and in direct melee thor has kicked his arse so why wouldn't it work for kal exactly? again, what is loki going to do to put kal down for good? blasts? no chance. he's not transmuting him (he needed surtur's power to change thor and when thor got back to asgard and was po'd he smacked loki around like a child). illusions could buy him time, animating stuff could buy, going astral/intangible could buy him time, but what will he do exactly that will ko supes? people say this is a bad match for kal, but frankly, this type of 1on1 physical confrontation is also very bad for loki. i'll gladly admit to being wrong in this case if someone wants to make a REAL case for loki somewhere.
and loki smarter than clark? i'd doubt it. more clever? perhaps, but with clark's experience, speed and strength, it will take more than cleverness.
It doesn't hurt that Thor is already highly resistant to magic as well as equipped with a weapon bordering on plot device when it comes to his stepbrother and foiling his schemes. Loki has the firepower to put down Superman. He's a top tier sorcerer, and Superman has had trouble with lesser magical beings.
Loki has also taken blows from the likes of Thor and the Destroyer Armor and was only staggered momentarily. I don't see what Superman is going to do against an opponent who can literally just avoid/evade any and everything Superman can do.
The thing is, even in a one-on-one fight, why would Loki bother fighting Superman in physical terms? He can phase, use telepathy, blast him with magic which WILL effect Superman, can radiate radiation, summon magical weapons, shapeshift, etc.
Loki can discharge blasts of magical energy which can stagger the Thor Corps, all beings resistant to magic or wielding weapons which can counter effect it. To say that Loki's blasts won't phase Superman is a bit much, imo.

superman has battled and defeated uber magic in the past so his weakness to magic is often overrated.
loki's blasts WOULD hurt, no doubt, but kal could take them AND they have to hit him first. a band of frost giants kicked loki's a$$ physically! the idea that he can't be beat down physically is entirely wrong. he can try and summon his sword but again, he needs to hit with it. the idea that he's a 'god of magic' is a tired argument. balder is the 'god of light'. his body is magic and he's an uber warrior. is he beating superman too? darkseid is the god of apokolips yet a lot of good that's done him. loki has never had a battle against someone like superman. loki could take some, but supes gets the solid majority imo.
