Deadpool would be dead so fast.. Well maybe not dead, but by the time he puts himself back together he will be too old to care.
I would say Gandalf, Gandalf is an angel so his power should be on the level of Thor. Thor was repeatedly troubled by magical opponents like Loki or Amora. So I say Gandalf would win.

I've read LotR and The Hobbit, and only seen the movie for Thor, so keep in mind that's my basis for my opinions - I.e. I haven't read the Thor comics.
Most of Thor's power seems to be contained or at least channeled through his hammer. Gandalf, in Return of the King, used magic to separate Aragorn from Elendil (sword) by basically setting it on fire forcing him to drop it. I would guess that this would severely cripple Thor's power. Gandalf also forced Saruman, who was himself a powerful vocal enchanter more or less, to follow his commands with regard to control of his body with his own voice..
So, if we're talking Gandalf the White, my money's on him. The Grey? More of a competition, but I would still put Thor at a disadvantage.

I've only seen the LOTR movies once and never cared enough to read the books,so what's with the whole grey/white gandalf thing?
I know he came back after falling in that pit, but when I saw it I pretty much just understood it to be on the same level as random power ups you see in anime where an important character suddenly comes back being more powerful than before he got defeated, with little to no explanation.

It's pretty similar to the impression I got from the books. I don't remember exactly how he was powered up... he was wearing one of the three elven rings of power at the end of the last volume/book.

From reading Silmarillion here's what I gathered:
The creator god of the world Eru Ilúvatar created Ainurs, if we are speaking with biblical terms then Ainurs are like Archangels. Ainurs are responsible for creating Middle Earth, but Men and Elves are direct creation of Eru Ilúvatar. With Elves being the first born, beautiful and immortal, men being second born, mortal and prone to mistakes.
Anyway, serving under Ainurs are Maias, again in biblical terms they would be angels. Sauron and Gandalf are both Maias. Sauron's master was the most powerful Ainur who was corrupted and in order to help the people of middle earth, Ainurs sent the seven wizards to the mortal land to combat Sauron. Gandalf was described as most wise but not the most powerful.
After the battle with Balrog, as I understand it, Ainurs basically gave Gandalf a promotion, made him the new white wizard.
So like Thor wizards are all divine beings, I would say they are on the same level. Oh and if you think wizards don't really seem that powerful, it's because they were specifically instructed by Ainurs to NOT use their power if possible, as a reminder that they are there to guide the people of middle earth not to rule them.

Gandalf would win.
Because he would just steal the one ring, use it to sneak up behind thor and whack him with his staff and cause a head injury, severe enough to make him bleed.
and because hes mother flipping Gandalf.

Gandalf is immensely afraid of the ring and its powers
if i recall correctly he wouldn't touch it him self

Which Thor? There's like 50 different versions of him, all with varying levels of strength.

Correct. He knew he could use it and do some good but was afraid he would be corrupted by it to become a horrible tyrant.. The ring gives the wearer power, but also taps into the power of the wearer... none of the very powerful people in the book could bring themselves to want the ring for them self for more or less that reason, save Boromir.
