    Default Is Thor as strong before with his metal arm?

    I actually fully understand Thor not being as powerful as before without Mjolnir. That weapon provides all manner of exotic abilities that Thor himself can't really access.

    However, I've always wondered about the metal arm, does that arm have the strength that Thor would have normally? Somehow, I doubt it.

    It's just something I've noticed lately because Thor does seem ....weaker than before. He got his head fractured by Hulk and apparently Namor is around his level now (or above it now). I know he defeated the Juggernaut off panel but he just seems a little weaker than before.

    It's not the arm it's the Aaron.

    Thor's strength has always waxed and waned over the years. Depending on what the metal arm is composed of (Uru?), I imagine his arm strength might have changed. But a person's strength isn't just in their arms. No more than the vitality of a tree is just in its limbs.

    I think Mjolnir absorbed all of Thor's competence, battle history, and real power (on-top of his personality) so it could give it to Jane .

    No way, Jane always had a better personality than Thor.

    Thor had a golden arm in Walter Simonson run as well.

    Totally wrong. He had a suit of armour with a gold-coloured arm in the Simonson run, which he was wearing because Hela had depowered his bones, making them brittle.
