Claimed what exactly?
The only thing impressive about this is that Superman flew out of orbit so it had to pack some punch.
He got hit with a rubber chicken. The very premise of this arc makes you taking this feat as some uber serious showing silly. He could have dropped the Universe on Clark's head and he wouldn't even get a scratch if Joker didn't want him to.
Honestly? I forget, something about him holding back against Harley more so then Superman.

Stipulations - This is a pure hand to hand slug fest. Thor does not posses Mjolnir and cannot use his other powers. Superman does not posses his other powers such as flight, heat vision etc. It's all strength, durability, endurance and so on. Also, just to make things more effective, let's say they each posses the same level of speed, somewhere in Quicksilver's vicinity and the same experience.
Who wins? [/B]
This is current Superman?
Pre new 52 ranged from losing a fight with Lex Luthor, to beating Kobra, whp's a decent martial artist (Good enough to give Mr. Terrific trouble, who's a master of many forms of martial arts himself.) In both cases, he had no powers.
I don't know.. I can see this fight going like Thor vs Beta Ray Bill did. Almost a 50/50 split, but I'm leaning towards Thor under these conditions..

Classic Thor wasn't bullet proof I don't think but over the years he became more and more resistant towards artillery, I think at this point he's most likely going to have bullets bounce off him then not.
Not really sure why it was such a point of contention, the one thing Classic Thor didn't have a problem with was damage soak and durability. The dude was tough as f*ck, especially the Lee/Kirby version. Why does his resistance to bullets matter in a fight with Superman? If he consistently gets written like he was under Lee/Kirby, I'll trade him being bullet proof for that in a heartbeat.
I'm off, curious how this thread will turn out.

You are now going on tangents. Joker destroyed the universe with an ACME bomb. He was surely packing his powers in that shot. Joker wanted superman dead.
If she survived it, he must've not using his powers.

He wasn't.
Not really. Superman shrugging off a pissed EJ's shot is more impressive.You are now going on tangents. Joker destroyed the universe with an ACME bomb. He was surely packing his powers in that shot. Joker wanted superman dead.

Alright, Emperor Joker hit Superman and did absolutely nothing. Clearly he can resist that level of power. Oh wait no, he ripped Clark's heart out easily and it was made it clear he can erase Superman or all of existence with a snap of his fingers. Do you get the point? He got hit with a rubber chicken and you want me to somehow compare that with Thor withstanding Odin. When the whole comic was reality warping craziness and the only thing indicating that it packed any force was the fact that Superman flew into orbit.
Here Joker casually one-shots Superman with a kick (That's what happened right?):

You see my point? Superman entire power-set irrelevant here. Joker could drop a Galaxy on Robin and have it not do anything or one shot kill Darkseid with a bullet.
😬 Joker was aiming to kill Superman with that shot? Is that what you're saying?
You better double check the scene, it might not even have happened in that arc, it's been such a long time.
Originally posted by Rage.Of.OlympusI suppose it depends on your definition of "Classic Thor". Either way, he's certainly had showings of bulletproof, not like it matters. As you said, he's got one of the best damage soaks...PERIOD. He takes beatings that would kill most other top tier heroes. Especially on the magical resistance side of things.
