Who fares better off against energy blasts, Thor or Superman?

Started by Allankles5 pages

As far as invulnerability goes there are reason why Supes is the more invulnerable of the 2 imo - bio aura, very high sub atomic density.

Of the two, I too would peg Superman as the better at taking energy blasts to the flesh.

Though with the hammer, Thor has the overall advantage.

very close

Energy Blasts: close, slight edge to Supes
Damage Soak: Thor
Cutting: Supes
Blunt Trauma: close, slight edge to Thor

IMHO

Thor overall.

Someone should probably make a thread on who can take more celestial energy blasts and keep fighting. If there isn't one already that is.
The answer is rather obvious.

Superman.

For every Celestial there is Dominus.
For every neutron star narration comparison there is double-blackholes.
For every center of the Sun there is the same, plus more.
etc.

Dominus could have easily destroyed Superman multiple times. Dominus was a reality warper but then again so are cc's and Celestials are higher on the food chain than they are.

Prime showed us he can easily blast through his hand for one. Secondly, you are judging this by feats and feats alone while ignoring how they stack up against each other.

The sun also powers superman up so that's a special circumstance for him.

Supes is definately ahead of Thor in terms of taking the first few hits of general damage but slowly seems to become less impervious in tough fights where as Thor seems to get tougher the longer the fight goes on. There's a zillion examples of Thor getting pounded to the ground then getting back up and turning around the fight. But for energy blasts I gotta go with Thor, he seems tailor made to take them and if he uses his hammer then forget it, there's nothing further to talk about in this thread.

This is the perfect post. Great way to put it.

Lets not even forget about Doctor light one shotting him with an energy blast or a celestial type being, imperex almost killing him with another blast (which darkseid had to save him).

Dr. Light ****ed with Superman's solar radiation IIRC, it wasn't a straight-up energy blast.

Again with the lowballing. But if you actually understand, you would understand that it's not lowballing.

Imperiex=Galactus. If not stronger
Light messed with his cells

Though, I doubt any of this makes sense to you

How does Imperiex equal Galactus?

Why is it low balling for me to give my reasons on why Thor is more Durable?

Where was it stated that Doctor Light messed with his cells?

Where is it shown or mentioned or some kind of proof letting us know that Imperex= or > a celestial or Galactus?

He thinks if you bring up a loss it's low balling a character.

Well he's wrong because he does it all the time with Silver Surfer and Thor.
