Thor has different swing attacks with Mjolnir.
He has the whirling (building up speed) downward 2-handed slam.
He has the normal downward 2-handed slam.
He has the normal 1-handed swing.
Taking both characters at their best then
Thor's whirling slam>Superman's punch>Thor's normal slam>Thor's normal 1-handed swing>Thor's punch.
But thread is over, everyone agrees that Superman's punch>Thor's punch

This scenario is hard to gauge, it's one thing to take punches while you can move around and roll, less en the impact.It's another to shit there and take a well-measured punch of that magnitude of power.
This. Its not an easy thing to hit someone square in the jaw with max power and perfect timing when you are both bouncing around in a fight and they are swingin back at you. Many comic book fights are written as two tough guys just standing there trading punches but if you want to interpret things "realistically" a lot of shots that we see land are going to be closer to glancing blows than anything else. A one hit KO is not unreasonable. But like anything else its going to vary from story to story.
Thor w/ Hammer > Superman Punch > Thor Punch
Kind of going between the above and this:
Thor w/ Hammer = Superman Punch > Thor Punch
myself. Theres probably not a lot in it either way.

Here's the setup:Thor is chained by unbreakable bounds. How many punches does Superman need to deliver to KO him? (Superman is not holding back, and is willing to kill him).
Superman takes Thors head off.
Next, same situation but reverse the places of the heroes.
If Superman gets to put his hands on his hips, he tanks it. 😉
Third scenario is same as the second, except now Thor uses his hammer (for hitting only, no lightning).
Thor takes Supermans head off.
Who KO's the other one faster, and how many punches do you think it will take?
Tie, when Thor has his hammer.
This is kind of an infinite debate but...
I can picture two supermen punches colliding with each other while going all out and send ripples though dimensions
But some how is really hard to picture EACH Thor hammer strike shattering time and space even if he is put under the same condition in IC.
I'm sure some Thor fans will see this in a different way, but I don't see how.
I can picture Hulk potentially doing it, Thor? hardly, with his fist? nah!
Note here: Should point out that is Mjolnir is mystically charged then I believe he should.

Two Mjlonir strikes has sent shockwaves equal to the big bang before. That's better than anything Superman has done with a hit.

Are you talking about the Mjolnir's colliding?
I guess the big bang can only shatter windows?
Is an impressive feat don't get me wrong, but the big bang statement thing seems iffy
Originally posted by biensalsahulk and thor have effected a wide area with their respective physical blows colliding with something, and just like the New Earth superman example they all have context.

But the Superman example didnt even do any damage to.the ground beneath them and time was being screwed with anyways by Lex during the time both Supermen were fighting. So your ft seems iffy as well.

Actually there are examples in which Jimmy Olsen, Lois Lane, the Hall of Justice, Manhunter were affected as a side effect of the fight. on EARTH 1 fight took place on earth 2
Just read the whole IC arc with it's respective tie ins and you will find the evidence there.
Oh and this was BEFORE the hands started to fuse planets

Thats fair enough as we all see these characters differently but i can't picture that myself. Superman is very, very strong to my mind but not that strong. Then again it depends on how realistic or otherwise the story is. In a lot of stories the physics can be a lot more accommodating (and i'm not saying thats necessarily a bad thing either).
