Thor vs. Superman: How close (or far) apart are they?

So yes you are right.
Superman>Thor
Hawkeye > Captain Atom
Wonderman > GL

oh and superman was lucky Venom wasn't an avenger this time

Wonderman beating a GL and Hawkeye beating a Cpt Atom aren't out of the question. We've seen far more ludicrous upsets and match ups in these 2 comic universes.

For sure, although not so much the Wonderman Kyle scenario. Kyle would beat him more often than not but Wonderman can get a few wins as well.

I agree...especially against an inexperienced Kyle. after he got used to his powers he would take a healthy 7-8/10.

anyway all i wanted to say is that a single battle is not evidence about a character's superiority

Since we are on the subject of JLA/Avengers... It was most interesting when Thor answered 'Aye' to Aquaman's reversal of Thor's comments when he referenced Supes and his unparalleled might.

He also said he has his measure now and that another bout might hold surprises for the Kryptonian. And Aquaman then says, either way, Thor's right.

After answering, "Yes."

'Might' hold surprises doesn't mean will. Obviously, Superman has Thor's measure as well and another bout might hold even more surprises for Thor too.

Which is before Aquaman ends up agreeing with Thor's statement anyway.

I think it's obvious neither character went all out and their exchange doesn't certainly provide enough evidence to state "Yes, this is how their fight will go ten out of ten times".

Joking, right?

No. Superman sure as hell didn't go all out, and I can't see how anyone would agree that he did. The same applies to Thor. Did they both want to win? Yes, but given both of their numerous high end feats, it's obvious they didn't use every advantage to their upmost ability.

Only except we didn't see any high level super speed blitzing, counter vibration, planet busting strikes from Superman or any Godblasting, weather manipulating, Mjolnir fueled planet busting strikes from Thor. I guess if we just ignore both character's feats and showings, we can assume they went all out, sure.

Do you think it's enough be a slight advantage or a big one?

Slight one definitely. I think Thor at his best is above Wonder Woman at her best, and at her best shes able hold her own against Supes.

But Superman is meanly portrayed at a higher level. Do you know what i men by mean, in this context ?

I still laugh when Superman says "He might be the single toughest opponent I've ever faced". Granted even though we didn't see the full fight its obvious that both combatants were nowhere near going all out and both have had numerous fights that were harder against more powerful opponents. A real all-out fight between Superman and Thor would have destroyed part or all of the Planet.

Exactly. No slight against Thor, but that statement is bullshit, and I would say the same if Thor said that about Superman. Both men have fought beings FAR beyond the other.

Whether you believe Thor or Superman is the superior character, only someone severely misinformed or just biased would say they both went all out.
