Superman heat vision vs Thor lightning

All that is saying is that he used heat to speed up the rate of rxn.

Am I missing something?

I think you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who 100% knows what the hell is going on in that scan. It almost seems like even the characters aren't really sure and so they are just throwing out any type of jargon that sounds scientific. I'm surprised there was no mention of reversing the polarity of something.

The look on Robins face as he says "of course" says it all. In reality he is saying "I don't know what the f*ck you are talking about, but I'm going to just agree with you".

Yes.

Superman's Heat Vision is as cold as a black hole.

What hv feats can change my opinion?

Pretty even IMO.

I have no idea whose is better, but I will note that for all the people saying Thor wins didn't actually provide any feats for Thor and his lightning.

As for Supes, depends on the version. PC Supes could seal holes in the very fabric of creation with his HV. So that version..his HV is superior to Thor's lightning by an utterly massive degree. Of course PC Supes is all around massively superior to Thor so that isn't much of a surprise.

We also have post crisis Supermans heat vision at one point hurting someone whom Supergirl flat out failed to hurt with heat vision. This was actually another example of him dropping his mental blocks. Since Supes had the first encounter with the guy(Blackrock I think), his HV did not work. Supergirl tries, her HV fails. Then Supes gets pissed and his HV works.

I'll give a shout out to the HV of Superman from the Justice League Cartoon. The incarnation is nowhere near as powerful as his comic versions, but it was still bad ass to see him using HV potent enough to go right through Darkseid..and HV potent enough to lobotomize Doomsday, who was a lot more durable then Supes.

He has also used it to power planet moving engines of Krypton under a red sun. Mind you Krypton was Jupiter sized planet.

Still Thor.

Also Superman's hv (when not holding back) is capable of going through Kryptonians like a ghost. But under normal situations I would say slight edge to Thor.
