... Hulks from what we have seen so far vary by a huge degree, i mean some humanoid Hulks where pushing around catapults to throw burning crap at Thors, while others like one sand Hulk one-shoted a Thor.

Not to mention that Jason Aaron waters down even the real Hulk when he made statements like the Minotaur being as strong as the Hulk then having Thor immediately after one-shot him with a punch... When it comes to him and Hulk i take everything with a grain of salt.

Fair enough

i feel like most of the thor's that arent established vets like ultimate or whatever are all at the very basic level's of 616 thor's abilities then work their way up. it's been made clear that some thors are more powerful than others

Looks like Thors vary very much in power... otherwise there was no chance Deathstrike would just gut 3 of them easily.

@spitfirepanda: must be everyone of them just as powerful as 616 thor except for Ultimate Thor, Old Thor, Beta Ray Bill that those people are practically original thors i believe. pretty much the people they look like. For example most Thors looks like God of Thunder Saga. They should be as powerful as him, other looks like Unworthy Thor they should be as strong as him, ect.

@unbreakable_fs4: well that's a feat for ultimate Thor then and he needs all he can get.

Doesn't Lady Deathstrike have an adamantium-infused skeleton? Anyway, Thor(s) would have to stand still and really let her stab them, which usually does not happen.

Mid tier fodder.

If they came from their own universe why did they not have a hammer already?

I am guessing it varies in accordance to experience and maybe on the hammer issued, but generally they are powerful enough to keep most people in line, but not near 616-levels of power.

Regarding Deathstrike, technically she is an assassin so gutting a trio could have been done in an ambush. Imagine her rushing out of the shadows, disembowelling one before she's gone again. (Most important thing for her is ofc to not get hit).

I kinda wonder with this whole setup: Where is Odin in all of this? And what about the other high-level magical entities? I know Limbo/Inferno is under Madelyn Prior's rule... but what about Dormmammu? Mephisto? And the other hell-spawn?

They, probably did, Doom probably just took their hammers and wiped their minds and now recruits one after another giving them back the hammers after making sure they are loyal to him.

If Doom was that powerful why would he even need anybody else?

@arthurkerr: Cause he is one person and is only in a single place. Strange has pretty much stated that the two of them constantly rewrote the memories of everyone on battleworld over the last eight years so that people would believe their made up history.

Dr. Strange cannot just travel to another dimension and grab a history book? Just asking I mean it is safe to say that all demensions are not poof gone. what about the all seeing eye why travel at all when it can look into other worlds with ease.

Some very interesting reading. As very intrigued that I am, I can see how much Marvel has changed, needed as much as that change was, it's hard for people of old to re-adjust to the jarring re-creactions of a lot of their favourite characters they grew up with. My biggest issue with the changes, is not the fact that they made changes, but a lot of changes came at the expense of the much loved characters that people loved to read about.

I dont think all the Thors are "genuine" alternate Thors. The different realms of Battleworld apparently represent all that could be salvaged of the multiverse. Given there seem to be a lot more Thors than realms in Battleworld it seems safe to assume a lot of them get their powers/hammers from Doom.

Any indication these "Thors" are manufactured? Possibly cloned or bio-engineered?

no. they're literally random people in battle world deemed worthy but ya they are not equal in power at all

Was explored what happened to the Beyonders and that specific Beyonder that Abyss, Ex Nilhilo and Ex Nilhilii apparently "hacked"?

Probs just fodders

Beta Ray Bill is nearly as strong as Thor...the others probably are weak and pitiful.

o.k, so we're talking about the Thor "cops" from the current Thors title and not Doom's personal Thor army?

@antithetical: I thought they were like the same thing but just had different ranks within the hierarchy of the Thors

@thorthunder98: I've no idea, I haven't bothered with the Secret Wars event at all.

@cgoodness: Yep. Proxika Midnight for exmaple killed who was supposed to be the Old King Thor judging from his appearence.

Scans?

Sorry. It was Proxima Midnight and the new Terrax from Hickman's New Avengers. But still, it shows that Battleworld Thors are fodders at best.

@spiderman1997: That's not old King Thor. The real old King Thor was seen in Thors #1 and #2

@unbreakable_fs4: I kinda misphrased it. I meant that he looked like Old King Thor.
