    After a while spent reading vs. threads between these three powerhouse's, I'm a little confused by something.

    From what I have read, It's generally accepted that Thor can defeat Silver Surfer. It's also generally accepted that Superman can defeat Thor. However, I've also read that Superman cannot take Silver Surfer on at all.

    Can you guys please clarify what's up in these scenarios?

    Thanks :D

    @powerwoman: While I think Superman beats Thor he would lose to silver surfer. If Surfer actualy used his freaking powers right.

    @powerwoman: True. You have some instances where he is godly powerful and others where he gets stomped by Thor. Most of the time from him not using his full power.

    SS using his power to the fullest should GOD SMACK Thor and Supes.

    Thor and Superman are pretty close, despite what people says, a battle between them could go either way.

    @powerwoman: They are. Strength pretty much equal.

    Speed= Superman

    Overall power= Thor

    SS would win if he uses his power. If not either Superman or Thor. Both are the most powerful superheroes of their universe

    Thor has beaten SS before and the main issue here is that mjolnir is a great defence against SS Cosmic powers. Superman doesn't have a defence against the power cosmic and theoretically SS could do anything he wanted to Superman. He can manipulate matter, time travel, create black holes, drain energy, etc, etc. I feel sure he would have the ability to remove Superman from his yellow sun power source and then KO him. I'm not sure who says Superman will beat Thor. I think that one is too close to call.

    Thor using his full power vs SS using his full power = Thor for the win, when you add, Warriors Madness, Odinforce , or Rune King Thor, the degree of the loss for the SS just increases. In the case of Superman the battle can go eitherway in a regular battle ,but that's without Odinforce, Rune King, or Warrior Madness power levels. Warrior Madness Thor would put Superman at a disadvantage, Thor wouldn't hold back at all.

    It really is just based on who the writer wants to win. If Superman can holf up the weight of the planet for five days, and travel faster than light how can anyone below a Galactus level really beat him. Writers always just pull out whichever power, or ignore another's power whenever they want. Thor without the Odinforce shouldn't beat SS nor Superman even with warriors madness.

    Thor over silver surfer over superman. Superman is outclassed in my opinion though not by much. And let's face it these vs is only people's speculation. Don't go calling me a thor fan boy either. Tour and silver surfer are my faves along with a few others in marvel and superman and gl are in dc.

    galactus is way above the planet busting level,people that beat superman or give him a very good fight usually are other powerful kriptonians,doomsday,darksierd,orion,black adam,manhunter,wonder woman,maxima,etc,all planet busters.

    Well, I'm pretty sure Superman can Handle Surfer only if Surfer is morals on and Superman bloodlusted. Silver Surfer bloodlusted destroys Superman and Thor. Thor with Warrior Madness is crazy levels. People say that Superman would loose so easily which when I read some comics of him doing some things, I think he can fight a moral on silver surfer and here are reasons:

    In ACTION COMICS #847, There was one point of Superman fighting a Sun Eater. He took alot of radiation and red sun energy to the face just to protect the bomb. Even taking all of the hits, Superman still survived and detonate the bomb and the Sun Eater exploded as Superman survives. After that, he took his adopted father home. In Superman For Tomorrow, he fought General Zod under a Red Sun and their battle cracks up a planet they were on and Superman still won.

    Now you can count that as surviving red sun radiation or a exploding star level, Sun eaters eats Stars and planets for breakfast. The Man Of Steel can still fight under a Red star radiation but needs to work harder. Kal El wouldn't loose that easily with red sun radiation.

    Superman resisted double black holes ((even if it wasn't real ones.)) it was still two black holes while he was flying at Mach 1,000 or 10x the speed of light to escape them. He matches a vibrating pattern off a freaking planet.

    No Caption Provided

    Molecular level by escaping black holes are right there. Matching a pattern off a planet. He actual can go Intagible. He just needs to work with alot of energy.

    @studentofjorel: Thor wasn't in warrior madness when he defeated SS and Post SS stomp Supes and can easily win against Thor.

    Last posts I read, Thor was broken, his combat speed should match his class. Even hulk can move fast when motivated.
