Storm Vs Thor

[TheCorpulent1]

Hey it's the reason why I don't read Superman on a regular basic.

Says the guy with the Spectre avatar?

Yea it's silly indeed to think Wolverine would be uninteresting because of it.



Of course me having an opinion and being one who enjoys characters i can relate too does not have anything to do with what i said.

Wolverine sucks for far more than his powers' shooting through the roof lately.

ah, yes very true.

Another thing, Marvel knows Thor is more popular, that's why he's on the cover of M:UA and is the starting character, and is more involved in the story of the game than storm(ie Asgard etc).

Actually i've played the game and storm is indeed shown in all the cutscenes and even when your not playing with her. Thor is shown in the movie scenes only because

Spoiler

Doctor doom stole odin's power, and they needed thor in the scene to tell them how powerful odin is.

So actually thor was just shown a tad bit more in the cinema and even got on the cover, but that was only because the game's main storyline plot was about the gods.. I also believe storm wasen't put on the box because they wanted to show all of the different characters in marvel unverse and since wolverane is the most popular x-men they featured him on front, because none of the other x-men were featured on the cover.

 

[Cyrusbales]

C'mon, there was no reason to have Thor as the starting character in the team. It's clearly becuase he's more popular. The most important characters in the game so far(jus about to start act 4), are spidey, thor, wolverine and cap, as they are always taking the lead in cutscenes etc, and these are the four most popular characters in the Marvel universe(altho F4 are quite popluar also, although I hate them)

 

[gambitfire]

Well the game was ment for video gamers most of which are probably MU fans already, and i already said how too MU CB fans Thor is more popular.
Atleast i would believe he is.

On the otherhand movie/cartoon/themeparkAttraction wise Storm is more popular, even though The Storm ride in Islands of Adventures Sucks A$$.

Not too mention that because you just labeled those 4 as having appeared in the MUA trailer doesn't make them most popular.

I can argue Hulk is alot more recognized than Thor as well as IronMan but they where not in that scene where they?

 

[HandOfFate]

It also does little against a guy with vast cosmic powers, but Cap's beaten him plenty of times.

Who? Now don't say Red Skull with a cosmic cube. Red Skull has had the cosmic cube, maybe two times.

But given the current level of culture in the owrld, it is likely that a movie would be more popular then non-greek mythology

That the way I see it.

Says the guy with the Spectre avatar?

I just liked the pic, nothing else.

Yeah, let just forget the movies, cartoons and other video games Storm has appeared in over the last 30 years.

Actually when you play the game on hard you can start off with anyone you want, and like i said, they were representing all forms of the marvel universe, and everyone know's that wolverane is the most popular X-men of the team. It woulden't make sense to have two x-men starting the game off. That's why storm wasen't on the start, not because thor's a more popular character. They even mention this in the production notes somewhere.

17 people truly feel Storm could beat Thor. My goodness. I'll just say this, if Thor punched her hard enough he will break her face, shatter her skull, thus the tiny bone fragments would cut her brain where she will bleed and eventually die, or he could just snap her pretty little neck, or smash her head in with Mjolnir.

SMH

[Crowforge]

Hey if they dumped Storm in space for an indefinite amount of time there'd be hell to pay

what a gentlemen, ladies must love you.

You realize you pretty much just made it about Spider-Man and Nightcrawler, right?

Nah these guys are one track minded into saying that "Storm is Powerful,.... But would have trouble with the Good Humor man"

I scanned the last few pages and read how both sides are taking the characters out of context or not talking feats,.. but what they believe each could do.

Nice long posts but not really hitting dead center on either the original point of the thread or a contest (honest) in regards to Storm, Captain America or Thor.

Bottomline:
1.)
If the definitions don't take into account feats that were done more than once - (Storm Manipulating Millions of Stars at the Galactic Core, Thor "levitating" Between Hammer Tosses, Captain America with his healing Factor), Then you shouldn't put it up as proof that your arguement is sound.

2.)
Marvel Superheroes Fill Niches (sp). That is to say,.. they have areas of expertise / levels of power that add to the story about them. ANY comparision between two in the same comic company will ALWAYS be Apples and Oranges.

I have read Captain America Pwning Thor in a dust up, I've have read Thor Beating Storm in a one on one where she was completly out of character, I have read Storm beating back Major FF and Avengers foes BY HER SELF.

These are comics.
(Don't foam @ the mouth for what I'm about to type)
Storm beats Thor only at the Galactic Core because her power apparently depends on the ambient power/materials available,.. Thors stuff is self contained and has a set limit, (Celestials anyone?)

Storm Beats Captain America Hands Down with her powers - period.

Thor beats Storm Everywhere else for the same reasons - Nowhere else does she have access to the power needed to beat the ThunderGod,...

Captain America (By Canon) can Beat Both Thor and Storm in Hand to hand. IT HAS HAPPENED between Thor and Cap, and No one with sense can say that by reading the number of documented hand to hand fights that Ororo will consistantly beat Captain America,....When she does,.. we are talking Bannana peels and Bad hair days when she does.

Having said the above - there is NOTHING more to say - You can try to compare till the cows come home but it changes Nothing by Feats.

Nuff said in my case.

PS - Maybe I'll start a Nightcrawler whoops Spidey with a cold thread.

Well amped up Storm with her own couterfit Hammer made By Loki gave Thro some pause.... but in th end the Thunder God is god Storm is just a mutant

True. I have the issues of Alpha Flight where Loki enhanced Storm. She tried to attack him with the mystic hammer he gave her, but he basically mocked her and threw it at her, knocking her down. She didn't face off against Thor at all there, he wasn't in any of the issues.

But that contest was a hoot...Thor's such a pimp. t:

 

[Zeu]

And you´ve felt the need to ressurrected this abomination of a thread just to post that?

I believe a flogging is in order.

 

[supermarvelman]

So nobody actually reads the first post anymore? It's not about who would win, lads and lassies. It's about who's more popular and who's the better character?

Storms more popular
Thor the better character

and

Thor would whoop her ass.

 

[Miss Webb]

It wasn't a scam Storm was the official Godess of Thunder for a short period of time while Thor croaked.

An alternate and extremely silly story with a lot of forced stuff. One of the alpha flight became goddess of death. Seemed like the asgardians were suits to be worn by mortals. A joke of a read.

 

[Zeu]

More like....



Storm´s more popular
Storm´s the better character

and

Thor would whoop her ass.

 

[Guyverjay]

Thors a better character than Storm by a country mile

 

[supermarvelman]

Your probably right, I just really dont like Storm.

 

[Zeu]

Storm´s a better character than Thor by two country miles

 

[supermarvelman]

She might be better developed, but she's lame.

 

[MJB]

Even if storm was at the height of her popularity, and i despise Hudlin's run on the Black Panther, but then this guy also runs BET in some capacity, which I hate the network has become as well. Even with that being said Thor would still beat Storm. it doesn't matter who's writting her, and i love Storm, but she is outmatched against Thor.

 

[OZONE]

Storm is far from a supportive character exclusively. I mean honestly the only reason that they most likely dont use her as often is because she is a female and she's black, a very limited demographic, not that there is anything wrong with her character. SHe is as far as being reduced as the day of her creation. Though refined and often FORCEBLY having to sustain a balance not only with herself but nature at the same time, she is far from weak. Her very essence is that of nature, if nature is out of balance she will feal it, and when she is out of balance, nature pays the price. Storms physical attribute of weakness makes relatively no sense. Trained by wolverine, constant winnings of hand to hand combat, and as a trained and highly skilled thief she has every basis covered, literally. Her ability to control the atmosphere to make it "perfect" gives her limited healing abilities, though never mentioned but definately logical. Pure oxygen, sunlight, no bacteria she can sustain damage. She has battled silver surfer IN SPACE and has won but summoning atmospherice pressure to cast lightning. She has maintained both the atmospheres on Venus and Mars simultaneously. Its not that difficult for her to control the weather nor is it even remotely straining from the time of her birth she was one with nature and it was one with her, she just didnt know it. She is pure elemental energy found everywhere in everything. Though Thor may have damaged Storm slightly in the past with :his: lightning it is far fetched, considering she just need to alter the charge of the air around her to divert any incoming projectile.

She might be better developed, but she's lame.

Is that all you can say about it?

Here's what I say :

Thor (sung by Manowar)

Black clouds on the horizon
Great thunder and burning rain
His chariot pounding,
I heard the heavens scream his name

I watched as he shouted
To the giants that died that day
He held up his hammer high
And called to Odin for a sign

Thor the Mighty, Thor the Brave
Crush the infidels in your way
By your hammer let none be saved
Live to die on that final day
Gods, Monsters and Men
We'll die together in the end

God of thunder, god of rain
Earth shaker who feels no pain
The powerhead of the Universe
Now send your never ending curse

Swing your hammer to crack the sky
Lift your cape so that you might fly
Back to Odin and the Gods on High
And leave this mortal world

 

[Red Mask]

For Storm

Ice Queen (by Within Temptation)

When leaves have fallen
And skies turned to grey.
The night keeps on closing in on the day
A nightingale sings his song of farewell
You better hide from her freezing hell

On cold wings she's coming
You better keep moving
For warmth, you'll be longing
Come on just feel it
Don't you see it?
You better believe.

When she embraces
And your heart turns to stone
She comes at night when you're all alone
And when she whispers
Your blood shall run cold
You better hide before she finds you

Whenever she is raging
She takes all life away
Haven't you seen?
Haven't you seen?
The ruins of our world.

Whenever she is raging
She takes all life away
Haven't you seen?
Haven't you seen?
The ruins of our whole world?

She covers the earth with a breathtaking cold
The sun awakes and melts it away
The world now opens its eyes and sees
The dawning of a new day

On cold wings she's coming
You better keep moving
For warmth, you'll be longing
Come on just feel it
Don't you see it?
You better believe.

Whenever she is raging
She takes life away
Haven't you seen?
Haven't you seen?
The ruins of our world

Whenever she is raging
She takes life away
Haven't you seen?
Haven't you seen?
The ruins of our world
