Thor strenght level
Apparition says:
"probably way more then that, but they stop at 100 tons, so they dont tell you how much stronger."
o cool thanks guys
He is is stronger than 100 tons. How much is undetermined. They usually just say they are above 100 tons though. After that point its kind of unkown and you have to kind of guess by feats who is stronger than who. So he is above 100 tons though.
Andferne says:
"Thor himself was a class 100 in strength, without his belt. His belt was and has alwasy been said to double his strength. Which could mean that Thor can lift over 200 tons."
he doesnt need the belt to lift over 200 tons. being class 100 just means you can lift over 100 tons. not that you can only lift 100 tons. he's lifted things well over 200 tons lots of times without having his belt on.
From the official sources, he was able to routinely lift in excess of 100 tonnes (and as Wonderman - at 95 tonnes was meant to be almost as strong, 110 tonnes sounds sensible).
However his feats of strength in the comics indicate the ability to lift far in excess of this, perhaps tens of thousands of tonnes.
You are sort of right, but not really. It says he can list over 100 tons. Now it also states that he uses about 2/3 of his power. So it would be around 130 tons. If he is using the belt of strength it would double that to lets say 260 tons. This would also go higher if he went into the warrior's maddness which will increase his strength by 10.
In other words, he can lift way over 100 tons

That's what class 100 means, the ability to lift well over 100 tons. The characters list as this upper limits are not known (Hulk,Thor,Hercules).
The point I'm making is that lifting the World Serpent was always considered his greatest feat. Now in Thor Secret Invasion, him and Bill lifted Asgard. Even cut in half, that is a greater feat now.

Very exquisitely worded and correct.

The Midgard Serpants weight was said to be immeasurable right?
The Midgard Serpants weight was said to be immeasurable right? "I believe so, and as an Asgardian Monster its skin is probably extremely dense, so even though its a snake/monster thing that can be large enough to wrap around Earth and bite its own tail, which suggests its ridiculously heavy, you can probably triple the weight of a snake that size to account for its density. In that aspect its probably as heavy, if not heavier then the Earth itself.
Well...
In the recent Secret Invasion, Thor mini, Thor and Beta Ray Bill lifted Asgard over their heads...after Thor allowed it to fall on and crush that Skrull monstrosity. As easily as the two of them lifted Asgard over their heads...I'm guessing either of them could have soloed that lift. The mass of Asgard that sits over Oklahoma? Probably several 100 thousand tons. And that's a frugal estimate. That is an enormous chunk of geography...
Thor is easily in the elite class of superheroes in any comic universe when it comes to superhuman strength.
I think Marvel should revise their strength scale. They usually classify in increments of 10 tons with "class 100" meaning 100 tons or more. It's like after 100, they forget how to count. Nevertheless, it's very misleading. For instance, Colossus of the X-men can lift just over 100 tons. But in no way does he come close to equaling the strength of a Thor, Hulk or Silver Surfer, three beings also placed in the 100 ton category. For visual reference, 100 tons is almost exactly the same as four fully loaded 45 foot trailers that are attached to a tractor trailer truck (the tractor, the trucks pulling the the trailers, weigh up to 10 tons...). Anyone that has kept up with Thor over the years knows Thor has many feats of strength well beyond 100 tons.
And that's without knowledge of the Runes or the power of the Odin force.
And keep in mind, that with the lifting of the Midgard Serpent, a creature said to have one-third the mass of earth (earth's mass being 13.2 billion trillion ton) Thor has also demonstrated incalculable strength. One-third of that number is 4.4 billion trillion tons.
So for all those guys out there that say Thor does not have strength on par with Superman...
They are simply wrong. And all these feats are without the advantage of the so-called "Warrior's Madness" (which increases his strength ten-fold). How one even quantifies that kind of strength...I don't even know.
Thor is one strong dude.
according to stan lee and a recent official marvel statemeant he is stronger than the hulk but he lifted the world serpeant which sould be which should be over a 14 digit figure without warriors madness and as it is worded on some sites "Thor is capable of effortlessly lifting far in excess of 100tons"
A train is more than a 100 tons. The kind of things Hulk or Thor would toss around like a baseball. Trying to put a number on someone with class 100+ strength level seems pointless, since Marvel has already filed them under "impossible to gauge". Thor, Herc and Hulk in particular can all lift way, way, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay over 100 tons and have done so several times. Hercules held up the freaking heavens not long ago in incredible hercules, and Thor literally pushed back gene-written death in the world engine. Whenever Wonder-Man or The Thing even comes close to these guys, it's the writers being nice and inconsistent.
@PowerHerc:
Gladiator is faster than Thor, Thor is stronger than gladiator as gladiator has matched thor when thor`s speed was amped but in a regular fight gladiator admittid Thor was too strong for him
sentry at the end of seige was stronger but sentry was weaker at the end of wwh
I belive Ive already showin you the scan of thor and hercules arm wrestling so ill leave that out
and yes I belive that at some point the Hulk could eventually become stronger than thor
Thor and Hercules are equal in terms of strength. In one issue Herc challenged Thor to an arm wrestling match. Thor took his offer, and when they started, they caused the Earth to shake. Herc admitted that Thor was his equal in terms of strength and they called it a stalemate.
thor is in the elite on earth along with sentry(dead), hercules, hulk, and the blue marvel. those guys r ridiculously strong. namor is probably in top 5 or 10 too
He has planetary streangth
this is all the proof we need
and has tied or even sometimes beaten herc before and has the majority of wins over hulk who has beaten hercules and hercules has done this
A myth? i think not! and superman,Wounder woman, and martian manhunter all 3 of you can suck it! it took all 3 of you to move the earth and look at what these guys are going for!
Well, classically Thor (like the Hulk, Hercules, and the other Marvel top tiers) is rate as 100+, which means in excess of 100 tons. Most of Thor's lifting feats are well over this this though. If we have to translate it to tons, I'll say Thor can lift at least 365,000 tons. That's the approximate weight of the Empire State Building, and I think Thor could lift that if he needed too.
Thor is just a beast if he went into warriors madness he could have tossed that serpent like it was a silly band
then you add in his belt which doubles it again kinda overkill but if you got em you might as well smoke em
while thor mat not be able to move at hundreds of light years per second like silver surfer, even silver surfer doesn't move that fast in combat
and thor has FTL reflexes with magical attacks that have beaten the mightiest earth has also alot of the time he is holding back what do you do when this guys lets loose on somebody (I would hate to be that guy)
Just a question, is Thor physically stronger than Odin? I remember seeing in an old Silver Age Comic Thor physically overpowering Odin when he had been bewitched by Loki and Loki said he was even stronger than Odin. Thing is, that was a long time ago and I don't know if it was a one-time thing or if it has been shown that Thor is physically stronger than Odin in other instances.
Beta ray bill busted planets like they wer nothing in beta ray bill godhunter and Bill is thor's eqaul. besides we still have that serpent feat he should defently be able to bust a planet.
"@Valtot: Beta ray bill busted planets like they wer nothing in beta ray bill godhunter and Bill is thor's eqaul. besides we still have that serpent feat he should defently be able to bust a planet. "
he didnt "bust a planet" he went threw it im pretty sure blowing him up, and his durablity wasnt the only thing that aloud him to do it he gets stronger around heat.
Nah, Bill was outright busting planets. No, he simply has better stamina in an environment of extreme heat. He doesn't get stronger.

When marvel did their Handbooks they should have added a zero. Thor should be able to lift over !000 tons. At 100 tons, Superman is like ten times stronger. Now, they are stuck between a rock and a hard place. You are what you put on paper.
He destroyed a planet by hitting BRB, lifted the world serpeant, shifted the earths orbit while arm wrestling hercules, and rewrote reality by moving the world engine.
recently he squatted argard(with bills help). he commanded the entirety or asgard to fall onto him, and then he lifted it up in a squat. i would go out on a limb and say that asgard is probably 1/4 the weight of the mountain range that hulk held up in secret wars, but even he admitted that the only reason he could do that was becuase of leverage. thor not only held it up, but lifted it back up. i would put thor and bill lifting argard from a squat in the same class as hulk holding up a mountain range with leverage.
Thor has deus ex machina strength. Meaning it cay vary, but essentially means, that he can lift anything including the impossible, and the contradictory. He is not exclusive in that strength class though, but he does have pretty impressive objective and subjective strength feats, and writer credibility, which is important since this is fiction of course, and a lot of characters strength levels can be deus ex machine, so consistency can be a factor.
When Marvel first came out with their Handbook(the first editions) ther was only two characters strength class 100. They were Hercules and the Abombination. The Hulk could exceed 100 tons if he were enraged. He started at 70 tons calm. Thor,Ulik,Wonderman 95. Juggernaut 90. Thing 85. Sub-Mariner 75. Collossus 70. Ironman 40/90 for short burst. They should have said, Hey that was supposed to be 1,000 tons.

Your numbers (except for Iron Man - 11 to 91 tons) are accurate, but exactly who do you think should've been listed at 1,000 tons? Thor? Hercules? Angry-Hulk? Others?
