IS Speed The ONLY Reason Superman Beats thor?

on here and a lot of other fiction vs sites the general consensus seems to be that superman beats thor...............but only because of the massive speed advantage, without speed would superman still take a majority?

also if thor had supes/flash like speed would he beat superman for a majority?

Superman is also stronger and more durable. He also has better damage soak overall because he has a very noticeable healing factor. He's also a lot smarter and uses versatility more than Thor.

Speed equalized though, Thor has the magic trump card that evens the field. And a few exotic options he might be able to pull out.

Without the speed advantage, its 50/50 for me.

Superman is still physically stronger. Keep in mind he didn't use his speed to beat Thor in JLA/Avengers

It's the exotic powers Thor has in his arsenal which are dangerous, but he rarely uses them

wait a minute. Strength, and durability, I could agree with (though durability is more debatable), but better damage soak? When has his damage soak ever been as good as Thor's?

Superman has an overt, combat applicable healing factor. He's taken giant magical arrows to vital parts and has survived them.

Thor's healing is a lot less potent, though obviously he has something there.

Thor would win easily. He has greater skill and his versatility would now be effective. Without speed then Thor would not have time to be versatile. The skill advantage would be the one that gives Thor the edge.

Because the fight would usually revert to a brawl, no, speed isn't the only reason. Strength edge is with Kal. Durability is less certain, but is fairly close.

Thor's advantages are largely in the realms of energy and magic, where Mjolnir gives him a trump card. While it makes him better in, say, many of the tournaments that we run, it doesn't help him much in this particular fight.

Its a toss up. They are more or less equals and even with speed factored in it could go either way on any given day. Anyone who says otherwise is a biased fanboy.

They are equals in terms of the type of threats they can stop. They are not equals when fighting each other. The speed advantage is the most hax advantage. It's EXACTLY like fighting someone who is almost frozen. Think about it? Without the speed advantage Thor has the edge. His skill, defense with Mjolnir, weakness magic having, and versatility outweighs Superman's strength and durability advantage.

In a comic, they writer most likely will have them fighting at the same speed, just like Superman would fight Hulk or ANYONE of popularity. But this is not what will happen in a forum fight. Superman will have speed ability and perception.

Thats about right, with the caveat that the smarter Superman, IF there is one, isnt the DCnu version.

What ever the hell you're smoking you need to give up, it's seriously damaging your thought process.

No way in hell does Superman have greater damage soak than Thor. Thor took Silver Surfers best blasts whilst he had a hole in his chest from the f***ing world tree.

Lets get real.

In strength yes Superman had a slight edge. In piercing durability also (I would not say he has one in blunt force though).

Speed and the fact that in character Thor fighrs with honor and as such doesnt tend to go for the abilities of Mjilnor off the bat are what gives the fight to superman.

If IMHO Thor was bloodlusted and went straight to Miljnors nore isoteric abilities Supes speed would be meaningless.
