Who shows more restraint

Who restraints himself more against opponents, Superman or Thor? Give reasons, scans considering their mindsets and opponents when giving your opinions

Paks Hulk, he was a multiverse buster if he had gone all out.

PR probably shows the most restraint.

This.

On a more serious note though, Superman shows more restraint than thor.

Can you really "Restrain" yourself when you main attack is hitting people with a hammer?

Superman has massive amounts of super speed and almost never uses it to his advantage. But then you have to wonder is that due to the character or due to writing.

It's one in the same. Writers can't create stories first someone who is in constant super speed mode, so they've made it his personality not to use it the vast majority of the time, which if course would be stupid in a real world sense.

Both I say. If you pucnh a villain in the face at lightspeed, then nobody is left to rescue around

I understand this, but you see some people acting like Superman has a legit hang up about super speed and using it, as if he thinks the speed force killed Krypton or something.

I'd say it has to be more the writers then his own character. Yeah, he doesn't like to hurt people and he sometimes might hold back or take hits to see how powerful someone is. But..there are still plenty of instances where it would make sense for him to use it. He doesn't have to kill people in order to disable them at super speed, and he doesn't even need to use more then 1/10th of his speed against most people to blitz them.

You have to figure a guy who is all about not killing would be keen on ending situations as quickly as possible. I have no problem with comics doing this because it needs to be done to have stories. But in a debate..well, in a comic anyone can beat anyone, just depends on the writer and situation. It's not so easy to debate.

How is this a thread? Superman shows more restraint because he doesn't kill. Thor has killed and attempted to kill many beings. I'd you piss Thor off he will try to kill you. Superman will only kill if he has no choice (Doomsday or zod).
Also Superman has mental blocks from childhood.

Well ones a barbarian viking warrior who stays drunk and ****s a different wench every week and quite often kills his opponemt with a giant hammer for the sake of battle. The other is a virgin named clark kent.

So Thor shows more restraint.

Agreed. Superman probably holds back more than any other character in all of comics.

Pffft...thor has noted that he always holds back when on the planet...all heroes hold back,as they don't want to kill. Killing when he has no choice and going all out when the opponent's power demands it....
