Yes. My sense is, DC simply would not let its flagship character lose, especially to a non-flagship character (at worst, perhaps there'd be a tie). They'd call upon Superman's ability to rise to the challenge: something he seems to do better than any other character, which is why you either hate him or love him. Would this be PIS? Depends on how you feel about Supes to begin with. One could say hell yeah it's PIS. One could also say, but this is what Supes
does: this is the 'essence of the character'.
Forum fights are another matter. Because the above about Supes is arguable, I tend to leave it out. This means that, even if Thor doesn't quite match Superman in physical ability, he still has the power and versatility of Mjolnir, which he will use to 'full-potential', especially if both character's are entering this battle with 'access to complete intel on their opponents'.
