I blame a lack of reading comprehension skills. Did people read the OP's premise?

When Thor and Superman are involved people's tempers tend to flare up.

i did. it is something like what do each character using what powerset is required to beat the other... basically how can either one win using their comic feats as a measuring shtick..

not who will get the majority and argue who will win but how can they win.

Not sure if pr is warning carver or not seriously...

His post doesn't look different to me than half the other posters on this forum?
You have a marvelite arguing his position against a dcist.

In this case the dcist is a mod...
Comes off as an opinion to me...

In any case I think the thread has shown that most people think both Thor and superman are top tiers...
And in a slugfest without superspeed where Thor applies his full powerset it goes to Thor

both I base upon average showings where each doesn't necessarily go all out in most showings.

Upon average showings I give it to Thor
at best showings I giv it to superman as the speed and sundip would trump the godblast IMO... I don't include wm Thor as a best showing as he can't turn it on at will whereas superman can sundip at will..

Hehe. I just realized if you take captain Americas poster american boy attitude and Thor powerset (something I always imagine) u get superman...kinda hehe

it's nothing like that at all.

carver has been doing for years now the exact same thing that got people like the Great Galen, Nvr and James2099 banned.

and i love how people claim i'm a DCist, when nothing could be further from the truth.

After Martian Manhunter Superman is arguably the most versatile core member of the JLA. He's got strength, speed, heat vision, limited phasing, freeze breath, non-freezing super-breath, x-ray vision, microscopic vision, and super-hearing.

yeah i dont know why peeps keep thnking he's a flying brick. he has a varied powerset.

I'd say they're about even. Considering how often the GL ring gets called a weapon that turns thought into reality it really has a lot of limitations, chiefly among those being the lack of imagnination the wielders seem to possess.

If Diana's tiara can slash Supes.
And logically Thor's hammer would do increased blunt force trauma damage.
Then what would happen if Beta Ray Bill's sharp point of his hammer clogged Supes in the skull?

Diana's tiara can cut pretty much anything. I'm not saying BRB or Thor couldn't do serious damage to Superman but he could take a shot and still live, maybe even be conscious, especially in BRB's case.

Well considering Vampires can pierce and overwhelm him.
Shouldn't the sharp point of BRB's hammer go straight into his head?

vampires havent been able to do that in years, so the point is moot.

Hey Pr what upgrade did Supes get that increased his vulnerability to magic? Sundipping?

no. all his powers have gradually grown over the years, including his resistance to magic. he can take blasts from shazam for a limited time, he can make dracula explode, but some random vampire can take him? bit hard to believe, tbh.

Those 2 occasions were in 1992. They roughed him up pretty bad. Had to be saved by Batman in one of them. So I agree ancient history. Thanx

Can`t Thor make vampires go boom with Mjolnir too? Remember something of the kind..

That is so funny .... I can't fathom why they care for these characters so much ? Its this kind of lameness, that prevents real comic book fans from being taken seriously. The majority of the status quo see comic literature as a Joke, and its warraneted when judging the rest of these absurd DERANGED reactions. So lame

Thor lost to Superman ... So FCUKINg what ?? Its not justification to start some kind crazzy jihad, against writers. I wish these people would calm down, cosnider for a moment why they enjoy stories in the first place, and then hopefully wake up to the fact they are living pathetic and tradegic lives.

God, I wonder if Hommer got as much violatile criticsim when Acillies beat Hector ???
