Why can't Thor beat Superman?

That seems to be the genral consensus around here. I'm asking why, Thor seems to be more powerful and versatile. So, what does he lack?

Too slow.

Speed
A keen tactical mind

The only reason that Thor has as good a chance as he does is due to his magic abilities, which Superman is weaker towards than regular attacks. Superman has superior speed, durability, and strength, especially the speed part.

Thor is too slow, and he fights like a total retard.

If he used his versatility to his advantage, he'd beat Superman for a majority and he'd most certainly walk a fight with the Hulk.

However, since he uses Mjolnir for little more than banging nails, and knocking heads, he gets pretty handily beaten by both Superman and the Hulk.

I've seen him block once! durthor

Superman's speed/strength combo pwns.

He can beat Superman.

I just think Superman would take the majority in a fight.

Thor can beat Superman 😐

Maybe... if Superman didn't use his speed effectively.

He can, but he probably wouldn't.

Superman is just so much faster. If Thor did some sort of area of effect attack that got Superman off his feet, he could win a few.

And it doesn't hurt that Thor fights like a retard.

He can....odds are just against him.

While I'd wholeheartedly agree that Thor has NO chance of keeping up with Superman in pure speed, travel or fighting, I'd say that he has the reaction times not to be speedblitzed as easily as you seem to imply.

He's shown some pretty handy reaction times before - I believe even deflecting a telepathic blast from the phoenix. One would assume that the Phoenix's telepathy would travel pretty quickly.

But, regardless, assuming that Thor could react to Superman (and, I don't think it's a stretch to say that he could), he could pull off all sort of shielding/dimensional 'hooplah' to nullify Superman's speed advantage, or even win in a single BFRing attack.

However, since Thor fights like a retard...

if he fights smart with shields, and other mystical attacks would due superman in...
the same reason why Hal and Kyle can take the majority over flash.

and like soljer said, supers can easily be Bfred by Thor.

They can fly are both smarter than Flash have incredible speed and virtually unlimited versatility? Doesn't really apply IMO 😬

Take away Mjolnir and Thor is barely a peer to MM... and realistically, from the descriptions that Marvel has given...should be closer in scale to Aquaman than Superman.

Mjolnir is Thors best chance...unfortunately with Superman's insane combination powerset..it's tough to edge out wins on him.

That's really not that easy.

Thor moves and thinks in slow motion relative to Superman. He has not a chance in Asgard of defeating Big Blue.
