The OP doesn't state anything about Superman having Mjolnir. let alone him being worthy.

I'm aware. Superman doesn't need the hammer.

No it isn't. You are leaving out certain conditions. Under the conditions Superman can achieve the feat. But almost anyone can with continuous blast ability.

I'd also note that the landscape Thor busted was hollow, as we saw a bit later in the scene-

So his bolt really just set of a chain reaction that destroyed the top layer of ice.

No he wouldn't. He would specifically need Mjolnir, not just a hammer. And I don't see any stips in OP that grants him Mjolnir.

A cave was shown under part of it, that doesn't mean it was completely hollow. after all, mountains also have caves, are you claiming that mountains are hollow?

Interesting.

We know that Ice is, for the most part, a brittle element. However, the scene is impressive because it wasn't a small portion of Ice being shattered, but actually, we see a chain reaction in where a vast surface of Jotunheim succumbs.

However, a lightning power resides in that of electricity and heat, not only raw impact. So, the feat isn't one of raw impact, like a punch.

So, can Superman replicate the exact same feat? Will the ice crumble the same way?

I don't see evidence to believe such. They are different attacks and the Ice should react differently.

Faulty comparison.

The "glacier" Thor's bolt crumbled was hollow. There was nothing but dead space under the first several feet of ice. It didn't just have a few small stray caves running through thousands of feet of solid ice, lol. Also, rock=/=ice.

What I'm saying is that the feat would have been much more impressive if the landscape had actually been a solid block of ice and not just an icy shell.

So the ice was just floating there with nothing to support it, that means it must have been supported by magic.

So, Thor's feats is now collapsing a large area of magical ice. thanks for making his feat much more impressive.

You're....not good at this. confused

Watch the vid I posted FFS. The upper surface of ice was being supported by a handful of ice pillars underneath-
(please log in to view the image)


THAT is what his bolt crumbled.

That only shows a very small area, kind of like a cave. thanks for proving me right.

Yeah, that's the one I was looking at as well. It definitely did not "level" that building. It took out a good chunk off the side but that's about it. The area of the initial impact was all that was damaged, whereas Thor's slam had continuous and far reaching repercussions.

I will say though that this feat is still impressive in that Superman and Zod didn't hit the building directly but that the damage was due to the force of their collision. However, it still pales in comparison to the destruction that Thor did.

Yeah, because thor struck a hollow iceberg that collapsed in on itself because he took out the support.

Bingo. thumb up

Realistically all you'd have to do is take out a few of those pillars and the entire thing would then collapse in a domino effect. Pretty obvious that's what happened there IMO.

Afterall, we've seen Thor's lightning attacks strike the -solid- ground on several other occasions and it didn't cause anywhere near that level of collateral damage.
