Honestly, can you even read?
Mjolnir senses energy, but I don't think it'll sense a counter to those energies.
Thor could probably tell that Superman was powered by solar energy, but he wouldn't have any way of telling that he's weak to red sun energy.

Yeah, he is quite enigmatic in DCnU. Not that red sun was common knowledge in preboot DC either.
I agree, in some of his earlier appearances the police noted that they had only seen him go tops 600 mphs. So he's obviously gone out of his way to keep his power-level under wraps. If the 5 day earth-feat is anything to go by, then Superman's not even aware of his own limits.
It won't be long though, before some writer turns all this around. There's always some comic where a couple of kids know all about heroes from 'the internet'.

When Mjolnir drains all the energies present in Super Man, then Thor will know what powers him. Common Knowledge or not.
And how many times has Thor used energy draining against an opponent? 4 or 5 times in last 50 years? Superman has used more speedblitz beatdowns than that in one year.

And the feats are getting ridiculous at this point. He has four above planetary feats in less than two years and has a feat that is quite frankly absurd. Ripping doomsday in half? If he uses that strength against Thor, it would be over before Thor realizes what's going on.
DCNU is quite insane in his consistency.
But he's not the one Thor's fighting here.

He's absorbed the power of, and reignited suns with Mjolnir no problem.

Energy absorption is something Thor only uses against the most dangerous opponents, and something that literally just kills his opponents. It's just sucking the life out of them.
Speed-attack is basically Superman's staple attack. It's his go-to strategy.
There's no point in counting feats when Superman appears in far more books, and you're comparing Thor's ultimate attack to Superman's normal one.

No limit to what Mjolnir can absorb though.

Not a fair comparison.

Not that draining him is quite that useful, he would be back at full power in no time due to how fast he charges up.
And that's why its futile to use that here. Its like me arguing Superman T-vo's thor's ass like he did against Dominus.

And on average Superman doesn't charge fast enough to resist getting hit once, and being killed/knocked out.

T-Vo him how?
And it's not nearly as likely when you look at the percentage. There will obviously be more incidents of Superman using T-Vo because he has around 2-3 times the appearances that Thor does.
Originally posted by krisblazeAnd how is that any different from ordinary draining.
Energy drain by way of magic?
He'd be dead.False. Even by magic, Arthaza drained Byrne Superman to an old age and to be quite human level in strength. Just after destroying her power source he was back to full power. And there is Starbreaker who drained everything from Superman. Superman still resisted the weight of a damn planet.And on average Superman doesn't charge fast enough to resist getting hit once, and being killed/knocked out.

And even in that state he was moving continental plates.

So, Superman doesn't just withers away when someone drains some energy from him.
T-Vo him how?Like everyone else.
And it's not nearly as likely when you look at the percentage. There will obviously be more incidents of Superman using T-Vo because he has around 2-3 times the appearances that Thor does.I wouldn't be so sure. Thor has 50 years of comics to draw from, several of which have silver age wackiness.
