someone posted wonderwoman was better than thor.
While Supes has the edge in speed and flight (Thor gets pulled by his hammer; he doesn;t really fly.), once again Thor's warrior training and combat experience would give him the edge he needs to have more of his blows connect, eventually laying the Kryptonian flat. It's all in the name: Super-Man; Thor, God of Thunder.
You guys, it's really all in the universes. If you go comparing direct numbers like how mcuh each person can press and how fast they can react and fly....Of course superman is going to come out on top in paper. THe DCU is just WAY overpowered. Where Marvel characters a 100 ton strength rating puts them @ the beginning of the TOP, DCU is more like 2000 Tons.
But I mean, you can't compare direct numbers. Think about Thor and think about superman....Don't you just wanna put your money on Thor?

Not-so, not-so. It does not depend on the universe; strength levels are constant. DC comics simply does not list strength levels. All Superman fans can do is speculate about Superman's strength. They have no concrete figures provided by DC. Hence, there is the assumption that Superman and the rest of DC's heros are drastically overpowered, and superior to Marvel's. It simply
isn't true.
From the picture, it is obvious that Superman and Thor are evenly matched in strength. Class 100 strength does not mean that a character's maximum strength output is 100 tons. Class 100 means that the character can lift 100 tons or more.
For example: Colossus, who can lift 100 tons, falls in Class 100. If Thor could lift 1,000,000 tons, he would also fall in Class 100. Class 100 simply means "Strength > or = 100 tons" Thor can lift a hell of alot more than 100 tons, and so can most Marvel strongmen. There are a few exceptions, (Thing, She-Hulk, etc.) but most of Marvel's strongmen, (Drax, Hulk, Thanos, Juggernaut,) can lift more than a couple thousand tons, and some of them can lift much, much, more.

OK........ but i found that pic on someones fan art site....... so i don't think it should be taken as concrete evidence....... although it does seem likely that they would be fairly even in terms of strength
they don't even have the right grip for arm-wrestling........ lol
