    Thor

    Character » Thor appears in 8599 issues.

    Thor Odinson is the All-father of Asgard /God of Thunder, offspring of All-Father Odin & Elder-Goddess Gaea. Combining the powers of both realms makes him an elder-god hybrid and a being of no perceivable limits. Armed with his enchanted Uru hammer Mjolnir which helps him to channel his godly energies. The mightiest and the most beloved warrior in all of Asgard, a staunch ally for good and one of the most powerful beings in the multiverse/omniverse. Thor is also a founding member of the Avengers.

    Is it me? Or does BRB look more powerful than current thor ?

    Well, Thor did kill the Void in the end, and has also defeated the Doomstroyer, and destroyed Ragnarok (I am referring to feats after he used the Odin Force to repair Mjolnir). But, generally speaking Beta Ray Bill has more chances to test his power since he usually fights opponents of cosmic magnitude (meaning he can also unleash without fear of mass destruction - examples being his fights with Stardust), all the while Thor is restricted on Earth, and as a result, he holds back a great deal. So, I'd say Beta Ray Bill shows his power more frequently than Thor, but in essence, I have always viewed them as equals, and my opinion has not changed.

    I believe that is natural, since Thor has had his own book for decades, and as such, tons of great feats to his name, but Bill has been impressive for the number of issues he has appeared in.

    I have yet to read the mini, but Fraction does love Thor. He basically presents him as Asgard's only hope in every single mini of his that I've read. Not to say I didn't enjoy them very much, I just wouldn't take a single instance to heart.

    Ah ha!  Yes, of course!  I was a bit slow there...  Well, I can't say I know much about how either Bill or Thor have been portrayed recently.  I only saw them as babies in the recent Thor & the Warriors Four :)

    Thor has more powers then BRB, back in the day while Thor was mad he almost beat Bill to death while fighting SS, Doc Strange, and Adam Warlock. Yea Thor was driven mad but he can access the Warrior Madness when needed which is the same thing. So by that then I'd have to say yea Thor is better. Not to mention Thor has driven back Galactus multiple times, cracked a Celestial's armor, and he almost beat Juggs unconscious.

    Sheesh, That's a whole new level of Thor I never knew; The cracking celestial armor part makes me cringe a bit inside, I feel sorry for the Juggy too.  Is this the Classic Thor?  :o

    The biggest difference between Thor and BRB is that Thor is a god and thus he has access to things bill doesn't. Here is a list for anybody who cares to look up Thor's feats. (god I feel like I've posted this like 12 times this year)

    Beta Ray Bill at his absolute peak of health, rest and power is at best equal to Thor.  He's never more powerful.

    I don't think its just you, but I myself would have to personally disagree that he does. Then again, I am rather peculiar with how I perceive a fictional characters power. I look at writer intent, I break down the definitions of meanings applied to both characters within any given context, (such as the word equal), and how they can be used and I never apply the flawed logic that is absence of evidence is evidence of absence.  
     
    I generally think Beta Ray Bill is generally meant to be regarded in the same ball park as Thor (strength, speed, durability), but not in any absolute sense, and how he gets written will generally differ in the same way many Superman clones will be written differently to Superman. I could never see Marvel, or most writers putting Beta Ray Bill in the same roles and situations Thor has been in (like Thor vs Glory, Thor vs Galactus (actually winning), or will be in. If they ever end up opposing each other again though I am sure it will be close though. its the mechanics of story telling.  
     
    A few weeks ago, Marvel had their Heroic Age Heroes handbook. Thor actually had a higher ranking in the power category. I mean, its up to your own personal discretion. Marvel is a huge company with hundreds of different writers with their own opinions and theories, and I am sure one can justify any opinion they hold in this regard. Just like how I just attempted to justify why I tend to view Thor as just a bit more powerful generally than Horse Face Killah. ^_^
