Right, i'm sick of this... Superman would own Thor, no matter what you Marvel Fanboy's say...

Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a... bleeding Norse god with a hammer shoved up his nose? This match is more lopsided than the Green Lantern Vs Iron Man match-up was. This isn't even going to be more than moderately hard for Supes... nowhere near as hard as the Doomsday fights.

Whoever made that comment about Thor's "battle cunning" is further off base than The Joker would be in a parenting class. Thor literally fights crime with the "hit it with a hammer until it breaks" approach. And that's about the limit of ingenuity. Thor's tactical mind is nowhere near that possessed by the leader of the Justice League, the man that has been chosen to lead the massed heroes of his planet into battle more than once. Superman. The one and only. He is The Man, period, end of sentence, full stop.

Does Thor have the massed population Marvel Universe looking at the arrival of Ultimate Cosmic Baddie and immediately going "This is a job for Thor?" Does Thor have Darkseid finding excuses to be somewhere else whenever he shows up looking really pissed off? Has Thor ever punched through to the core of a planet with his bare hands? Jumped all the way to the moon? Gone from zero to .9 of lightspeed in 2 seconds or less? Single-handedly saved the planet Earth from an asteroid barrage? Single-handedly saved the planet Earth from being towed out to space and stolen by ultra-powerful alien collectors? Single-handedly saved the Earth from... ah, heck with it, if I listed every time Superman single-handedly saved the Earth from something we'd be here all year. That alone should tell you something.

Besides, Thor is slow. Look at him -- even the Hulk can snap off a punch faster than Thor can. And Superman is fast... we're talking warp speed fast. We're talking once around the entire planet and back before the TV commercial is over fast. Thor would be lucky if he even saw Superman before he got pounded.

"But the hammer is magic! Superman's vulnerable to magic!", you say. Dream on, O Deluded Marvel Fanboys... It wouldn't matter if Thor somehow managed to hit the world's second-fastest moving target despite being slower than a truck... it wouldn't matter if he "magic hammered" Superman into having broken ribs, punctured lungs, and a fractured skull. Superman would still win. Because he's Superman. Because he is one of the two greatest mythic icons in all of comics history, whereas Thor is just one of Marvel's recent sellers.

Superman, on the other hand, has not only all of the super powers, but is massively sexually frustrated from having to put up with Lois Lane, Lana Lang, et al. for all those years. Seething sexual fury enables him to be an unstoppable dynamo in this fight. After he stuffs the enchanted Uru hammer up Thor's hall of Asgard, Ragnarok begins on the Norse neo-hippy's skull. End of story. Superman burns his initials in Thor's ass with his heat vision, and flies off to the Fortress of Solitude to enjoy late night Cinemax with a six pack of beer and a box of Kleenex.

1. Superman is definitely stronger. Thor is, in the 90 - 100 ton range according to Marvel.com. Superman is WAY above that, even the more recent, lower strength version has lifted weights that were greater by a factor of 10.

2. Superman is a LOT faster than Thor. Faster, to use a choice cliché, than a speeding bullet. That means faster than a hurled Mjolnir.

3. Superman is more resistant to damage. The man has survived the ground-zero detonation of nuclear warheads.

4. Thor is not invulnerable (by his admission); he uses his hammer to block bullets, lasers, and tank shells.

After determining the nature of the magical threat, Superman will try and take the Hammer from Thor. Not knowing about the Odinspell enabling only those worthy to pick up Mjolnir, Superman can get the hammer anyway; because who's more worthy than Superman? Thus, Thor turn into a mortal form after 60 seconds, and Supes gets the powers of Thor added to his own.

and before any fanboy’s state that that series didn’t count, I will inform you that it was written by Kurt Busiek, a well known and respected writer for Marvel!
