Absolutely not.
This has been tepidly brought up before without considering the actual requirements. It does not help him.
Why? Because Thor has to initiate those AOE attacks, barring that, those AOE attacks still have to be fast enough in the first place to not be outrun.
I'll just assume the latter requirement is fulfilled, but Thor still has to activate said attacks, which to Superman will be taking a long time to happen. Again, the speed difference is that large.
Superman thinks and moves his body in less than femtoseconds. Thor is at best in the microsecond range by feats.

Thor only uses AOE attacks when faced against multiple enemies (usually surrounding him). Is there a time he used one against a single humanoid sized opponent?
Thor usually draws straight line beam energy into the hammer by blocking it first.
