Hal Joirdan vs Thor...In a race!

[Jcogginsa]

Hal Jordan and Thor Odinson must race from Earth to the other end of the Milky Way Galaxy and back. Which one of them wins?

In pure flight speed, Thor should own this, as he's flown across the universe in tiny amounts of time before without using gateways and without really hurrying.

If it's "make a portal" time, well, Thor has much better reaction speed, but his portal-making might take a moment of spin up, whereas Hal probably just has to think.

Can Thor breathe in space or endure the nearly absolute zero temperature? In Thor Annual #6, Thor was rescued in space by the original Guardians of the Galaxy, where they found him floating unconscious and encrusted with ice. The MCU even did a version of that scene in Avengers: Infinity War, with the MCU version of the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Thor has many many showings where he has been totally fine floating around in deep space.

[Pendaran]

Thor's showings of being fine in deep space span.. a loooooot of Thor's history at this point, that's not an issue here really.

You been around long enough to know this isn't an issue, lol. You even cited an Annual. That's like, one step above a What-If?

Eh, annuals are just fine.

It sounds funny to say because it is about Thor and his natural enemy speed, but Thor might actually win this.

[Captain Morgan]

The crossing the universe in six seconds feats isn't SMvsFL, right? I vaguely recall Thor having other ridiculously FTL travel feats but it has been a long time since anyone brought them up here for a Superman fight.

How bizarre that Beadle hasn't made some sort of commentary on "Joirdan".

If there’d be a pun worth making, I might have, but alas...

A couple of the ones that come to mind for Thor just off the top of my head for pure, casual, fly across universe really-fast-like stuff:

1. At the beginning of the God Butcher arc, Thor was flying all over the universe, looking for information. The narrative in the comic mentioned that he was just casually flying all across the universe like it ain't no thang.

2. At the beginning of the Roxxon / Dario Agger / Roz whatshername arc, Thor was on the other side of the universe, she paged him for help because Frost Giants, he flew there and rescued her in moments. It is explained pretty definitively in the text.

There are loads of others, those are just two that popped into mind.

I really hate when writers say ‘the other side of the universe’.

Yeah, I get that. Comic writers, strangely enough, have generally spent very little time studying physics.

Should be more 'Thor is at the centre of the universe. Meanwhile, at another centre of the universe....'
