Thor and Superman Vs time travel

Can classic male unamped Thor or DCnu Superman time travel under their own power? Their own power in Thor's case would include his hammer, in either a magical or speed sense.
If DCnu Superman cant, could pre New52 Superman do it?

DCNU Superman mentioned once that he was going to flu so fast around Earth that he would go back in time. It never happened though. Martian Manhunter believed that he could do it.

Superman gets time travel abilities when he gets a flu? All I get is a fever and aches.

Lol...it was mentioned. I wouldn't consider it fact though since we never saw him do it. I would post the scene but I don't feel like digging through pages of comics to find it.

Is he not a believer in flu shots?

He is, but the needles break every time he tries to get one. Damn invulnerability!!!

Classic old school Thor has done it a few times, but, iirc, something later happened to mjolnir to block that power

Immortus drained mjolnir chronal powers in Thor 282.

Thor drained Mjolnir's "time energies"
when he moved a planet out of a timeless realm (Limbo) into the proper universe of space-time. (616)

Thor v1 #282

That feat, cost Mjolnir the ability to open portals/rifts/vortexes to other eras/time periods.

Neither current nor post crisis Superman could time travel under their own power. Post crisis Superman was featured in a variety of stories involving time travel shenanigans, so if he could time travel under his own power I'm sure it would of actually come into play during these stories. Or we'd at least get a throwaway line like "Normally I'd be able to travel through time on my own but I can't because (insert excuse)".

Thanks, Surtur (and the rest). Just wondered about this.
