h2h, late 80's/early 90's Byrne CIS on (So no speed blitz)

I'll just consider speed equalized, for the sake of the thread. So everything up to DoS?

Superman beats him unconscious.

Hand to hand, no powers at all?

Except for their strength/durability, no.

Superman KO's him eventually.

Odinson wins.

Odinson. Far more skilled and just as strong.

Superman, but it isn't easy for him.

Giving this to Thor. Later Superman can take it.

Yeah. A Good CHILLAXIN would do Robbie some good.

Byrne era, by no means equals weak Superman. But Thor is by no means weak either, and with equalized speed, and some hand to hand advantages that I would assume Thor has, plus his good chin and warrior spirit, it's hardly unfathomable to believe this would be a split.

I think a split is too high but he might get a few.

I'm currently reading back through that era, and it's surprising how much he struggles with D listers and mundane situations.

I mean, losing to the f'n Fearsome Five? Struggling with electricity, unable to one shot K.O. Mammoth (Who in turn was trolled by Gizmo who turned a dumbell into 97 tons, and couldn't even lift that much.)

Best feat as of the 80's, was surviving a 40 megaton nuke (From a Joker built Superman robot. I guess the pre crisis insanity writing died hard..) And he was so worn out, he fell flat on his face when he tried flying off.

Adventures of Superman was the worst offender. Supes couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag, and got worn out from simply trying to bring a plane in.

You should see some of the early Thor stuff, especially Journey into Mystery.

For all the complaining we do about low-showings, the further we go into the past, the more they were the norm for most characters.

Byrne was pretty adamant at the beginning to show some limits, but they soon evaporated by the late 80s/early 90s.

Huh, so Thor wasn't able to lift a tractor at half strength? He wasn't koed by a mortar?

All of that is propaganda?

Odinson wins. Deal with it.
