every trick included: thor wins. i mean, he could just teleport superman to a deserted planet without a sun, leave him for a couple of weeks, teleport himself to the planet and lay the smack down on superman even without his hammer.
Kind of defeats the point of fighting now doesn't it. Like to know how he catches him to do so, also.
Wrong, Superman does not win on strength alone. LoL, AGAIN - Thor has lifted Jormungand, the Midgard Serpent. ANYTHING Superman throws at Thor - heat rays, anything energy related - Mjolnir can absorb.
The. Entire. Earth. GROANED. Under. The. Weight. Of. Jormungand.
They are in the SAME strength class, and Hulk is above BOTH of them. Someone needs to do a little more homework on Thor.
I read a comic were DC version of thor sumoned wonder woman and superman. He sumoned them to help him defeat an army of demons from hell. Thor dies in the battle and superman weilds Thors hammer.After a THOUSAND YEARS of battle superman with a strick of Thors hammer sends the demon king back to hell.And also he never killed not even a demon.

I agree, the comic character of Thor possess all of the aspects of the Norse god. Thor is the strongest god in the Norse pantheon. I'll go ahead and assume people know enough about Superman. But obviously, hardly anyone knows the true power of the god Thor. Superman is faster but not stronger. Thor has been known to possess limitless strength and is only destined to die at Ragnarok. In other words, only the end of the world can defeat Thor. Also, Superman has a vulnerabilty to magic, which is what Thor draws his strength from. This battle has been debated a lot since even before the JLA/Avengers crossover and most people admitted that Thor could beat Supes. The reason that Supes defeat at the hands of Thor never came to fruition was because of an arguement by DC. DC's arguement was: Why should our top hero be defeated by second rate character (second rate in popularity that is). In other words, it was politics that led to Thor's defeat in the recent crossover. Even the people at Wizard Magazine did a "what if" battle and they gave it to Thor. As strong as Supes is, he cannot beat a god. Especially one brimming with magical power.

Agreed. People need to realize that superman is just an alien that draws his powers from the sun. He's not a super powerful cosmic entity.
You can debate powersets all you like, but DC would never in their right minds allow their top hero superman to lose in a crossover battle. It's their top product and they will protect it.
The way i see it is the it took Hulk 3 days of fighting to even get on Supermans level of stregth and then even after that Banner had a heart attack,so i doubt that Thor is as strong as Supes seeing as how DC characters are more off the wall then marvel, not to mention Superman has moved a Planet before so that is a pretty good show of stregth, second Supermans speed would be to much for Thor(even though Supes never uses is). Im going with Supes on this one he is to much for Thor.

As has been said, Superman doesn't lose crossovers. Yet there are supposedly numerous characters in DC that could take him down. Thor is more powerful than plenty of those, especially now. Half the time Superman exhibits powers he had Pre-Crisis when he's fighting a crossover opponent. Like I said, pre-Crisis Superman takes him apart, but current Supes vs. current Thor, Thor is way too much for him. And what happened after the Avengers attacked Supes in your picture gallery?
Can Thor or his hammer sense when there's energy to absorb? And is it a constant thing or does he have to "flip the switch" for it to start pulling it in?
I do not know how the hammer works to absorb energy but I can tell you that in order for the hammer to absorb energy thor has to turn the hammer around. As if he is going to attack somebody. That is its on and off switch if you ask me.
And lifeisaglich, was that the fan voted crossover? Are all the vs crossovers fanvotes? No matter, they don't hold much water most of the time.
Fanvotes I do not know but if you look at the fight scenes between superman and thor despite what most people say I think this one was done quite well.
And superman did not defeat thor with one blow.
And can some please tell me why people like to exaggerate about things like this?
