^ This is not a pick your favorite hero thread. This is pick a hero who would be the best protector <most powerful/versatile etc>.
It's funny how you picked Thor but claimed Superman is millions of time faster and stronger.

Its the countless people who have lost loved ones, homes, and businesses that lose.
Honestly, I know Superman isn't a coldblooded killer but there has to be a point where his clear conscience comes at an unreasonable amount of pain, death, and suffering caused by his failure to permanently rid the world of scumbags like Luthor.
Totally agree. He just keeps shoving luthor in jail... which luthor just keeps bailing out of. You know at some point I would have gotten frustrated if i was him... and if i didn't have the stomach to kill luthor then at least i would have broken his arms and legs or something.
Thor, SS, and GL (not sure about firestorm) all have superpowered beings as arch nemesis... but supes, he gets flustered all the time by the human lex luthor. brilliant man, but still human. ofcourse, what more can you expect from a guy who has a gf who can't tell a man's identity when he wears eye glasses.

Supes is the most reliable power house out there, that's why he's Earth's greatest hero.

Thor is mentally unstable. goes crazy often, got daddy issues, etc etc.Silver Surfer is nothing but a glorified erand boy.
Hal is a good 2nd option
Are you saying Kal doesn't give a crap about his father?

By that rationale why doesn't Thor get rid of the baddies in New York? He's a god and he can kill...why doesnt he?

if you were to add up the amount of people that had been killed because of superman failing to save them, and tallied that against Thor or Surfer's count, i'm pretty sure Superman would have a decent count, if not the best of people saved.

Thor does kill when absolutely necessary. Superman is too much of a boy scout imo.
like superman has never killed when it's necessary? he will if you push him far enough. people really seem to forget that sometimes.

Depends on how you define "people." The Surfer regularly saves entire planets full of sentient beings making his total somewhere in tens if not hundreds of billions saved.
Thor probably has about the same if not more than Superman if you count all the times he's saved Midgard from invasion/destruction by the forces of Surtur and Ymir. At roughly six billion a pop, that adds up quite quickly.
Fundamentally, I just have a problem with Superman's tolerance for villainy before he'll start with the death-dealing. Its just inexcusable to me that Superman has let Luthor live considering all the death and destruction the latter as leveled against the innocent over the years.
People detract from the Silver Surfer because he's suppose to be some sort of pacifist, but I think that label applies more to Superman than the Surfer. If I'm going into a fight, I wouldn't want the boyscout on my side. I'll take the cosmic philosopher who'll readily kill if he finds it necessary.

Superman thought that Black had killed Lois and still didn't off him. Of course, Superman doesn't really stand a chance against the new Manchester Black, but still.
