Superman is well known for his insane instant speed. Thus this fight is no contest if it really happened.
No disrespect to Thor, but his creators made him a bit to slow. Gladiator puts up a much better fight against Superman.
Lastly, you and others are hypnotizing yourselves into thinking of what will happen in a comic, where I'm thinking what would happen if I blinked these characters into existence and they fought.
In a comic Superman would win a slight majority as was shown in Avengers crossover. In reality Superman would win all the time due to the combo to ko principle.
Thor >>>>> Science.
Hell, Superman >>>>> Science.
And you're wrong. Thor is well know for his reaction speed. He's been cited as being as fast or faster than the lightning he commands. Superman is known for being fast sure, but if you want to go that route, he's more well know for sheer movement speed, not combat speed. By comparison, Thor is shown to have FTT and FTL reflexes in comics plenty of times. I'm not disputing that Superman can fight at high speeds, but all these scans of Superman being shown recently is him traveling. In comparison, his combat speed is seldom shown with him being FTL. Again, not claiming he can't do this, but by your own logic, Superman isnt known for what you're claiming he can do.
His creators (Lee/Kirby) made him in response to the Hulk as a potentially more powerful being than him and wiser (in a godly sense) than Reed Richards. Hell, Classic Thor would give Superman a harder fight than his current counterpart would.
And no, we're not. We're taking into consideration Thor and Superman's CHARACTER as well as powerset into account in a forum setting. And a forum setting does not = reality.
