in terms of pure, personal power, not sure how anyone could reliably argue against superman being the more powerful. check any thread in any forum where it's thor w/o hammer v superman. hammerless thor has a few good feats, but it would take far more than a few good feats. add the hammer though (the classic hammer) and things become a LOT less clear imo.
I think this is classic Thor with his hammer and Superman. At least, it usually is.
Otherwise Superman is clearly more powerful and versatile. Thor with his Thunder God powers makes it far more competitive, but it wouldn't be a really honest conversation if we just limit Thor to strength and durability, while Superman has all his powers. Even Thor without his hammer, isn't an accurate description of the regular status quo.
