This Is The Power We've Been Waiting For!!! the bounty hunters have nedded this power for a long time. I mean who ever heard of Greedo HELPING Boba stand up, more like shoot him in the back. I was just thinking to myself "how is hasbro going to make a SP that will let a guy be a loner" and low and behold they make my day and bring one out. Great Job webhead.

Thor's attack is allot like how I imagined hulk would be way back when we were all just dreaming of marvel attacktix. I thought the hulk should smash enemies with an overhead downward strike.
Thor is very cool.

Thor looks pretty cool, but I was hoping he would be a standard Striker that rotates at the waist. I don't see how the downward strike is going to have much potential for multiple knockdowns. The speed and base size make it pretty likely that he'll get to throw down with that hammer at least once.

Yaggleberry Finn, I agree with you. The upward/downward strikes make it much harder to achieve multiple knockdowns, and the downward hammer crush makes it even harder than the uppercut, as the force of the strike goes right into the table, rather than up in the air, where gravity can then impart some more kinetic energy to the struck figure.

I've always though a downward striker would be cool. Lightsaber need be on guard now, this downward attack will pick off any figures extremities.

Question: IS that a sai in Elektra's hand or was I happy to see her and she didn't like it (looking down)..nah must be a sai. Too bad they decided to not paint it silver.
Punisher is disappointing as he should've been akimbo like the Destroyer droid, though. Castle and I share philosophies about weapons: Why carry one when you can carry two!
Thor may have multi-kill capability if hitting the kingpin of a formation - depends on the spring strength. The other option may be similar to the chirpa strike/reverse JK lightsaber attack where you pull the weapon in the opposite direction of the intended attack method, and hope the plastic strength allows for a strong enough springiness to make an effective attack.

I would think, if Thors Hammer is as wide as it looks you could take out 2 or 3 figures (if they are in close formation) with a whack in between them. But that power is very cool. So Thor gets K.O.ed, his Power activates then you Place Opponents Figures for maximum destruction then bring in some other strikers and finish them off! COOL!

Thor looks... interesting. A downward striker is something that I'm worried about the ability for multi-killing and the like but it's innovative and I love innovation.
Another oddity is Thunderclap. Who besides the various lightning weilders in the Marvel universe (Storm, Thor, that one Thor rip-off who's name I can't remember) will be able to have this power and have it make sense? Then again, Force Push can only really apply to Jedi in the Star Wars universe so now my entire argument dies in 3.4 seconds. Funny how that works ;D. The power does look interesting, however, and a good percentage could make it very useful.

I have noticed that the Marvel universe has a lot more "genre-specific" and player specific powers: Thunderclap and Last Man Standing rather than the generic "Attackback" or "Recruit". I am liking that the individual figures are even more unique than ever with these new powers and whatnot. Good move on the part of Webhe...Hasbro.

Of course the alternative would have been to call 'Thunderclap': 'Forcepush' which would make no sense whatsoever, so if they really wanted to give Thor the power they had to rename it.

I like Thor. I am however not too excited about this figure. I am digging the gigantic hammer though!
