Big Superman fan here but Thor's durability is insane.
Dude has tanked blasts from high end beings like The Celestials (doesn't really get much higher than that) and survived that Cobalt bomb thing (if its still in continuity). Even that blast in Siege didn't KO him, he was still saying something "you dare" before the Iron Patriot laid the smack down on him.
When we are talking of low end feats, Thor has them plenty but his high end durability feats are on par with Superman.

Superman's durability is proven and well-known, Thor's are relatively less so. It's no surprise if people want verification on that IMO (respect thread always a good start though).

No, he doesn't. You can post nuke tanking that doesn't impress me. Celestials, Odin, Galactus--this is impressive,All weapons outside normal tech usually falls under the plot device type of argument.
And Superman has Blaze, Shazam, Rift, Gog, Starbreaker, Imperiex Prime and more. Like I said, longer and more impressive list.

Ignorance of feats or knowledge of a character is not really an excuse when a respect thread is readily available.
Or, one has gotten to a point where they feel respect threads aren't reliable. Since people have tended to embellish, leave-out context or misinterpret what happened.

Actually, a cobalt bomb is just a hypothetical modified nuclear bomb. It being a "Doomsday Weapon" has to do with it basically poisoning the atmosphere, and it's only theoretical, not proven. Others dispute it'd work due to variables.

What feats are you taking about and what people?
Or do you mean in the general sense?
Even so, passing knowledge of Thor should tell you that they're comparable. That's just common sense. Or it should be.
Originally posted by JakeTheBankthat's rubbish. common sense tells me that superman's durability is clearly better than thor's...esp in regards to piercing durability, thor gets cut and pierced far far easier than superman. superman's ability to take blunt force also surpasses thor by a margin in my estimation.

And then you compare energy projection durability, stamina and endurance, blunt force trauma, and the likes of opponents they've faced and endured and realize that you're full of crap per usual.
Piercing durability doesn't really mean jack shit in a fight between Thor or Superman unless Superman goes OOC and tries to shiv Thor with something like Promethium.

that is something i've never seen thor do.
stamina and endurance....now you're just changing the subject.

Hulk. Hercules.
Well, now that I've obliterated your argument, now what?
Originally posted by Delta1938You used Blaze like that's impressive. 4th host of the Celestials are more impressive than anyone on your list. What instance are you referring to when Imperiex Prime hit Superman.
So adding one more name somehow makes it "far more impressive?"😕 No. Why would you ask?

Originally posted by JakeTheBankmy whole point was that it wasn't common sense that they're comparable...that a cursory view would show superman to be more durable as he usually seems to be depicted more with the invincibility aura than thor is.
Hulk. Hercules.Well, now that I've obliterated your argument, now what?
and you're telling me thor just stood there and took a full punch from hulk or herc without moving?

So, your argument is that it's not common sense that they're comparable unless you actually look for the evidence on Thor's side...but even when you do, they're still not comparable? Or is your point something else?
I'm telling you Superman wouldn't take a full punch from Hulk or Hercules without moving. You stated "hold their ground". Thor can and has held his ground with Class 100s and above.
Originally posted by JakeTheBankI believe they aren't comparable even when you dig deeper, but that someone who only has cursory knowledge would likely think superman is more durable.

and I meant superman can literally not move and take a full punch from hulk if he braces himself, which I do not imagine thor can do.

Well, they are comparable with Superman being more "invincible" than Thor, but Thor's damage soak and ability to keep ticking evening things up. And then you look at the cosmic beings and such they've battled and you realize that the idea that Superman being so much more durable than Thor isn't true.
Depends on the Hulk (and Superman in question, I guess). If you think that pre-Flashpoint/New Earth Superman can replicate what Pre-Crisis Superman did against Hulk, you'd be sadly mistaken.
