Thor's strength, durability, and destructibility feats in EMH (minus low showings like Cap hurting him with a punch) were FAR better than JLU Superman's by several orders of magnitudes--even if you allow other showings from the Superman TAS, World's Finest Team up, Batman Beyond etc. DCAU Superman was simply not that great.
That being said, JLU Superman still has speed on his side, and we've yet to see how Thor deals with super speed.
Undecided, but leaning towards Thor bringing down a city block leveling lightning blast (as he did to Graviton) down on himself and Superman for the KO win.
Seriously, even against BraniacSeid, Superman didn't really do anything out of the ordinary.

Thor is far more impressive in Earth's Mightiest Heroes if you ask me. He is kind of dumb though...but it is usually him who lays the finishing blow to their opponents.
Superman's only hope is his superior movement speed imo. It's also his only advantage. Thor's noticeably more powerful, more versatile, and at the very least as strong and as tough. He has feats far above anything I've seen Clark do in the animated Universe. I'm giving Clark the benefit of the doubt here.
Thor's ability to produce various omnidirectional attacks and summon continuous barrages of lightning while occupied will put a real hamper on Clark if he tries to rely on speed purely.
Thor does suffer from being the worf at times but Clark has more than his fair share of low showings.
With the crew who made Hulk vs. in charge, I'm surprised Thor has as many decent showings as he does. It's probably due to the rotating writing staff.

Agreed. Thor is closer to his comic book counterpart than Clark. I mean at least he shows his versatility a lot more like when the episode needs to end so he stops slugging it out with MJOLNIR and brings the heavy firepower.
I am happy with Thor's showings. There are of course those stupid moments like what happened with Cap but hey it is fricking Captain America and his jobber aura reigns supreme no matter the media--plus Batman has done shit like that to Clark as well...I kind of hate how Cap and Bat make everyone look bad. I actually like the fact they sort of imply Thor is the Avenger's power weapon even when Hulk is hanging out with them.
The one thing I dislike is that sometimes Thor's treated with less respect than the Hulk. I blame it on Yost personally. You can literally tell that his writing an episode without checking the credits.
He spent the majority of the final two episodes on his knees being whipped around by Loki and he didn't defeat him on his own when he made the comeback. True he did outperform all the other Avengers but Odin Force or not, Thor should have f*cking destroyed him.
Sometimes I swear Thor's power is directly proportional to his distance from the Avengers.
In the earlier episodes his durability was pretty damn good. Then came the episodes came where I knew stuff that should never ko him would. The thing I hated was when he took that nega bomb into space, and just when you think he tanked a nega bomb explosion, there's the hulk making sure there was no confusion by telling us that ko'ed him too. They couldn't just throw him the bone on that one? Ugh...

His durability is plot based, but the highest feat I've seen from him thus far, and correct me if I'm not up to date (haven't seen the most recent episodes), is when he took on a point blank city busting blast from Kang's ship, and all it did was KO him.
I don't understand how the blast wave of a planetary level explosion temporarily knocking him out is a low showing. Superman's highest durabiltiy feat is being knock
