nah, i didn't mean strength. i think physically, they're pretty much identical. but i think thor has the 'intangibles' - experience, the 'warrior god/never be defeated thing'. i just think if it came right down to a live or die battle between bill and thor, thor would somehow find a way to be the winner. i think supes would likely beat thor as well. i know everyone says the magic will be the difference, but supe's has fought a LOT of magic in his day and he's still standing. just because there's magic involved doesn't mean supes loses automatically, which seems to be what many 'round these parts think - not you specifically, khell.
i've always loved all 3 characters, but after all he's done, i always find it hard to pick against supes.
He needs to hit him with the magic. Going all out, Supes wouldn't allow that.
Supes has awesome physical advantages over most opponents. And I'd say that physically he is more powerful than either Thor or BRB. Not by huge amounts, but enough to make a difference.
And Leo - I agree with you totally. People seem to think that any magic involved automatically means Supes loses. It doesn't. He's fought more magical enemies than most people have had hot meals.
Supes has the experience, the speed, the strength and the durability to take BRB.
