This is a pretty close fight since both combatants are very powerful and about equal in different categories. Nimrod’s strength may not be quite on par with Thor’s, but his lasers help to even the odds. Nimrod even took down the Juggernaut, which is a pretty good feat. I think Thor’s speed should help to get rid of Nimrod’s usual advantage and turn the tides. Thor wins.

Speed is definitely a crucial factor. The Others? From the horror film?
