Season 2: Thor Odinson (Marvel) vs Shazam (DC)





Greetings, Ladies and Gentlemen and welcome to a new edition of my Who Would Win Series and it is going to be Thor Odinson from Marvel vs Shazam from DC.

For this match up, I will be looking into the Stats, weapons, abilities, feats and even their most powerful versions to truly make each side reach their maximum potential.


For Thor, I will focus on his Feats in the comics. Also, I will be using images from the live action Thor Movies and even some Comic book Images to help display his capabilities. I will also mention "Rune King Thor" and provide info on his weaponry.

As for Shazam, most of his info is already used for "Captain Marvel vs Shazam". However, I decided to add more details to his stats, his "Darkseid War Shazam" and more additional feats to display Shazam's capabilities.


So, without further ado, let's begin.




Thor Odinson
 














Thor is the Norse God of Thunder and the son of Odin, the All Father of the Norse Gods. In a realm known as Asgard, Thor is renowned for his bravery yet reckless behavior, which resulted in him getting into alot of mischief with the likes of the Frost Giants, Dark Elves and Loki himself, who is Thor's Brother. Being a royal blood, Thor is the destined heir to become the King of Asgard and is willing to be a wise, and overtime, a cunning, brave and charismatic ruler.

Eventually, Thor was involved in galactic and universal conflicts such as the Infinity War, The Age of Ultron, The Phoenix Force and finally, Ragnarok.

Since then, Thor has vowed to protect Earthrealm and his fellow Asgardians from any threat that stand in his way.

That is a very brief backstory of Thor, now, let's see what the God of Thunder can do.





Strength























Thor, being the God of Thunder, is by far one of the strongest characters in the Marvel Universe. Infact, he is so strong, most of his friends and foes had second thoughts on taking him down physically. While Thor has done countless feats of Strength, for the sake of this blog, I will do a handful of his Strength Feats to showcase his immense Power. Here is a list of Thor's Strength Feats.

  •  Lifted the Midgard Serpent. The Midgard Serpent is said to be about half or even the same weight as Earth. It is possible that the Serpent is much heavier than the claim though, since it took Thor alot of effort to lift it. 









  • Took on Hercules in a Arm Wrestling contest to a standstill. The feat alone is amazing, because not only was Thor Arm Wrestling Hercules, the same hero who lifted the Heavens above him that weighed an infinite amount of weight, the planet that Thor and Hercules stood on was taken out of orbit because the shockwave of the contest was too great that even the surrounding area was causing earthquakes. This makes Thor practically limitless in Strength.











  • Snapped out of Adamantium Alloy Cables, which are among the toughest metal in the Marvel Universe
  • Accidentally knocked out Namor while holding back
  • Stalemated Savage Hulk's Strength.
  • Pulled Multiple Planets by himself
  • Broke Silver Surfer's Force field with a single strike. These Force Fields are so durable, Thanos, Hulk and even Dr Strange failed to break through after Multiple Strikes. Thor however defied the odds and did so with a single strike. It is even more impressive that Loki's Magic amplified the Force Fields to make it that Mjonir was kept away from Thor. Silver Surfer stated he never seen Strength displayed by Thor before, and this guy has seen countless heavy hitters in the Marvel Universe.
  • Fought Beta Ray Bill and eventually, the two of them collided punches. The Sheer force of the punches was felt across the country side.
  • Thor's Punches, when equaled to someone as Strong or even Stronger than him, are capable of closing dimensional rifts.
  • Struck a blow in Exitar the Exterminator's Armor. The blow was felt across the entire planet. This is amazing, considering that Exitar is a Celestial, one of the most powerful beings in Marvel.



Speed












In terms of Speed, Thor is legendary. In fact, Thor is one of the fastest characters in the Marvel Universe and has done tons of Speed feats that actually can make him a "Speedster". Here is a handful of Thor's Speed feats.
 
  •  With very little effort, Thor has dodged and even deflected lightning level speed attacks
  • Took on Silver Surfer and Adam Warlock at the same time. Warlock, after witnessing Thor grabbing his staff mid swing, stated " "He moves like the lightning he commands, much quicker than I remember." This means, Thor is moving at multiple FTL speeds.



  • Fought and even defeated Hela thanks to his Speed. Hela has an ability that if she touches her victim she will ensnare their soul. However, against Thor, she was unable to do so and had to retreat due to Thor's overwhelming power. Hela is the Goddess of Death and is one of Asgard's most powerful foes, even coming close to even conquer Asgard.
  • Fought against Heimdall with such speed, he was literally too fast for Heimdall to react to. Heimdall is capable of perceiving light speeds.
  • Digs a trench in a blur, meaning he did so at "Faster than the Human Eye can Track" Speeds. This is amazing considering the Trench itself is connected from a Volcano and alongside a village, which easily would be a couple of kilometers long and a 50-100 meters wide.
  • Has taken on multiple God attacks at once
  • Took on Loki and his doppelgangers by himself and even prevailed. 
  • Evenly matched with Silver Surfer, Sentry and actually surpassed Quicksilver in terms of combat speed alone. 



Durability
 





















In terms of Durability, Thor is also legendary in this department. He has endured limitless amounts of punishment that, like his Strength and Speed, would take pages worth of info to even do it justice. So, I will list a handful of Thor's best feats in durability.


  • Bullets and regular weapons literally bounce off from Thor.
  • Lightning tickles Thor, meaning.... it does nothing to him (Some versions of Thor are harmed by lightning but since I am putting Thor at his best, he is not getting this weakness) 
  • Took a full on energy blast by Thanos which destroyed the planet. Energy attacks from Thanos are so powerful, they can cause black holes and even kill multiple celestials at once
  • During his clash with Autum, Thor was eventually inside the very core of the Sun. What is ridiculous here is that Thor, despite being inside it.... Never felt any effects that would have harmed him in any sense of the word. This means, Thor was practically unaffected by temperatures of the sun
  • Took multiple attacks from Hulk, who is capable of shattering planets and breaking Onslaught's Armor, which is virtually indestructible.
  • Withstood an attack he himself created against Surtur that is stated to be 1000 times hotter than the Sun..... Seriously, Thor is practically unaffected by Fire at this point XD!!!
  • Resisted Temporal Forces that can freeze Molecules
  • No sold, and was only tickled, by Ghost Rider's Hellfire.
  • Survived an explosion caused by 4 Mjolnir-Level weapons
  • Withstood Decay's disintegration touch.
  • No sold Silver Surfer's Energy attacks, which can vaporize anything they come in contact with.



Skills
 













Being a God, Thor has over thousands of years of combat experience. In fact, he is easily the most experienced fighter in the Avengers team, surpassing Captain America and Black Panther by a landslide. It also helps that Thor himself, while very straight forward in terms of a combat approach, is still very cunning when the situation demands it. He has even fought and defeated foes with genius level intelligence and even foes with prep time still lose to Thor. 



Weapons


















Of course, Thor himself is a warrior right? That means he carries weaponry in combat!!!! In most versions of his fictional life time, Thor has wielded a couple of weapons that are outright devastating to anyone that faces him. Here is a list of Thor's Weapons.
 
Mjolnir: Mjolnir is Thor's signature weapon. Mjolnir is forged by dwarves from Nidavellir using materials known as Uru. The weapon itself is also enchanted by Odin with a spell that allows only the most worthy can wield it. Mjolnir is also, one of Thor's most versatile weapons he has used. It can be used for both close ranged and long ranged combat.... But most of all, it can create storms and even emit electricity for devastating results. Clearly, Mjolnir is something that would otherwise terrify anyone that dares challenge the God of Thunder 


Stormbreaker: Stormbreaker is actually two weapons in two different universes. In the comics, it was a hammer that is virtually identical to Mjolnir in terms of capabilities given to Beta Ray Bill after Odin found him to be worthy of wielding such a weapon due to his contest against Thor. However, in the MCU, Stormbreaker is actually a battle axe and a hammer rolled into one. Stormbreaker is created with Uru and, like Mjonir, has the same capabilities with the exception of greater reach and more powerful attacks. It is currently Thor's main weapon in the MCU.




Jarnbjorn "The Wrecker of Worlds": Jarnbjorn is a battle axe made out of Uru. Unlike Mjolnir and Stormbreaker, Jarnbjorn doesn't quite emit electricity or lightning. However, the main pride and joy of Jarnbjorn is that it can cut through almost everything.......... Badass trade off :D!!!





Odinsword, The Over Sword of Asgard: Odinsword is by far, one of the most powerful weapons in Marvel. Infact, is is considered to be Asgard's most dangerous weapon. When unsheathed, the weapon spells doom to the world and the coming of "Ragnarok". The Sword is capable of cutting everything in it's path, even Celestial Armor. It also can increase it's size and the wielder to give it greater range and also, grants the wielder even more power. It also can channel cosmic energy flowing through the sword, since the Odinforce is the prime force behind it



God made Weapons: Of course, Thor has wielded weapons that are made of Asgardians. These include Swords, Spears, Axes, Bows and even Flails. Thor however prefers his other weapons for combat. That said, it is worth mentioning that Thor is capable of wielding any weapon to maximum effect.


Equipment.


Aside from his weapons, Thor's equipment is equally as useful in combat. Here is a list of Thor's equipment.


Battle Armor: Thor's Battle Armor is made of Asgardian Steel. While not quite as Durable as Mjonir, Thor's Battle Armor is still durable enough to tank planet level attacks with no scratch marks what so ever. 










Battle Armor "2":  This armor was created by Tony Stark and Dwarves to help Thor live longer from Hela's Curse, which made his bones brittle and physically weaker. The Scars that Thor had are permanent.











Destroyer Armor: After defeating the Destroyer, Thor eventually used the Destroyer Armor to conquer "Hell". The result lifted Hela's Curse on Thor and his health came back to normal, and, eventually, left the shell of the Destroyer. In terms of capabilities, This armor is virtually indestructible and impervious to attacks





Belt of Strength: The Belt of Strength double's Thor's already impressive strength levels. 








Uru Destroyer Arm: After having his arm severed by Malekith, The Dark Elf, Thor was given a new Uru made Arm to help him continue his combat potential. What's more, the arm itself is virtually indestructible and is capable of making Thor's weapons deal even more devastating results thanks to the increase strength level of the arm.


 

Rune King Thor
























Rune King Thor is by far, the most powerful version of Thor yet. It is a version of Thor that has reached Near-Omnipotence, surpassing Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet by a mile, and is capable of causing tremendous power that can shatter not just planets, but galaxies and dimensions



Abilities

With the weapons of Thor now being mentioned, we can now see Thor's abilities. In fact, most of Thor's abilities, while he can do so without weapons and equipment, generally are emitted from his weapons alone. Here is a list of abilities by both Thor and his weapons.


Thor
  • God Like Strength
  • God Like Speed
  • God Like Durability
  • Near-Invulnerability-Invulnerability
  • God Like Senses
  • God Like Vision
  • Lightning Resistance
  • Mental Resistance
  • Fire Resistance
  • Ice Resistance
  • Poison Resistance
  • Bullet Proof
  • Lightning Manipulation
  • God Like healing 
Warrior Madness: Warrior Madness, or the Berserker Rage, is a state that Thor enters that increases his power levels up to 11. This makes Thor virtually unstoppable in combat, and allows him to destroy planets with no effort what so ever. While the drawback is that Thor loses his control and becomes more predictable in combat, the stat boost alone is a great trade off because of the state's power boost to Thor's physical capabilities


















Rune King Thor








  • Limitless Strength
  • Infinite Speed
  • Invulnerability
  • Instant Healing
  • Time Travel
  • Foresight
  • Resistance to all elemental attacks
  • Odinforce Empowerment
  • Mind Control
  • Telepathy
  • Duplicate Manipulation
  • Godly Sensory System
  • Telescopic and Microscopic Vision
  • Dimensional Teleportation 
  • Flight




Mjolnir/Stormbreaker MCU/Comics













Weather Manipulation: The Signature ability of Thor and his weapons, Weather Manipulation allows Thor to summon lightning at will. Thor can even do this in space........ Wow. On a serious note, Thor's lightning never missed it's intended target when fully concentrated, and, should the target be struck, are either severely damaged, dead or outright vaporized. Aside from Lightning, Weather Manipulation can create rain, storms, tornadoes, cyclones and other storm types that can destroy anything in their way.

Weapon Throwing: Thor can throw Mjolnir and Stormbreaker towards his foes. It also makes it that while Thor is disarmed for a moment, the weapon will always come back to him. The weapon throw is dead on accurate to it's intended target, meaning, very rarely has Thor missed whenever he throws his weapon.

Flight: Thor can fly with Mjolnir and Stormbreaker. However, he can also fly without swinging his hammer during combat.



Energy Projection: Guess what? Thor is not just about Lightning. Thor is capable of producing powerful energy blasts that are so powerful, one would think twice of trying to even get the full force behind them. Thor has produced multiple Energy blasts before, however, I will list only Three of his most powerful Energy Attacks that are worth mentioning.


  • Thermo-Blast: Thor is capable of producing a universe shaking thermo-blast which is capable of destroying entire planets and is equal in power to Ego the Living Planet. Ego is a Celestial who is powerful enough to create life and even destory it with just a thought.
  • Anti-Force: Thor is also capable of producing an incalculable blast that is so powerful it can destroy entire planets. The blast itself has even seemingly killed Mangog, who is the manifestation of hatred of a billion souls slain by Odin, with just a single emission. Due to it's contained power in the comics, it is entirely possible that the full force of the Blast is capable of ripping through the fabric of space and time....... 
  • The God Blast: By far, Thor's most famous, and his most powerful ability is the God Blast. Thor unleashes the God Blast after channeling magical energy through Mjolnir, once unleashed, the blast is omidirectional, meaning, no one, no matter how fast you are, can avoid it. The Blast is so powerful it has severely harmed Galactus, who is one of the most powerful entities in the Marvel Universe and feeds on Planets for power. Thor used the God Blast to defeat Hela, Juggernaut, Surtur, Ymir, Ego, Alter Ego and Zelia.

 

Barriers: With Mjolnir, Thor can create Barriers vortexes and force fields. In fact, his barriers are so durable, they can practically stop the Hulk's attacks from reaching Thor to begin with. What's more, Thor's barriers once contained a Life Bomb, which is so powerful it would have destroyed a fifth of the Marvel Universe without the vortex faltering. This is quite insane considering that Thor contained a blast that would otherwise kill millions upon millions in the galaxy.



Energy Sensing: Mjolnir and Thor can sense energy. In fact, they can sense evil, supernatural and mystical energy. It is also worth noting that Mjonir can sense energy output from someone in hiding.


Energy Absorption and Redirection: Thor can use Mjolnir to absorb energy and redirect it back. What is cool however is Thor has numerous feats with this ability that are outright impressive. Here is a list of Energy Absorption Abilities.


  • Absorbed Ultron's entire Life Force.
  • Absorbed Silver Surfer's Cosmic Energy
  • Absorbed Sky-Walker's Cosmic Tempest
  • Magneto's Magnetic Field
  • Pangoria's Planetary magnetic field.
  • Absorbed, Contained and redirect the entire energy of the Null Bomb, which is capable of destroying the entire galaxy.


Teleportation: By swinging Mjolnir around, Thor can teleport. However, another notable feature is that Thor can create Wormholes to travel through dimensions. Within the Wormhole, Time has no meaning, which meant anyone basically goes to their destination instantly. Thor has used this ability to send Surtur and Ymir to the Death dimension and even an entire population into limbo. Thor can travel through portals anywhere within the same dimension

Resurrection: Thor can use Mjolnir to resurrect any living being.


Matter Manipulation: Thor can manipulate matter to a molecular level to a vast scale. In fact Thor can transmute energy to what he chooses, like the time he transmuted Absorbing Man's Iron and Wood body into the Gas "Helium"


Alpha Particles: Mjolnir can harness the power of Alpha Particles from the atmosphere and vaporize weaponry


Negation of Mystic Energy: Thor can take away Magical energy from anybody. He used this ability on Juggernaut, which took away Juggernaut's invulnerability and on Mephisto, by preventing Mephisto from taking human souls to the Dark Dimension


Event Recall: Thor can use Mjolnir to recall past events.

Transmigration of Souls: Thor's hammer has the ability to manipulate souls.

Life Force Absorption: Thor used this ability on the super villain the Presence, who was forced to surrender to prevent himself from being reduced to a lifeless husk.

Illusion Detection: Mjolnir can distinguish images, holograms, and different illusions from reality: Thor once commanded the hammer to strike the demon lord Mephisto, who was hiding among false images of himself.

Inter-dimensional Messaging: Thor can used Mjolnir to send psychic messages between the nine realms.

Holy Object: As a former religious relic, Mjolnir is lethal to vampires. Thor once threw Mjolnir at a vampire, with contact causing the vampire to burst into flame and crumble to dust.

Transformation: When Thor was living on Earth under his mortal guise, he could use Mjolnir to transfer from his Donald Blake persona into Thor and vice versa. Thor loses this ability when Odin permanently separates the two personas. The transformation returns after Odin's death and Ragnarök restore Donald Blake to existence, allowing him to draw Thor back to Earth from the void once he finds the hammer, but for a time the two share an existence where they are distinct individuals who nevertheless have a similar memory.


Invisibility/Intangibility: Thor can make himself and others turn invisible or intangible. This makes it that Thor and his comrades would be virtually unharmed in combat for a moment. What's more, Thor can use this ability to take away Invisibility and Intangibility from his foes, like he did with Vision.


Immunity to Other Forces: Even without activating the powers of Mjolnir, Thor's hammer, enchanted by Odin, is impervious to nearly all forms of change, as he himself claimed that no power in the universe but the All-Father's could affect Mjolnir

Time Trave/Chronokinises: Mjolnir can bend space and time and allow itself and the user travel through time. While this ability was lost due to Thor being convinced by Immortus to help the population of Phantus from getting out of Limbo, Mjolnir is still capable of manipulating time afterwards. 


Allspeak: Thanks to the Allspeak within Mjolnir, the Wielder can understand and speak all known languages.


What about Stormbreaker????: As for Stormbreaker, yeah, basically it also has all of the abilities above :D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Odinforce











In the MCU, Thor can unleash the Odinforce. In this state, Thor's power is boosted by up to 11, and can now emit lightning in any direction from his body. It also makes Thor virtually unstoppable in combat and, if one is weak to lightning, would outright lose because the electricity from Thor's body would simply tag them anyway.





Feats for Thor




















 Of course, we have to end Thor's Info with his amazing accomplishments. While it will take pages worth of feats to do so, I will only list a handful of Thor's accomplishments. 


  • Officially, and cleanly, defeated an enraged Thanos
  • Defeated The Incredible Hulk numerous times.
  • Has Defeated Hercules in Combat
  • Defeated Loki multiple times, who is the God of Mischief
  • Has Defeated Surtur, Hela, Ymir, Ego. All of whom are above Universal level beings.
  • Has forced the Silver Surfer to retreat.
  • Defeated Iron Man's Thor Buster Armor, despite the fact it was literally made to defeat Thor
  • Defeated the Destroyer, who is virtually indestructible and impervious to multiple attacks
  • Defeated Juggernaut, who, when at full speed, can never be stopped..... except for Thor
  • Has helped The Avengers and the X-Men achieve numerous victories
  • Ended Ragnarok (Also thanks to a sentient Eyeball XD!!!)
  • Won numerous beer drinking contests
  • Kept up with Beta Ray Bill despite being handicapped by Odin
  • Destroyed Ultron's exoskeleton. Ultron is durable enough to take multiple attacks from Doctor Strange, Scarlet Witch and even Hulk.
  • Lifted the Midgard Serpent like a badass
  • Became great friends with Hercules despite being fierce competitors.
  • Portrayed by Chris Hemsworth
  • Has the coolest weapons in Comic book history.




Weaknesses












Despite his godlike power and his ridiculous capabilities, Thor is by no means invincible. Should Thor face someone equal to his power set, they could beat him in combat if Thor is to be taken advantage of. In fact, Thor's combat approach is pretty straight forward compared to other combatants. 

What's more, Thor is not necessarily the brightest fighter out there. He has been outsmarted before and even lost numerous times in life threatening situations. 

As for his Warrior's Madness, while incredibly devastating, Thor will be much more predictable in the fight because he always attacks his opponent with brute force alone while in Warrior's Madness.


Still, despite his flaws, Thor is absolutely badass. One of the most powerful characters in fiction, Thor clearly shows that he is the God of Thunder and a Warrior with an undying spirit for combat. Who would not respect this badass????? Bottom Line, Thor deserves my respect to the fullest.







Captain Marvel/Shazam



 
Billy Batson is a kid with an incredible fate bestowed upon him. After meeting with the powerful wizard known as "Shazam", Billy was granted the power of 6 gods (It is actually 2 gods and 4 demi gods hahaha). The Wizard told Billy that the power of those 6 gods will be in his possession if he could say "SHAZAM". After saying the word, Billy transformed into the mighty hero known as Captain Marvel....... However, eventually, over the course of his comic book life time, Billy became better known as just Shazam.

During his adventures, Billy has tackled the likes of Superman, Black Adam, Darkseid, The Spectre and even Wonder Woman. What's more, Billy himself became a member of the Justice League and, eventually became a vital member of the team due to his legendary powers. 


That is a brief backstory of Shazam. Now, let's see what this badass superhero can do.



The Acronym of "SHAZAM"







Before we look into Shazam's stats. We must understand what kind of powers he is granted first. Shazam, says, well, "SHAZAM" to trigger a transformation that gives him god like capabilities. The name is an Acronym that symbolizes the Gods that bestow Shazam's powers and abilities.

The Wisdom of Solomon "S": The Wisdom of Solomon gives Shazam the mind of a genius level intellect. It allows Shazam to have perfect photographic memory, an analytical mind that surpasses even the likes of Batman at times. And even allows him to hypnotize people with just a thought. It is also worth mentioning that the Wisdom of Solomon can allow Shazam to defeat his opponents using tactics and strategic removal of objects

The Strength of Hercules "H": The Strength of Hercules is the most straight forward power that Shazam is granted. It allows Shazam to possess superhuman strength

The Stamina of Atlas "A": The Stamina of Atlas grants Shazam limitless endurance. Meaning, Shazam can never go tired and doesn't have to eat, drink and sleep for long periods of time.  And, it also allows Shazam to breathe in space and water.

The Power of Zeus "Z": The Power of Zeus grants Shazam the ability to manipulate lightning. What's more, Shazam can also channel magical abilities that are not just electrical based. It is also worth noting that the Power of Zeus grants Shazam more defensive capabilities such as Magical resistance, Advanced healing by calling down lightning and even inter dimensional travel.

The Courage of Achilles "A": The Courage of Achilles grants Shazam the willpower to fight on for the greater good. What's more, he is granted invulnerability. And, it allows Shazam to tackle threats with no fear and will not stop until the conflict is resolved. Essentially, the Courage of Achilles turns Shazam into a "Boy Scout".

The Speed of Mercury "M": The Speed of Mercury grants Shazam the ability to fly and travel at god like speeds. It also allows Shazam to fly around space at Faster than light capabilities. What's more, the Speed of Mercury also boosts Shazam's reflexes, combat speed and even his running speed.




 


Strength




















Shazam, believe it or not, is possibly the strongest member of the Justice League in terms of physical strength. He is virtually dead even with Superman and has done a mountain load of strength feats that make him a monster. Here is a list of some of his best feats for strength.


  • Evenly matched with Superman. Superman is a multi galaxy level being and has infinite strength.
  • Helped Superman lift the Book of Infinite Pages.
  • Punched Superman multiple times, even going as far as to actually severely hurt him. 
  • Shazam can punch with such power, he creates black holes. 
  • Has hurt Wonder Woman through physical strength. Wonder Woman is highly resistant to physical attacks.
  • Managed to once punch Doomsday that sent him flying backwards. Doomsday stands still whenever Superman tries punching him.





Speed


In terms of Speed, Shazam is amazing. Here is a list of surprising speed feats for Shazam


  • With very little effort, Shazam can dodge energy attacks from the likes of Superman, Black Adam, Darkseid, and The Spectre.
  • Is officially stated to be faster than Superman. Superman is fast enough to travel around galaxies in less than a minute.
  • Is just a tad slower than the Flash. This is significant for Shazam, because the Flash himself has limitless levels of Speed that allow him to go beyond the boundaries of logic. The Flash himself said Shazam is still able to keep up with him even at full speed. 
  • Once outsped an exhausted Flash while running around the Earth.
  • Flew around the Solar System in mere seconds.  
  • Has travelled through Time.




Durability
















Shazam, in terms of Durability, is a badass. Infact, it is already established that he is granted invulnerability and god like endurance. Here is a list of some of his best durability feats


  • Equal to Superman in terms of durability and endurance. What is more, Shazam does not have the same weaknesses as what Superman has to Kryptonite.
  • Took punches from Black Adam, who is equal to Shazam in terms of strength
  • Took multiple attacks from Superman's attacks such as his heat vision, freeze breath and his fists
  • Is virtually immune to physical attacks
  • Has survived a Tesseract Bomb by the Void Hound, who is powerful enough to destroy 10 Star Systems in a test run
  • Tanked one of Darkseid's Omega Beams
  • Highly resistant to Magic










Abilities




        












As mentioned before, Shazam has been given the Power of 6 Gods. He possesses a vast array of abilities that are outright ridiculous and electrifying....... no pun intended XD!!! Here is a list of his abilities.

Super Strength
Super Speed
Invulnerability
Perfect Vision
 

  
Lightning Manipulation: Shazam's signature ability. It allows him to channel lightning to attack his opponents in combat. He can even use lightning for defensive purposes such as a shield barrier and even a power boost to his physical stats. 



Electrical Fists: Shazam emits electricity through his hands and can amplify his attack power with electrical attacks. He can use it for close quarters combat, or even emit a lightning ball that can knock back his opponent.

Electrical Healing: In what has to be one of my favorite healing effects in fiction, Shazam uses lighnting to heal himself from life threatening injuries. This ability is legendary, and it can make Shazam almost impossible to beat if he is not overwhelmed.

Electricity Absorption: Shazam can absorb electricity to help fuel his power. He can also absorb lightning that he himself created during combat.






 Darkseid War Shazam (New Gods)


 





















Darkseid War Shazam is a powerhouse. However, his Acronym now has different Gods with Different powers. Here is a list of the Different Gods and Powers this version of Shazam is given.


The Strength of Si'vaa "S": The Strength of Si'vaa grant's Shazam limitless strength. Si'vaa alone is so powerful, he is able to destroy the entire universe and is immune to any attacks from the New Gods both New Genesis and Apokolips


The Fire of H'Ronmeer "H": The Fire of H'Ronmeer allows Shazam to use Fire attacks. These attacks can also burn through metal and even other Kryptonians if given the chance to do so


The Compassion of Anapel "A": The compassion of Anapel is interesting, while Anapel is the Godess of Reincarnation, it never gave Shazam this sort of power. In terms of compassion, It allows Shazam to feel empathetic towards those who are suffering. It also gives Shazam a Genius level intellect, basically the same as the Wisdom of Solomon 



The Source Manipulation of Zonuz "Z":  The Source Manipulation of Zonuz allows Shazam to have multiple powers. Here is a list of powers used by Shazam



  • Superhuman Strength
  • Energy Projection
  • Invulnerability
  • Superhuman Speed
  • Superhuman Stamina
  • Energy Construct Creation: he created a energy net to trap Lar Gand.
  • Energy Absorption: His most dangerous ability; he could drain the life force of individuals or planets, adding to his own formidable power.
  • Illusion Casting
  • Telepathy
  • Teleportation
  • Telekinesis
  • Flight
  • Control over the Apokolips Fire Pits
  • Control over the Source itself

 The Boldness of Ate "A": Similar to the Courage of Achilles, The Boldness of Ate grants Shazam the same abilities. It allows Shazam to be very bold and virtually invulnerable



The Lightning of Mamaragan "M": The Lightning of Marmaragan is basically identical to the Power of Zeus. Except, the best part about it? It is from an Australian Aboriginal God of Lightning...... This is awesome!!!!!! On a serious note, it grant's Shazam lightning abilities. Unlike his previous version however, his lightning attacks can destroy planets easily and destroy some of the most powerful foes in the DC universe.



Overall: The Darkseid War Shazam is a monster in combat. It is virtually unstoppable and almost impossible to defeat in combat.







Feats for Shazam
























Shazam is a legendary superhero. But, we have to look at some of his most impressive feats in order to end his info. Here is a list of Shazam's amazing feats


  • Officially, and cleanly, outsold Superman in the 1940's by comic book sales. This is significant, since this era was in the "Golden Age of Comic Books"
  • Defeated Superman many times. Even more so than someone like Green Lantern and the Flash
  • Defeated Dr Sivana, who even had multiple moments of prep time against Shazam and still loses
  • Has defeated Black Adam numerous times, who is usually seen as Shazam's superior in terms of Lightning manipulation and intelligence
  • Is literally the only member of the Justice League to survive the Tesseract Bomb
  • Defeated a monster who absorbed all the powers of Superman, Martian Manhunter, Elongated Man and Aquaman
  • Defeated Mister Mind multiple times.
  • Helped the Justice League take down Darkseid
  • Darkseid War Shazam is a badass
  • Portrayed by Zachary Levi in the 2019 classic "Shazam!"


Weaknesses















Sadly, as much of a badass Shazam is, he is far from perfect. Infact, Shazam himself has lost numerous times in combat. Even Superman has won more matches against Shazam. And, Shazam himself lost to Wonder Woman, who actually did not require alot of prep time to defeat him. 

It is also worth noting that Shazam himself can be harmed by lightning that he himself never created. At one time, Zatanna actually used a lightning spell to revert Shazam back into Billy Batson. 

Also, since Billy himself is a kid, he has the mentality of a kid, and Shazam does tend to have alot of reckless decisions that would have resulted in his demise if not for his friends helping him.

It is also worth noting that Shazam himself can revert back into Billy if he accidentally says "SHAZAM", leaving him very vulnerable to all means of attacks for a moment. A clever enough opponent can exploit this weakness, giving them a huge leg up against Shazam. However, another version of Shazam does render this weakness nullified, since saying "SHAZAM" now allows Billy to actually cast magic and electrical attacks instead of calling down the lightining to transform him. 


Finally, Shazam, is weak to high levels of magic. As such, a powerful enough Magic user will defeat Shazam in combat.

Still, despite his flaws, Shazam is a badass and one of my favorite superheroes. Darkseid War Shazam in particular is absolutely awesome :D!!!!






Summary


Thor Odinson
  


 








Advantages

  • Much more experienced than Shazam in terms of combat and Feats
  • Much more versatile in terms of abilities 
  • Wields weapons, unlike Shazam who only has his fist for melee combat
  • Magic Negation will definitely end the fight since it takes away Shazam's "Mystical" powers
  • Has fought and defeated opponents who are genius level intellects, meaning, the Wisdom of Solomon is basically just  gonna delay the inevitable
  • Warriors madness allows Thor to overpower Shazam blow for blow
  • Should Thor unleash the Thermo-Blast, it is going to kill Shazam
  • Should Thor unleash the Anti-Force, it will annihilate Shazam
  • Should Thor Unleash the God Blast......... Yeah, you get the idea XD!!!
  • His stronger mental control allows Thor to resist Shazam's Hypnosis
  • Rune King Thor absolutely destroys even Darkseid War Shazam since it has much better hax and greater stats
  • Chris Hemsworth is more buff than Zachary Levi



Disadvantages
  • A tad slower than Shazam
  • Not as smart as Shazam
  • Never outsold Superman in the 1940's.
  • Should Mjolnir and his weapons be broken by Shazam, Thor is completely defenseless




Shazam
 
 










Advantages

  • Slightly faster than Thor.
  • Outselling Superman in the 1940's is no small feat
  • Is capable of destroying Mjolnir and Thor's weapons if he has the chance to do so.
  • My second favorite Justice League member behind Wonder Woman
  • Is a more relatable character 
  • Smarter than Thor
  • His Magic Absorption as Darkseid War Shazam can nullify Thor's Powers.
  • The Wisdom of Solomon can come up with a plan to defeat Thor 
  • Shazam! Is an amazing movie!!!

Disadvantages
  • Far less experienced than Thor in terms of Feats and Combat experience 
  • Far less versatile in terms of abilities
  • While the Wisdom of Solomon will help Billy, Thor's experience against genius level intellects means it will basically delay an inevitable doom to Shazam
  • Thor's Warrior's Madness will be far too much for Shazam to Handle
  • Darkseid War Shazam, while amazingly powerful and ridiculous...... Is absolutely slaughtered by Rune King Thor
  • All of Thor's weapons are magically created, meaning, they will harm and ignore Shazam's invulnerability 
  • Should Thor unleash either the Anti-Force, The Thermo-Blast or the God Blast, Shazam will not survive either of those attacks since they are all magical in terms of creation and power. The God Blast is Omnidirectional, meaning, Shazam will not avoid it anyway. 
  • Hypnosis is utterly pointless against Thor because Thor has strong mental control
  • Should Thor use Magic Negation on Shazam, the fight is over.



The Verdict
  
  

 









Thor vs Shazam is one of the greatest comic book fights ever. While this is such an epic fight to behold, in terms of the overall results. As much as I hoped this is a very close match, Thor would absolutely beat Shazam



Firstly, in terms of Stats, both Thor and Shazam are virtually dead even in Strength and Durability. However, Shazam does edge out Thor since his Speed does rival the Flash and surpassing Superman............ But Thor's encounters with the Silver Surfer and multiple celestials mean that Thor not only can keep up with Shazam, he will land a couple of blows on Shazam that will outright damage Shazam severely.

Speaking of blows, Thor's weapons are magical based. Shazam..... is weak to High levels of magic and Thor's weapons are created by High Tier magic by the likes of Odin and numerous Asgardians. This alone shows that Thor's Weapons will harm and even kill Shazam. Jarnbjorn and the Odinsword will definitely cut Shazam in half or even stab him through the heart.... instantly killing Shazam.

As for abilities, both Thor and Shazam are incredibly powerful. However, Thor wins this category thanks to his superior versatility and ridiculous amount of hax that would outright annihilate Shazam. Even then, Shazam's control of lighting is far less impressive compared to Thor's lightning manipulation because Thor's manipulation with Lighting is on a grander scale. Even Thor has created storms in space before. What's more, Thor can use the weather to actually put Shazam off balance, rendering his speed advantage kinda nullified here.


What's more, Thor's most powerful attacks like the God Blast, the Anti-Force and the Thermo-Blast will definitely kill Shazam. If Galactus was severely harmed by the God Blast, I have no doubt in my mind that Shazam will be killed by it. What is worse, the blast is Omnidirectional, which counter's Shazam's Speed by a landslide. So, should Thor unleash one of these three attacks, Shazam is dust.


Finally, we go to the more interesting question. Can the Wisdom of Solomon help Shazam? Well, yes, however, there is a problem. The Wisdom of Solomon has only helped Shazam during a fight for brief moments. That said, Shazam himself still has made mistakes in combat. It is not incharacter for Shazam to simply outspeed Thor by spinning in circles, Shazam almost always attacks head on just like Thor.


As for Thor, while he is not quite as intelligent as Shazam, his combat experience alone greatly helps him against Shazam. Infact, say hello to this!!!!






















Hello Loki, what can you do? Oh, that's right, you can use tricks to outsmart and outperform your opponent. You did this multiple times to Thor yet you still lose right? Well, that's that. Thor has battled Loki numerous times in combat, who is able to trick Thor multiple times. However, eventually, Thor overcame his tricks and became a smarter combatant because of it. So the point here is that Shazam's Wisdom of Solomon tricks will absolutely be detected by Thor to the point that it's power is really..... useless.


And another thing, The Odinforce. Should Thor unleash the Odinforce in the fight, Shazam is screwed. While Shazam is tough, his weakness to lightning means that the Odinforce would outright crush Shazam due to the lighting surges coming from Thor's body. This can do two things to Shazam

  1. Severely Harm or Vaporize Shazam
  2. Revert Shazam to Billy Batson, and even electrocute Billy in the process

On another note, The Warrior's madness.... Well, I think we get the idea where this is coming hahah.

And another note, while Shazam is powered by mystical energy.... Thor could simply take it away due to Mjolnir's ability to negate magical energy. This ends the fight very quickly

As for Rune King Thor vs Darkseid War Shazam. While the Power Boost is significant for both sides, Rune King Thor's Infinite Speed and Time Travel capabilities makes it that he would literally be untouchable by Darkseid War Shazam. In a sense, this would be a bigger stomp than before.



So, in my opinion, Thor will win this match up due to his Experience, More Feats, Powerful Weapons, Versatile abilities, The three blasts of "Death", Experience against Speedsters and Smarter foes, Warrior's Madness and the Odinforce. Shazam, your a badass, but sadly, your just "Child's" play for Thor. XD!!!




The Winner is Thor Odinson
