Can Superman Replicate Thor's glacier shattering feat?

*Clark has to do it with a single strike
*Clark is standard morals
*Same circumstances Thor faced

Does he replicate the feat, or have any striking feat comparable?

I don't see why not. His strength feats are vastly superior.

Probably not.

Not with a single short hit like that. Superman can easily punch a hole through the ground (probably easier than Thor can) and he can cut swaths of ice with his heat vision but he doesn't have an AOE-type attack that can mimic Thor's lightning slam.

If he slams into the ground at Flash-level speed with his strength he can do a lot more damage. Simple physics.

No, if he does that at Flash-like speed then chances are he'll just blast a hole clean through the ice.

He accidentally flew through a mountain, so depending on how high he's allowed to go, I think he can

Did him flying through the mountain cause a massive shockwave, reaching hundreds if not thousands of yards, like Thor's lightning amped strike?

Well keep in mind Thor wasn't just striking with his own strength, he had a magic hammer too. So how can we say anything he does with that hammer is all him? I mean it usually doesn't matter cuz he's always gonna have his hammer, but if the intent of the thread is to compare the physical strength of both...Superman doesn't have the added advantage of a magic hammer.

But either way yeah probably Superman can.

Let me put it another way: if they arm wrestled Superman wins.

I don't believe the intent of the thread is to compare the physical strength of both. It's simply asking if Superman can replicate the feat with a single hit.

If that is the case why not give him the hammer too?

Why give him a hammer he most likely can't use?

until supes has those feats the answer will always be hell no.. amd since the dceu is dead then we will never ever know

You could easily stipulate for the match he can use it.

And I think if he did use it he'd cause even more damage than Thor did, agreed?

well no, Superman can't replicate that feat really... cuz he doesn't have a weapon... that's like shitting on a regular human for not being able to do to concrete what a sledgehammer in another guys hands can

I actually agree, there is no real triumph if Thor can do this with a magic plot device from daddy and Superman can't.

The damage output of Thor was more due to his lightning than the hammer. And his lightning comes from him. Hating on Thor for using his lightning is like hating on Superman for using his heat vision or flight.

Because that wasn't the point of the thread.

I'm not hating on thor for using his lightning. I will point out that further contributes to my "this wasn't pure physical strength" claim. He needs a magic hammer and his own lightning.

I don't believe anyone here claimed it was a pure physical strength feat. You're the only one who's mentioned that so far.

Still, Thor's lightning is part of him and his powerset. Mjolnir is considered standard gear for him. The question remains: Can Superman replicate the feat?
