Out of all of the characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Thor, Asgard’s king and the God of Thunder, is one of the strongest. He has appeared in many films throughout the franchise, including his own trilogy and all of the Avengers titles.
Throughout these movies, Thor has proven time and time again how powerful he is as he fights against some of the other strongest characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Out of all of the battles he has fought, a few stand out as Thor’s best.
11 Thor Fought Hulk On Sakaar
When Thor went to Sakaar in Thor: Ragnarok, he had to fight one of his closest comrades. Not knowing that Hulk was the opponent he was forced to battle against, Thor was thrilled to see him and hoped that they wouldn’t fight after all. However, to Thor’s surprise, Hulk attacked him anyway.
As the two of them were both given weapons in the battle, Hulk attacked Thor with his, while the God of Thunder blocked. This caused Hulk to kick Thor into a wall and charge at him. Once he got close enough, Thor knocked him to the side, hoping to end the fight there. It was far from over, however.

Hulk grabbed onto Thor and began pounding him into the ground before tossing him to the other side of the arena, causing his fans to cheer. After that, Thor decided to fight for real and hit Hulk several times while dodging his attacks. Thor even destroyed Hulk’s axe, leaving him weaponless. The two then began fighting with their fists as Hulk knocked Thor’s Sakaaran War Hammer out of his hand, with Thor overpowering his friend.
Once Thor retrieved the Sakaaran War Hammer, he was about to strike Hulk, who used his hand to block the attack and punched Thor across the arena again. Hulk pounded Thor until he used his lightning abilities to nearly win the fight. While it should have been Thor’s victory, the Grandmaster sabotaged him, allowing Hulk to be hailed as the winner.

Not long after, Thor and the other heroes confronted Thanos, where Thor took his enemy’s advice and decapitated him. While Thor may have been able to kill Thanos, Thanos still achieved everything that he set out to do.
6 Thor Fought Loki And The Chitauri With The Avengers
When Loki sent the Chitauri to invade New York City in The Avengers, Thor teamed up with the Avengers to defeat him. Thor and Loki began fighting on the top of Stark Tower as Black Widow and Hawkeye shot the God of Mischief from inside of an airship. Once Loki blasted the ship, Thor, who was outraged, began beating his brother up.
Once he stopped, he tried to convince Loki to end his attack on the city and work with him to defeat the Chitauri, only to be stabbed. Thor then continued to beat Loki up, slamming his body onto the floor before the God of Mischief escaped. From there, Thor joined his teammates in fighting the Chitauri.
5 The Avengers Won The Battle Of New York
Under Captain America’s orders, Thor attacked the Chitauri that were coming from the portal with a huge lightning strike, defeating them before they could harm any civilians. He then joined Hulk as they fought a group of Chitauri on a Leviathan. Upon defeating all of them, they also killed the Leviathan, crashing into a building in the process and going their separate ways as the battle continued.
Thor joined Captain America in fighting another group of Chitauri, with the God of Thunder taking most of them out. As the battle waged on, Thor and the other Avengers, most notably Iron Man and Hulk, defeated the rest of the city’s threats. Together, the Avengers were able to save the world for the first of many times.
4 Thor Fought Hela When She Took Over Asgard
At the end of Thor: Ragnarok, Hela and Thor fought each other in order to determine who would rule over Asgard. At first, Hela beat him up and cut out his eye, as Thor felt like he was too weak without his hammer. However, once he understood that his hammer wasn’t the source of his strength, he struck her with lightning.
Thinking that she was defeated, Thor then helped Loki, Heimdall, Valkyrie, and Hulk fight Hela’s followers on the Bifrost Bridge. Once they took them out, Thor, Valkyrie, and Loki noticed Hela walking toward them, not beaten yet.
3 Thor Defeated Hela With The Help Of His Comrades And Surtur
Thor and Valkyrie teamed up to fight Hela while Loki left to summon Surtur. Despite both of them attacking her, Hela was easily able to hurt Thor and Valkyrie more. However, once Loki was able to summon Surtur, she was distracted, allowing Valkyrie to push her down.
Thor then shot Hela with lightning one last time, winning the battle as she fell off of the Bifrost Bridge. While she survived Thor’s attack, Surtur finished her for good moments later, proving that Thor’s plan was necessary to kill the Goddess of Death.
2 Thor And Thanos Fought Once More
After Thanos achieved his goal of taking half of life in the universe away, the remaining superheroes found a way to bring back those that disappeared in Avengers: Endgame. A past version of Thanos learned what they were doing and went into the future in order to defeat them so he could use the Infinity Stones to destroy the universe and create a new one in his image.
Thor, Iron Man, and Captain America attacked Thanos at the same time. Though the three of them were able to attack Thanos much more easily than they were in the past, since he didn’t have the Infinity Stones, but he was able to divide them. Once he did, Thanos beat Thor up and pushed him into the ground. As Thor summoned his axe, Thanos grabbed it and nearly killed him, but Captain America came to the rescue by striking Thanos with Mjolnir.
1 Thor Helped Save The World And Defeat Thanos
Later on, Thanos tried to get the Infinity Gauntlet, causing Thor to team up with Captain America and Iron Man once more to stop him, with Captain Marvel joining them as well. Thor used both his axe and hammer to fight as Captain America leaped onto Thanos’ back, only for the alien to take both of them out.
Luckily, Iron Man was able to take the Infinity Stones and used them to save his friends and the rest of the world. Iron Man may have saved the day, but without Thor’s help, Thanos would have won once again.
