Thor vs Superman

Well like most times im going with Thor he actually has the speed advantage over Supes...Also Strenght is about even....Supes<<<<<<<Magic=Thor........I actually dont even think this is a debate either Thor 9/10

Thor with a speed advantage, where's that from?

During Blood and Thunder, while observing Thor in battle, Adam Warlock says that Thor is "as fast as the lightning he commands!" Adam isn't known to hyperbolize. Lightning travels at about 18,940 miles per second in earth's atmosphere. Thor is easily as fast as Superman. In hand to hand combat, he's likely faster.

Thor has god-like reflexes as well.

Thor once blocked one of the Phoenix's psi-bolts (which travels faster than the speed of thought) with his hammer, and bounced it right back at her in Thor #428. No hammer-spinning, just reflexes.

The narration says "A telepathic bolt of unmentionable fury instantly races toward the still groggy Avenger! But then, with reflexes honed in a thousand battles, the mighty Thor instinctively raises his hammer!"

The psi-bolt was about two feet in front of his face before he raised his hammer, and Thor was disorientated when Phoenix attacked him.

Can someone explain to me if Thor is that fast, why the hell does he lose to lesser characters. I he influenced by a jobber aura?

If Thor is always written properly what use would the other Avengers be?

by KISS thou I lost.....

lol had to revive this thread but I think Thor is gonna win. why?

Powerful though Superman is, he has two major weaknesses: Kryptonite and Magic. Thor happens to be packing an awful lot of the second.

Since John Byrne's revamping, I'd have to say that Supes strength level isn't any greater than Thor's either. His damage resistance might be marginally higher against physical attack, but as I've noted, Thor's got magic at his disposal as well.

As for Superman's other powers, we've seen Thor block all kinds of rays with his hammer, so heat vision doesn't seem to be much of a threat. Thor's had run-ins with super-speed opponents before, and Superman doesn't actually do much fighting at super speed, anyway.

And Superman doesn't really have much skill at combat. His opponents are usually either unskilled themselves or so much less powerful that skill never becomes a factor. Thor's fighting abilities are honed to a razor's edge from fighting extremely powerful and well-trained opponents.

Besides, we have seen Thor fight the Shi'ar Guardian named Gladiator to a stand still, and Gladiator is basically a knock-off of Superman.

Thor prevails after a long, brutal fight.

I think I finally have a handle on this one.
1. Thor w/o hammer: Supes wins, 8/10
2. Thor w/ hammer as club/projectile: Supes wins, 6/10
3. Thor with hammer and full energy-wielding potential: Thor wins, 9/10.

Basically, in terms of sheer strength, speed and durability, Superman is tops. But once Thor brings his energy powers to bear, that's it for Big Blue.
