Drax was funny Metaphors go over his head. HILARIOUS Batista rocked this role
Happy Independence Day, Guest!
To me, it looked like he was more on par with CA than those 3.MCU Thor vs Drax?
Where would you all place Drax on the strength charts, IM level, Thor level, or Hulk level?

I think only really looked super weak and unskilled in a couple fights because he was going against Ronan. Against just about everyone else, he was making mincemeat out of them. If anything, his strength is at least equal to CA's but with a high possibility of it being greater. Too hard to tell without more evidence.That's why prison break action scene was my favorite action scene since it showed super strength from Drax. They definitely need to show more of Drax strength feats next movie.

After AoU, we'll probably be able to find out if CA can tear a robot in half with his bare hands. I'm doubting he will so Drax likely will come out on top in the strength department.Yeah pretty much. But I think based on what was shown in the movie, Drax is a stronger than Cap. I havent seen Cap tear apart a robot with his bare hands.
I loved drax. What a fantastic character. When he kept missing metaphors I thought it was great because it was fun to see someone great that people with aspergers could relate to.
I also love his mad cackle whenever there was danger and the brilliant way he could switch from comedic to dangerous was brilliant. I hope bendis gets him more now when he writes him
If I had to peg Drax's strength, I'd say its somewhere Iron Man-ish. Not only did he tear a robot in half, but remember that in the Ronan fight, several of the times he got launched created body-sized dents in metal walls, but kept fighting ( badly ). It just doesn't show as much, partly because Marvel hates giving strength feats ( ahem ), partly because lots of aliens are bricky, and partly because everyone tends to have energy weapons capable of threatening high durability opponents.
Which is to say, I tend to think that as portrayed, he'd give a decent showing than lose to Thor. To do better, I'd need either better evidence for Drax' higher strength level, or better evidence for Ronan's pre-Orb power level. Like, if it were made explicit that the Orb did *not* boost Ronan's strength and durability in any way? Then I'd buy Drax being Thor strong.
Personally I just can't see him as Thor strong, at best I'd say Iron Man level.
Well Ronans pulse from his hammer broke the Others neck. Drax took one directly and kept on kicking at the least he has superhuman durability. I think they didn't want Drax strength to over shadow Groot. Groot seems to be Thor tier.
I'd still say he has a way to go to be Thor durability, but yeah Drax's durability was pretty high up there.
However Thor is a guy who tanked blasts from Odin's spear, Hulk's blows, 30,000 ft drops, IM's unibeam etc. I always wouldn't say Groot was Thor tier, he seemed about the same strength as Drax to me.
I am also not sure that I would want Drax to be Thor-level. I'd kinda rather most of the powerhouses reside somewhere around Iron Man level, guys like Deathlok and Luke Cage and Drax. I want Thor and Hulk to stand out amongst the heavy hitters.

Dude. Groot not only [BLACKOUT]survived a fall from a flaming spaceship that disintegrated on impact he was able to protect everyone by doing it. He was arguably the strongest being in the prison, took out multiple drones easily, and displayed a nice strength feat when he pierced a group of enemies and slammed them into the wall like they were nothing.[/BLACKOUT]
He is probably third strongest currently in the MCU
I can get behind that sentiment. I mean, note, being "only" Iron Man strong still means he's probably about as strong as an above average warrior Asgardian, like the Warriors Three.
