I thought I might hang, in case you get bored.

A happier post than yesterday, 'cause y'all deserve it.

My favorite four panels in all of JLA/Avengers, from issue number four.






I realize they couldn't continue this, because epic melee combat and separation of the two universes and all, but seriously, Shulkie and Wondy miniseries, y/y? The two universes would collapse from the concentrated awesome, but it'd be worth it.

Honestly, I think it's a different game - the Skyfathers of the Norse and Greek pantheons aren't even a decent power-match, Thor - Zeus have more equivalent powers. (Zeus's powers are mistaken for Thor's in a recent issue of Incredible Herc.) Thor is stronger than Odin. A power-set angled more to defense is a different thing entirely than what the Aesir bring to the fight. In a fight where Diana is trying to block him, rather than kill him, she could probably hold the way for some time.

Still, given that Diana is divinely powered, and still depicted as expecting to die, and feeling hope when backed by Shulkie and Hippolyta, it seems quite reasonable.

In the MU Odin is leagues stronger and more powerful then Thor. He's been known to destroy galaxies simply as a side-effect of some of his fights.

Surtur is his equal. During Simonson's run Surtur destroyed a galaxy simply so he could use it to help make a sword. He took a blow with the power of a million suns and didn't flinch.

I thought I'd seen somewhere in Marvel that Thor was the most physically powerful of the Aesir due to his mother being the Earth?

Thor's the strongest of the normal Aesir, Odin is special since he has the powers of his brothers Vili and Ve who were killed by Surtur (whihc became known as the Odinpower). He's also descended from Tiwaz and Bor so he was already beyond most Asgardians even before that.
