No, even current MCU Thor (post-Love & Thunder) isn't definitively stronger than Hela, especially near Asgard where her power is amplified; she overpowered him in Ragnarok and is the Goddess of Death, with comics showing her consistently dominating him, though he gains significant power with Stormbreaker and awakened lightning, but Hela's connection to Asgard makes her nearly unbeatable on her home turf.
Hela's combat skills were superior even to Valkyrie and Thor, who are immensely skilled and powerful Asgardian warriors in their own right. She quickly overpowered Thor in their first confrontation and ultimately beat him in their second without much effort, even gouging out Thor's right eye with her Necrosword.
These are the most powerful versions of Thor from throughout Marvel history.
She was ignoring the worthiness enchantment, ignoring the hammer's Uru-enhanced durability and with the addition of energy unique to her as a person channeling Asgard's energy, she could destroy even the incredible Mjolnir.
Thanos knew Tony with his brilliant intellect is the only one who can stop him. Even The directors have stated that Thanos most feared Stark. Not due to his physical power, but his intelligence and shared "curse of knowledge".
And much like the grim reaper, Mistress Death's true form is a skeleton but she can changed into a woman (if so desires) and if anything happens to her (like being captured) then death itself would stop. Thus, in the comics Thanos actually falls in love with her and wants to prove his love to her.
Magic: Hela has gifts for magic, being able to manipulate it in her form of Asgardian magic. Upon earning her crown for her act of mercy with Odin, Hela received a wide range of Asgardian magic that transformed her robes into white armor and allowed her to contain and redirect Odin's energy attack towards himself.
The enchantment, however, held that if Mjolnir left Thor's grasp or was removed from his person for more than 60 seconds, both would revert back to their mortal states until they were reunited.
The screenwriters said they deliberately ended “Avengers: Endgame” with Thor still in his heavier state to prove that his weight was inconsequential to his arc in the film. “He's emotionally resolved. We fix his problem, and it's not his weight,” Markus said.
Vidarr represents the strength of resilience and vengeance, showcasing his power through his actions during Ragnarok. So, who is the strongest Norse god? If we consider physical strength, then Thor takes the crown. However, if we consider mental strength, and magic abilities, then Odin is the strongest.
Thor's standard historical strength level has been a 7 (out of 7) in the STRENGTH category on Marvel rating systems (e.g. old trading cards, Marvel Handbook, etc.). This means he can lift over 100 tons.
Thor, already hurt from the battle with Hela, is likely to have put up a fight despite not being in the best of condition, got cornered and overpowered from various wounds inflicted by either Thanos or the Black Order, seeing he was drooling blood. The most important factor of all, Thanos had the Power stone.
Hela has vast mystical powers which she can use for various effects like limitless astral projection while retaining many of her powers and abilities, firing deadly bolts of energy from her hands which can age or even kill Asgardians, levitation and the creation of illusions, she can manipulate the dark magic.
Chris Hemsworth's real-life daughter, India Rose Hemsworth, was on set as a baby during Thor: The Dark World, appearing in behind-the-scenes footage alongside her dad. Years later, she officially joined the MCU as Love, Thor's daughter, in Thor: Love and Thunder.
No, Thor 5 isn't officially confirmed with a release date, but it's heavily rumored and in active development, with Chris Hemsworth returning and discussions happening at Marvel Studios for a potential Fall 2025 filming start, likely bridging his story from Avengers: Doomsday towards a conclusion, potentially adapting comics storylines like Rune King Thor or Black Winter, with potential director interest from George Miller, though Taika Waititi is out.
Captain America has lifted it, as has Loki. However, one of the more surprising characters to lift Mjolnir was Deadpool - but unlike some of the others to wield the hammer, the moment wasn't as it initially appeared."
Valkyrie is an Asgardian. She was part of a legendary force of women warriors that seemingly all perished. When Odin ordered the Valkyrie to drive his daughter Hela, the Goddess of Death, into a prison of Odin's making, she alone survived the assault thanks to another's sacrifice that saved her.
here something you didn't know. Thor got hela pregnant and had a son name modi thorson. In the mythology she is the daughter of Loki as well. That was a weird twist, but it being sibling rivalry wasn't too bad.
Firstly, Asgardians grow more powerful as they age. This is how she could smash his hammer in the beginning of the movie. And then, the main reason, she and Thor absorbed the Odin-Force. In the Marvel Universe, the Odin-Force is only second, maybe third, behind the Infinity Gauntlet and the Phoenix Force.
Thanos knew he couldn't beat Asgard, so he waited for opportunity. It came as Odin's death and Asgard's destruction. He was WAITING for it.
THOR & HERCULES: ENCYCLOPAEDIA MYTHOLOGICA (2009) #1 identified Hela as the daughter of Loki and a frost giant named Angerboda, bringing her in line with her counterpart in Norse mythology. That lineage also makes her the sister of both the Midgard Serpent and Fenris.
However, Red Skull saw his true intentions, informing Gamora that Thanos was, in fact, weeping for Gamora, as he truly loved her as a daughter, and was heartbroken that he had to sacrifice her to get the Soul Stone.
