Durability.

JakeTheBank
Just based off of pure durability or the ability to avoid/negate them?

Pretty much even

JakeTheBank
I'd say they're pretty much even, too (the diplomatic answer, yeah, but it's accurate lol). I think the composition of the energy blast matters a bit more to Superman than it does to Thor, though. Anything with a specific radiation frequency (see: kryptonite/red sun) or magical in nature effects Superman a little bit more than it would Thor.

Standard energy blasts, though, they're pretty close.

Kris Blaze
Thor can take energy blasts better.

Superman is better with physical punishment.

They're about equal in telepathy.

I think you did it kind of backwards.

Superman>Thor energy blast/Sharpnel

Physical punishment, Thor>Superman.

SoulDevourer
their about equal for physical

Thor definitly owns for energy attacks

Hmm....

Superman has a few weaknesses that hurt him here, Magic, Red solar energy and kryptonite.

I believe Metallo has blasted him with Kryptonite based energy before

~Bibeasts guys were energy, third not classic thor, he is post JMS and the second wasn't from a planes cannon.

It depends on the blast for me. Thor would look better than Superman against magic based energy blasts, not saying that Superman would get raped by one, but he's more vulnerable to magic. Non-magic based energy attacks could be seen as even to me especially if we're not counting energy blasts composed of his weaknesses like kryptonite and rd sun energy.

Yup. I am talking about regular energy blast in general. It's rather stupid to use their advantage in this kind of thread

You said they are equals but against magic,k-nite, red solar energy it's in Thor's favor so how is it equal taking all these things into consideration.

This is a durability thread. Not how Thor would do with magic blasts, and manipulation of blasts.

This is a durability thread. Not how Thor would do with magic blasts, and manipulation of blasts. It's against all blasts. If you want to argue equals you have to change his weaknesses. If you want to say Thor is better against magical, etc. but equal to him otherwise then feel free to do so.

You can't just discount a weakness here bran.

Blanket
So you made a thread talking about just blasts... now you want to include Superman's weaknesses and expect this to be talked about?

Thor is more durable than Superman because magic, K-nite, and red sun energy are Superman's weakness. Even if Superman isn't fighting those things, Thor is still more durable because that's his weaknesses. Logic takes a nosedive.

Pure durability doesn't include 'circumstances' to where they can be effected only by a certain type of wavelength.

You created a lopsided thread (spite) though, in place of a before acceptable one.

It does though, as durability has nothing to do with weaknesses. It has to do with the character's origin.

But like I said, Thor is more durable than Superman because Superman is weak to K-nite.

Great spite thread. thumb up It isn't spite. No one's even fighting here. Some people might disagree anyways.

Some posters even think that magic isn't even a weakness to Superman anyways.

It's a spite thread against Superman because Thor will win this thread in a landslide. You like Thor, seemingly hate Superman. Seems likely.

A spite thread doesn't have to be targeted against people fighting.

Anyway, Thor makes Superman look like a rookie here.

Since you consistently cried over the mediator of all comics being unfair the weaknesses are thrown out here.

Yes it is. If you knew you were making this thread about a character that has a weakness why not just use someone like Surfer who doesnt have as many weaknesses. Its pretty obvious if you made a thread the way you just did that Thor would be victorious since he doesnt possess close to the amount of weaknesses Superman have.

Against Sharpnel, Superman>Thor
Bluntforce Trama, Thor>Superman
Energy attacks, about equal but I'll give a small nod to Thor since he has taken blast from celestial, the destroyer, Odin, etc.... and was still awake.

Right, not bias at all. You and H1 are the least bias here.

I sense a hidden (quan)bias preventing you from shouting Thor in this very thread.

Truthfully, no. You overrate your range on here.
I've always seen Thor slightly below Supes in strength while they were fairly even in durability. Way before Rage of Olympus came along (when everyone else learned of Thor).
Thor's damage soak helps him a lot, which I believe is higher than Supe's. But on the other hand, it seems more is needed to affect Superman, but when it does, it would do more to him than Thor, if that makes sense.
Like I said, fairly even. Giving either the nod wouldn't be wrong.

Rage slants Thor a little bit higher than most would though as he's a diehard Thor fan. He won't admit that the Hulk is stronger than Thor when sufficiently angry.

OF Thor's ribs got broken by Bor, which obviously isn't a low showing.

Normal, standard energy blasts?

Probably even. If i had to pick one, Superman.

Kasper Gutman
Energy blasts...I gotta go with Thor. Being able to come back again and again after taking celestial blasts was pretty amazing for a below skyfather character.

Supes is definately ahead of Thor in terms of taking the first few hits of general damage but slowly seems to become less impervious in tough fights where as Thor seems to get tougher the longer the fight goes on. There's a zillion examples of Thor getting pounded to the ground then getting back up and turning around the fight. But for energy blasts I gotta go with Thor, he seems tailor made to take them and if he uses his hammer then forget it, there's nothing further to talk about in this thread.

Kasper Gutman
Someone should probably make a thread on who can take more celestial energy blasts and keep fighting. If there isn't one already that is.

Kris Blaze
Bran brings up a good point here.

Thor can take more punishment, but Superman has a higher degree of invulnerability. It takes a bit more to reach the point where you hurt Supes, but once you do he will go down faster than Thor.

Allankles
As far as invulnerability goes there are reason why Supes is the more invulnerable of the 2 imo - bio aura, very high sub atomic density.

Q99
Of the two, I too would peg Superman as the better at taking energy blasts to the flesh.

Though with the hammer, Thor has the overall advantage.

Warlord
very close

Mshinu
Energy Blasts: close, slight edge to Supes
Damage Soak: Thor
Cutting: Supes
Blunt Trauma: close, slight edge to Thor

IMHO

Superman.

For every Celestial there is Dominus.
For every neutron star narration comparison there is double-blackholes.
For every center of the Sun there is the same, plus more.
etc.

This is the perfect post. Great way to put it.

Prime showed us he can easily blast through his hand for one. Secondly, you are judging this by feats and feats alone while ignoring how they stack up against each other.

The sun also powers superman up so that's a special circumstance for him.

Lets not even forget about Doctor light one shotting him with an energy blast or a celestial type being, imperex almost killing him with another blast (which darkseid had to save him).

Again with the lowballing. But if you actually understand, you would understand that it's not lowballing.

Imperiex=Galactus. If not stronger
Light messed with his cells

Though, I doubt any of this makes sense to you

Why is it low balling for me to give my reasons on why Thor is more Durable?

Where was it stated that Doctor Light messed with his cells?

Where is it shown or mentioned or some kind of proof letting us know that Imperex= or > a celestial or Galactus?

it's lowballing when you bring up a low showing and try to portray it as the average.
