Thor vs Superman

Started by Zack Fair453 pages

I want Marvel to give Thor a clean lifting feat at least once. He hasn't had anything impressive/planetary since god knows when. I'd like to say current Thor is in Hulk and Superman's tier strength-wise. =\

I try to come fresh in each debate. Too many people argue with bias against some posters because it gets in their nerves, that's rarely for the best.

You might've noticed that kind of stuff.

I noticed many others use bias to counter my objectivity. It makes me sick.

Answer the question, since Thor going all out doesn't imply using all his exotic abilities, or just Thor hitting harder. Tell me what does it imply?
Really I invite to read Hel on Earth storyline or his last 2 pages of his fight just before he died when he fought DD. Or the Dan Jurgens Interview the creator of DD. SM doesn't need to regenarate as fast as the Hulk since he's harder to hurt, but given his durability advantage as long as he's under a yellow sun the end result is the same.

Again read the Hel on Earth storyline and see falacy of your statement. [/B]

He uses some other abilities but he hits a lot harder.

You admit the conditions need to be right in order to benefit him.

Game, set, match.

Yep.

Appears Superman has the votes ftw.

Another scan that shows Superman's lack of experience will get him hurt. Badly.

Superman's not that strong. That's dinosaur strength right there. Green.

And at Super speed, too!

Well they made it so because instead of being knocked down from the hammer throw he would have a hole in his chest. 💃
Your fanfiction doesn't means its a fact. Superman has taken up people far more powerful in magic than Thor and punched their teeth in. Superman won, deal with it.

Superman won but had to have his magical weakness removed which means they perfectly realized his inferiority in that fight. Glad to see how you would feel in reversed scenario tho

😮‍💨

So you concede that Thor needs a weakness in Superman to win a fight, he isn't powerful enough to beat him on his own power. Good.

At normal speeds?

He'd be in risk of Thor godblasting him.

That's as likely as Superman T-voing Thor's ass.

😕

A godblast would take Supes down brah.

And a soulfire darkseid buster would take down Thor too.

Energy drain is a rapid attack.

Superman has excellent resistance against draining.

Surfer isn't as good as Parasite in absorbing power. Also Superman has resisted getting drained by far better energy absorbers than surfer.

Superman helps in making another small sun and resists his energies getting drained by the sun-eater when others fared much worse

And the aftrementioned sun eater was so powerful that it needed the full power of Parallax to beat it.

And it destroyed thousands of worlds, devouring light and heat was its main power.

Superman still resisted being drained by it.

So, yeah. Not happening.

Superman is stronger, more durable, faster and likely more manoeuvrable if the fight was to reach the sky, but he does not want to be eating too many Mjolnir shots. Thor is the slight underdog as he is against Hulk imo but as ever his lightning is the potential trump card. It could turn the tide quickly if he catches Superman in a full on blast.

It's a shame Thor rarely actually fights like a god and instead is depicted more as a berserker warrior, because his powerset is amazing.

Eh, Thor isn't the underdog against Hulk.

If the two fought again in comics, people would more surprised if Thor won than if Hulk beatdown Thor imo.

In an entirely physical match? It'd be a good showing for Thor, but nothing above his pay grade to be honest. If they were all out Thor would get rid of Hulk in seconds (it happened in Fear Itself, by the way).

Thor's usually the slight underdog against Hulk, because he usually engages him hand to hand.

But Thor clearly has the greater power set, and has shown in the past that he can BFR Hulk if nothing else.

On the other hand Surfer's usually the underdog against Thor, whilst Hulk is always the underdog against Surfer, so they seem to have the whole Rock, Paper, Scissors thing going on with the big 3.

Don't try to disagree with me while trying to appeal to my species pride! I won't fall for you Quan tricks. sneer

Actually, I've always thought this match was mol even.

That's actually an apt way of looking at Marvel's big three.

Hulk is rock. Rock SMASH scissors and paper! durhulk

Thor fights mostly physical even when going all out and that plays into Hulks hands. That's how they fight in the comics, that's what is in-character for both and Hulk usually comes out on top or least appearing physically the more powerful.

I agree with majority of this. If Thor fought like Surfer did with his powers against Hulk he would be far more successful than just trying to beat him to death. Surfer has Hulks number because he uses his powers intelligently and stays away from h2h.

You're probably better off not answering people who consider Thor the underdog against the Hulk 😄

Somehow the green giant weasled his way into this discussion.

Hey carrying on the Thor teleprting discussion here as it's more appropriate:

I think I've never heard about that teleporting to red sun strategy i a Thor vs Supes thread, nice thinking.

Regarding the scans, we see energy comming from Thor's hammer a few panels before the actual teleporting, so while it was pretty fast I wouldn't say it's instantaneous.

I thought about that earlier myself, but they are still some nice arguments that I'm glad you brought.

Found a scan of a much more instantaneous teleport, but it's an old one:

While traditionally, Thor's spun Mjolnir to create a whirling vortex in order to teleport, he can also just simply zap people and teleport them. Here, he zaps and teleports Ulik in Thor #279:
