your claims that superman is way beyond thor in strength is pure garbage.
I have many Thor comics (paper versions of them). I have way more Thor comics than Superman comics believe it or not.
Busting a planetoid is nothing in comparison. Punching dimensions closed is unquantifiable (He had herc's help too) and still weak, as he already had a dimension in front of him, whereas Superman did what he did without a dimension being in front of him to punch.
Being stated to do things is not a feat. It has been stated that Superman can destroy planets with a punch. A small planet? Superman has feats that SHOW (not stated) more than 50 Earth weights of force.
Pulling the midgard serpent isn't that impressive in comparision to Superman's feats because:
1. The Serpent was in ethereal form as the panel stated and only the head materialized as the handbook stated. The Serpent was magically crushing the Earth (not physically). So Thor lifted the head and indirectly broke Serpent's magical grip on the Earth. He did not really lift a full materialized Serpent's body. He just lifted the head and broke the magical grip. Which is still impressive but still peanuts in comparison to Superman's top feats.
2. Assuming the Serpent was fully materialized (he lifted the whole weight of it) then it is still nothing to Superman's top feats where are over 50 Earth weights of force.
3. The boat supplied much power to Thor. Thor's arms are only 5ft. He can't pull a Serpent the size of the Earth completely off the Earth without the boat pulling him away.
Launching the viking into space was not canon. Also that only shows strength in the hundreds of millions of tons. Which isn't .01% of the stuff Superman has done. Superman hitting Lobo to space and thru a very durable Alien spacecraft (where the walls very several feet of thick durable metals) is astronomically more than the Harald Jaekelson feat.
The world tree is unquantifiable as is Superman's lifting infinite weight (as in the book with infinite pages). I don't use those feats but only quantifiable ones.
