Just stop ABHI. You find one showing and try to use it to downplay a character.

I would start.

Superman while nearly depowered by starbreaker survives in the molten core of Almerac surviving the gravity of an entire planet

Pretty sure at this point, every notable Thor and Superman feat have been brought up time and time again in various threads under various scenarios with various degrees of scrutiny on both sides. Why or how this thread is any different than the countless other threads which have been made is beyond me.

Previously no one has utilized all the resources like they should have if Thor is even close to Superman. The Hulk or the Juggernaut would be more fairly comparable. Superman's longevity and healing factor is charged by the sun similarly to Thor's by Mjlnor, and Juggernaut's by the Cyttorak, and Hulk's gamma charged DnA, etc...I'd place Superman durability on par with Juggernaut's actually...slightly above Hulk. Feat wise. He's certainly capable of it in both of their strongest depictions. Thor doesn't really come close. Jugg's durablity>=Supes'.

Though, I've never seen Juggs or Hulk survive supernovae or even terranova, if we explode mid and low ends it's Superman>Hyperion>WWH>Juggs>>>Thor.

No, it hasn't. Answer the question jake. I don't know why you're hesitating. Thor has over 50 years of scans to chose from after all.

Yes, they have. Thor/Superman debates have been going strong ever since I first joined the forum and I've seen plenty of scan blitz wars.

And no, Superman's durability isn't close to Juggernaut's.

abhilegend
Well, I did a quick search and look what I found out.

-Damage Soak: Thor

I've already said my piece in this argument years ago. I'll contribute to offer insight and opinion and correct misconstrued facts/lowballing, but as far as doing a scan war, not really my thing due to:

A.) Already have done it
B.) Too lazy to scan my comics

I don't know why people act like this debate is something new or that anyone is going to add anything to the table that hasn't already been discussed.

Well, except - everything I've got has been from the respect thread - Thor's just doesn't have the feats necessary.

Juggs' respect thread isn't rival in high ends either.

I mean, if you believe I'm in error than you just go ahead and pull scans from the Thor respect thread, and the Juggs if you want to go the extra mile.

You'll find they just don't compare, and it's not hard to go a thread over. Quit trying to make us out to be cheap skates, bringing it back to be sneaky or whatever, when you can just bring back what you need just as easily.

A lot of that could be contributed to the Mjlnor.

Don't forget Superman has absorbed half of existence busting via Mageddon Warhead.

You very well could just be claiming this argument was resolved out of your arse. I wasn't here 'a few years ago', so why are you pretending likes dems common knowledge?

Why don't you just start spamming Thor feats and see if any of them come close to just one I've put up here. Just one.

Don't use one where he tanks a blast, because I doubt any of those matches the Mageddon WH.

What? I'm not talking about him blocking or absorbing attacks.

Okay.

I never said it was "resolved" because really, something like this never will be as minds have been and likely will stay made up on both sides. I'm just saying that as far as I go personally, I've already been through this and have no real intention of going through a long tired debate where we go in circles and where I have to start linking from the respect thread/posting scans/citing issue numbers. Thor/Superman is and has been one of the longest running debates on KMC and its why multiple variations of the fight wind up getting closed because they really offer nothing new to the table.

And yes, it is common knowledge as KMC has both a search function and a Vs. Thread Directory. Whether or not you or any one else does the proper research as to what's been discussed on the site is your own prerogative.

-Pr-
Really not interested in leaving bait threads open.

Closing soon, so get those last posts in.

Damn, if I did I'd post it.

One of the members most likely could get a hold of it. I'm pretty sure it's from the same issue as the one where he absorbs it, that scan is actually in the respect thread;

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y112/avalonofthewind/supermanandmegaddonwarhead.jpg

But as for the statement itself, I don't have any scans pre-52 reboot, sorry. :/

ALTHOUGH, that scan does happen to state that the blast would reach another star system in some time frame.

How do you know Thor wasn't absorbing from the Mjlnor to recover from these attacks you mention??

That is where his Asgardian energy comes from, it's not like we know for a fact that he'd be able to just up and tank it like Superman or Hyperion would tank two planets colliding, or how Juggernaut or Superman would tank an adamantium cutting/matter nullifying beam, without the Mjlnr.

He could have been absorbing Asgardian energies to supplement his durability, like Superman absorbed the Mageddon's energies to supplement his durablity. He would have done no such things when being hit by Bizarro or being the filling for colliding planets.

Mjolnir doesn't passively protect Thor at all.

And no, his Asgardian energy comes from within. Mjolnir is a focusing tool. And that scan with the adamantium cutting beam is from a crossover.

None-the-less, he couldn't have been absorbing anything when resisting being taken apart by a miniature black hole, being in the middle of a planetary collision, et cetra. It wouldn't be passive, he's actively using it, not as a shield, but to supplement his durability.

Yes, without the hammer, how do you know he'd focus it. Where are these feats where Thor just up and tanks a planet busting blast without his hammer, as Superman did on two occasions, one being an entire solar system buster, ergo Supernova. ?

What are you talking about?

Mjolnir, repeatedly, has been stated to be a focusing lens for Thor's inate godly power, specifically when it comes to weather control. It also gives other powers. But no, Mjolnir doesn't passively increase Thor's resistance to damage at all nor does merely holding it and not using it for defensive purposes autoprotect him.

His feats against skyfathers, elder gods, and abstracts are more than enough evidence to suggest that his damage soak are among top tier.

How do you know he wasn't practically dead before using the Mjlnr as a tool to recover? It's regenerated his limbs on occasion, even.

How does him actively using to heal himself constitute as the hammer giving him a passive bonus?

If anything it would be opposite.

Give a specific example of Mjolnir helping Thor recover/heal or regenerate limbs.

This is like being a hard core fan of a team with the nemesis of your favorite team.

You can show by every possible stat, chart, score or ANYTHING and We will always think, that no matter what, our team is the best. We could concede that one team has better players, maybe better coach, but RARELY We will admit that our team cannot defeat the other team. Deep down We know, but We just don't accept it.

And that goes for any side, Superman, Hulk, Thor, Thanos, Silver Surfer, Captain Marvel, Wonder Woman and so on.
