My god, after Planet Hulk and Civil War, I didn't think it was possible for me to want even more to see Iron Prick get his ass kicked, but this page did it for me.

Yeah, threatening Thor is about the stupidest thing you can possibly do.

I wonder who told Thor about Clor? Personally, I think Spider-Man should do it after all Tony's done to him, but Peter doesn't seem like the vengeful tattler-type that would tell Thor about Clor just to get Thor to kill/beat up Tony.

It's sad that Thor isn't the killing type.

They didn't fight? Bummer. I'd love to see scans of IM getting his ass crushed.

Who said they didn't fight? Now I'm not saying they DID but Praxis post didn't say anything one way or the other.

Looks like I should head down to the local comic book shop to see how it ends. I hope Thor wins, otherwise I'll have to label him as a has been whose comics I will never read again. (God knows Americans put out enough of that shit nowadays.)

kick ass, now make sure Tony Dies from alcohol or nanite poisoning, so that while on Asguardian land, so that your neice gets to collect his soul, ok Thor?

Batman · Post by **Batman** » 2007-09-03 11:50pm

I count five votes in favour.

Post by **The Yosemite Bear** » 2007-09-03 11:56pm

Which them fighting, or Tony getting handed over to Thor's neice Hel?

alternatively we could ask Fenrir to play "Fetch" with Tony....

At this point, I'm reminded of my favorite song from Anime....

Total slaughter.....total slaughter.....I won't leave....a single man alive....

Kick his ass Thor...you can do it....come on, say it...you know you want to "Does Thor have to smack a bitch?"

The actual issue isn't out yet, but there are preview scans of the fight sans word bubbles.

I have no idea how the fight will turn out till the actual issue comes out.

I especially like the last pick of Thor smashing Iron Man with an electrified semi and then throttling him.

I was under the impression that Richards and Stark were in Hulk's custody. How did he get out of the prison and back in a suit? Also, where was Mjolnir during all of this? I thought it was in the possession of Clor during Civil War.

It's enchanted to always return to THORS hand when ever he calls for it. Alpha wolf, vs. false alpha wolf, guess which one our beta wolf hammer will follow.

I wonder what part of GOD OF THUNDER Stark doesn't understand, since he seemsto speak to the man as if he were talking to some yokel...
And that's yet another smackdown Tony really deserves.

The hammer Clor had was a fake full of electronicy-bits to mimic the original.

I think the Thor series is post-WWH.

Tony has always had a bit of trouble with the whole "god" thing when it comes to Thor, Hercules or any other gods the Avengers come across. He tends to look at things in scientific ways so if he can't readilly understand it he chalks it up to something scientific he just doesn't understand. Magic kind of bugs him in the same way.

You would have thought that after years of hanging around Thor that Tony wouldn't be getting into it with him so regularly. It's interesting that Tony was the one who was so against Thor interfering in things back when it was Thor who was telling everyone what to do.

Calling Thor the God of Thunder is just giving him a label. It doesn't confer any special abilities or powers unto itself; after all, it was given to him by his followers. It's more of a description than anything else. If Iron Man had been around in the 10th century, and made an occasional appearance to the Vikings, he'd probably be a god of something or other, too.

Of course, Iron Man knows what Thor is capable of, after having fought with him (and against him, once or twice) over the years. I'm itching to see the fight, to see if Tony actually thinks he stands a chance in a dust-up between the two. I mean, Tony's upgraded his hardware over the years, and he'd be in a position to know if he's playing in the same league. My gut tells me that, absent a lucky shot or a trump card up his sleeve, standard-issue Iron Man just isn't ready to tangle with Thor.

Having said that, I recall a few years ago when a new writer was taking over the helm of "The Mighty Thor", it was going to be part of the canon that Asgardians -- including Thor -- wouldn't be invulnerable to garden variety firearms. In other words, any schmuck with a .45 could, were he brave and lucky enough to make good the attempt, take out the nigh-immortal Thunder God. This might have been reversed by a subsequent creative staff (and let's hope that it was).

I got a strange question here, but can Iron Man actually draft Thor legally, by this I mean, Thor is a God, and in the Marvelverse we have seen that he does have worshippers in the US. (Not sure if that is still the case, to be honest, but in the past he did.)

Assuming he does, does that not make him the head of a religion, and if they drafted him that would seem to fly very close to crossing a line in regards to the whole seperation of the state from religion....

At the very least a clever Lawyer with an axe to grind against Tony might well be able to make said claim... *Stares at a Certain Green Lawyer....*

Iron Man informed Ares that if he didn't play ball he would be deported to Olympus. Presumably he'd say something similiar to Thor.

Except Asgard is now floating above the US, where will Iron Man deport him? Besides I don't think Ares has much of a following, while Thor has been around, we've seen his Church in the past, hell you can find people who believe in Thor in the real world. (The Original Thor I mean here, not the Marvel version) His faith seems to be far more established, and I just think forcably drafting the deity of a religion, would be trying to claim authority over said faith.

Although in the end, Iron Mans real problem, is he's acting on the belief that Thor is alone now and will stay alone. Personally I want the fight to end with a beaten Tony then later on Tony conmes back for round two with some back up to find the place filled with gods.

I remember the big showdown a few years back when Captain American and Thor-Buster Iron Man went head on against Thor, it resulted in Thor, among other things, almost casually ripping Iron Man's arm off (just the armor, sadly) to the tune of "you're just meat under that metal Stark". Hopefully Thor gets a little more serious now that he's personally insulted/betrayed.

In one of the Black Panther books Thor was briefly knocked out after taking a high powered rifle shot to the forehead. Right through his helmet. It broke the skin and knocked him out but he woke up really pissed a bit later.

In really early Thor (Journey Into Mystery) he was always spinning his hammer really fast to block stuff like bullets so I always assumed that he wasn't bulletproof. In fact I think most of the appearances of the various "gods" in the Marvel Universe seem to avoid showing whether the Greek and Norse gods are bulletproof or not. Certainly they are very durable and have some serious stamina and recuperative abilities, but you don't see Thor and Hercules constantly bouncing bullets off of their bare skins like the Thing and the Hulk are always shown doing.

Ted C · Post by **Ted C** » 2007-09-04 04:38pm

If I recall my Marvel Universe guides correctly, Asgardian tissue is several times denser than ordinary human tissue. This means that while Thor isn't exactly bullet proof, bullet penetration would be comparable to shooting a tree.
