Thor vs Superman-HTH

Pre Flashpoint Superman vs Thor in Hand to Hand combat. No other abilities will be used. (No flying, no super speed, no lightning, no Durok droppers, etc...) Just their strength and skill. Who takes it?

VS

I was going to make this..you beat me to it. I'm giving this to Thor.

Superman

Superman.

Thor is his superior in fighting and experience, Thor is more skilled!! It would be a fight though, Thor should win the majority

So speed equalized and and no exotic powers or flight.

Hmm...

Thor has more experience, but I reckon Superman is still stronger. And his skill is nothing to snuff at.

whatever. 50/50.

Thor has more skill, while Superman has better durability and strength. I'd give the slight advantage to Superman, but on any given day Thor could take it.

Thor have the hammer ? If yes he win, if not he lose.

When both characters have thousands of years of experience I can't see experience mattering too much.

This is true, but I just wanted to say something in Thor's favor.

Thor has significantly more than a thousand years of experience fighting, though.

Thor FTW! If Man-Beast who's hand to hand is an evolved Martial Arts by a million years got his ass handed by Thor, so I think Thor can beat Superman 6/10.

it doesn't matter though.

it doesn't take thousands of years to know all there is to know about fighting or a particular style.

Yeah but I'm saying once you get into the thousands I can't actually see more experience mattering much. There's only soo much experience that actually aids you before you've pretty much gotten ll you can get from something. Can't see someone having a few thousand more then someone who has over a thousand as well, being as a big of a factor as someone who has like 20-30 years experience vs someone who has a thousand. While yes the gap is numerically bigger, I just honestly can't see much actually adding anything of value after a certain point. Pretty much it comes about skill imo. Now if its enough to win depends on the characters, but I'm speaking in general.

Who cares about some more thousands years?

He's watched the birth and death of stars in the universe.

Way more than thousands of years old.

How often is Superman's fight in Asgard referenced?

Do you think sticking to the same style of fighting for a million years will really have a noticeable more effect than a thousand? That's more then enough time to know all your going to know outside of someone teaching you something completely foreign to you.

This isn't really a comment about how much of an effect superman's asgard feasts have on him. But a question on where you see someone like Thor's experience mattering against anyone that is also uber long lived. IMO experiance only matters up to a certain point

And I really don't see how or why Superman fighting in DC Asgard is supposed to make his experience at fighting equal to that of Thor.

If people want to make the case that Superman fighting in DC Asgard is = to the time Thor spent training and fighting in Marvel's Asgard...well, that's just silly.
