Powered-up Superman versus Upgraded Silver Surfer

Sundipped Superman is a planet mover. Indeed, I would not give Surfer the strength advantage--not that he couldn't amp up (especially wih Mjolner), but even if he did, Superman is more experienced in h2h.

But h2h is not likely anyway. If nothing else, Thor will have advised Surfer to stay clear.

I'm not aware of any speedfeats by SD Superman, but regular Superman seems capable of about 100 cee (eg, to the sun and back in mere seconds). SD Supes + ring is likely millions of times faster. I don't know if I would give either the speed advantage.

As to the strength of the Surfer's will: ask Mephisto what he thinks.

A big part of this battle is gonna be energy projections, and in that area Surfer excels. He has decades of experience; heck, it's in his nature to project energy.

Just want to clear a few things up:

1. Thor will be training Surfer to master Mjolnir, not in anything else.

2. I selected Surfer rather than Thor because I find more similarities between Surfer and Superman. They're both aliens who have become protectors of Earth whereas Thor is an asgardian god.

3. I selected Mjolnir instead of some other weapon (quantum bands) because I feel that people know more about what Mjolnir offers and it is a more interesting weapon than quantum bands (which seem to just amplify the user's powers)

The Surfer is no protector of Earth, he is currently Galactus' herald once more - searching for planet for Galan to feed on.
