this has been done before I think...
Thor wins, I'd wager , Supes was constantly injured by magic and electricity in the series he appeared in, Thor carries those things in spades.
People are going to argue the "Superman cuts loose" factor from "Destroyer" but thats BS, Bruce Timm was just doing a service for all the fans that complained about Superman being to weak. He was never consistently that strong

I think that's fair. I very much enjoyed the DCAU shows, I like them enough that I like to pretend they exist in their own 'alternate earth' that somehow got 'missed' in the Crisis that consolidated them all. That said I think Superman was clearly portrayed as weaker than his comic counterpart. Mainly because it made it easier for them to write credible conflicts from week to week.

The previous thread done before was not this way
The old thread was not the same
It was 'jobber Thor' from HulkvsThor


Depends...
EMH Thor: Thor wins
"Hulk vs Thor" Thor: Supes wins
Assuming this is Earth's Mightiest Heroes Thor vs JLA/JLU Superman, I'm giving it to Superman after a very good fight.
Animated Superman is weaker and slower, he needs a mask to breath in space

Earth's Mightiest Heroes Thor got this, he's very fast and in the opening few episodes he showed the ability to lift a chunk of Manhattan, soak a City Buster from Kang's ship, went Godblasting a City Buster in his fight with Graviton, soak damage from Odinforce Loki and can BFR people to other realms
JL Superman would beat any other toon version of Thor
but EMH Thor, even holding back is still a beast

@Shawnbaby: what ever helps u sleep at night
Superman fighting at his very best may be too fast for Thor. He was doing pretty well against Amazo when the android had the Flash's speed. However, he doesn't always use his speed properly and his powers fluctuated too much throughout the show's run to make an accurate judgement. If Superman uses his speed in this fight, he can beat Thor. If he forgets that he has superspeed like he sometimes does, Thor wins.
@Shawnbaby: when u admit your marvel bias i will

Some things wrong with this post.
1) Thor needed a breathing apparatus, too.

2) He didn't lift a chuck of Manhattan. When the city was no longer supported by gravity, Thor used his strength to slow its descent (although it didn't appear to fall any slower). Barely a showing of strength there, and even then, there's nothing impressive about it.
@jameshebrew: Leave him alone.
Finally, someone clears it up! thank you Static Shock, thank you.2) He didn't lift a chuck of Manhattan.

It doesn't matter
Everyone of these characters are no names, weaker cardboard cutouts of DC names. They are not the real DC comics characters but jobbers compared to the real DC comic characters
Thor is ridiculously fast in EMH, he's not getting blitzed PERIOD
Darkseid jobbers in the toon and 99% of the time Grundy is a total joke
It took a CityBusting Blast to knock Thor out for a count, nobody in the JL toon showed City Busting power
Even Antman lifted an oil Tanker and by doing so showed more strength than toon Superman
toon Superman's strength is close to comic book Thing/Namor/Powerman
CapMarvel (Billy) is a joke in the toon, yes he's a superpowered hero but really he's really naive simple kid, his bolts are pathetic compared to Thor's range of attacks
Thor can do storms, magic, BFR and launch a CityBusting Attack from Mjölnir .
Superman might have soaked some punches from Billy and a few piddles of weak electricity from Adam
but he's not taking a blast from Thor's hammer
The hammer would kill Superman

It's armor from Stark, not a breathing apparatus Staic
Watch the toon again
Cap, Wasp, Hawkeye etc all had a blueish glass visor in front of their face so they would breath in space
Thor wore the armor but he never wore a space helmet so he could breathe in space
Are you serious?? Captain Marvel and Darkseid, Cap Atom are ALL established and powerful characters, and you know it. Thor is fast, Superman is faster@The Stegman said:

Maybe you should watch the episode. He clearly has a helmet on his head. At the same time, Thor was put in a coma by that city-busting attack (so much for his durability), so he was out of commission for rest of the episode. He never went into outer space with the rest of the team, so how can you be certain that can breathe (or doesn't need to breathe) in space if you've never seen him do it?
@Static Shock said:

Have you never watched the Justice League cartoon?? Superman has been put in a coma by rayguns, magic spells and punches from people on the strength levels of Powerman/Aquaman/Thing.
So much for his durability

Thor was also KO'ed by Graviton for a little while. What's your point? Both characters obviously have varying levels of durability. Even Captain America (when the team first found him) put subtle amounts of physical damage on Thor with his martial arts skills. Would you like for me to go on?
I'm not sure how you can compare Luke Cage to Aquaman (who's Class 100+ when wet) and Thing (who's obviously Class 100+, too).

Cap Atom was a trained military soldier
While Captain Atom was powerful, his training in the military doesn't amount to much. He had no display of skill, and Superman was able to fight him, regardless of the experience and/or skill gap between the both of them.

If you're referring to the city buster blast that Kang hit him with, yeah, it knocked Thor out for like a few days, Superman was hit by a similar blast from the Watchtower, also a city buster and recovered in minutes.
Superman didn't take a citybuster,
if i remember the ep you're talking about then Luthor had the watchtower hacked
In launched its fusion beams down on the Kadamuz Laboratory/Warehouses << spelling!??!, this Lab/Village was on the outskirts of Metropolis, it was not a beam aimed to destroy the City of Metropolis
a big Mushroomcloud/Fireball was seen from the city
Luthor then used the incident to do his usual PR thing and say the JL are bad and hundreds of people would have been killed if the beam hit the city
It was not a Citybuster attack, yes it was a damn big blast and Lex used it as a publicity stunt
Thor took a real CityBuster and was Ko'ed
Superman took a raygun and was Ko'ed, took a magic spell and was Ko'ed, a puch from someone on TheThings level and was in a coma
Thor has shown much greater striking power feats and blast power feats in EHM
A lot of time fanboy bias comes into these forums and I agree Superman in the comic has a great chance to blitz comicbook Thor and take Thor out with strikes
but these are the toon versions
and the best way to compare them is feats
EMH Thor has better power and durability feats
If Thor decides to BFR Superman to Asgard or the Frost giant planet then the fight is over
and there is nothing you whiny superrman fanboys can do about it

You're talking about those characters being weaker than their comic book versions as if Thor isn't in the same boat (and if he wasn't, he would have actually lifted that chuck of Manhattan, which was what you falsely claimed earlier).
The characters that Superman fought in the animated shows were some of the most powerful in that continuity. The fact that they are weaker than their comic book versions is irrelevant.
@venomoushatred1001 said:

Still an irrelevant point, regardless. The fight isn't out there. I said this, earlier.
So what if they're weaker? like you said, this is a battle of animated characters, thus we use their animated feats, and in the JLU they are still very powerful opponents and Superman beat them despite being handicapped for some, i.e, Marvel's magic and Atom's red sun rays. Thor gets regularly tossed around by giant blob monsters, creatures like Abomination and fell prey to magic as well via Enchantress.@The Stegman said:

The watchtower blast was a city buster, even though it hit the Cadmus base, it STILL completely destroyed the city next to it, which is an even more impressive feat seeing as how it wasn't aiming for the city. Superman took it and was knocked out for a few minutes, while Thor's citybuster blast attack knocked him out for days. As well as him taking on Darkseid's Omega beams which destroy matter, and survives them.@The Stegman said:

I not sure about the Manhattan thing, I think its open to debate and I agree you might be correct and I might be wrong so
I'll have to go back and watch the episode again
EHM Thor in my opinion is pretty close to the levels of 90s Thor or Ultimates Thor
He does have better speed feats than comic Thor
Thor in Marvelcomicbooks has shown much greater blast power etc but Thor in Marvel comics has very few speed feats, he showed something like 10 speed feats in the past 60 years of continuity. That's kinda lame and that's why people can argue comic Thor has crap speed
EMH Thor shows lots and lots of speed feats
he's not slow like Grundy he's insanely fast and he's not getting blitzed period, I feel I'm right about his lifting power but agree I may be wrong about lifting Manhattan....not sure
but Static I am sure you are wrong about the 'breathing apparatus'
EMH cartoon Thor does not need to breath in space
and Earth's Mightiest Heroes Thor does have better durability and better blast power than cartoon Superman

To be fair, it didn't destroy the whole city.

@The Stegman said:

In the Gamma World episodes, Thor floored Abomination in one punch, but nor before take a few hits.
@Hoboseid said:

He's not, and that's just counting Classic Thor in general, before he acquired the Odin Force. Ultimate Thor is a completely different matter, since EMH Thor is loosely based on 616 Thor.
@Hoboseid said:

The thing is, you were wrong, and all it takes is a simple Youtube look up to find the episode and watch it.
@Hoboseid said:

Never mind the 'breathing apparatus.' Despite the fact that I was wrong, it's irrelevant. The fight isn't in space, and besides, Superman has had some showings of not needed a breathing apparatus in Justice League Unlimited, when he tried to stop the Watchtower from firing on Cadmus.
@The Stegman said:
@Static Shock: It didn't destroy the whole city cause it was a concentrated blast not targeting the city, but rather the Cadmus base, the fact that it's aftershock was enough to heavily destroy a city is proof of it's power.
The base was in the heart of the city, though. If the blast as powerful as you say, it would have laid waste to the whole city.
So....yeah I guess I can still say speed blitz right? If we are using cartoon superman does this only mean the JLU version or movie versions from Superman/Doomsday, Public Enemies, Apocolypse and/or JL: Doom. If so, I would like to present speed blitz (the kind he did to Darkseid at the end of Apocolypse, or when he blitzed Luthor's super team and got out of there in Public Enemies) as a viable option on his behalf. If not then he might lose 4/10 due to his reaction time not being as great as usual most of the time when he needs it against a magic user even though he recovered from Capt. Marvel each time (unless morals are off in which case he blitzes either way "world of cardboard" style).
