Having said that I'm voting Thor on this. As I too think that Thor has the upper hand.

The only way I'm voting Superman is if were making it pre-crisis Superman. Nothing short of Eternity is beating him.

I agree with this, for sure.

Hal is my personal fav, but as a kid Superman was tops for me. Just the thought of the music still gets me to this day.

Yeah, same here. Honestly, I think I like Superman more because I read so many of his 50s and 60s books. The books more recently tend to be less interesting for me, except for the excellent recent run on Action.

That is the main reason reason why I don't buy Superman comics because in the DC world there is no challenge. I had hopes for Doomsday as a major long term Villain Supes could beat and had to find other ways of dealing with him but soon Supes is pummeling him to, sigh.

Superman's vulnerability to magic is one of the main reasons, sure. But there's also something to the fact--at least for me--that Thor is a God, and Superman, for all his power, is just a guy from another planet. Granted, there's a philosophical question to be raised here--how is a very powerful guy from Krypton different from a very powerful guy from Asgard? But still, to me, there's a difference. Thor's all about magic--divine magic, maybe, but there's never been a separation between the arcane and the divine that I know of in terms of Supes' vulnerability.

It'd be a very tough fight, I have no doubt. But I do think that Thor would take it.

And I can't tell you how much I dislike Superman's "in my world, the dials go up to eleven!" line. I mean, come on...does Superman need to quote Spinal Tap? Seriously? That's a Spidey-line, at best.

I agree with this line of thought. Also, let's remember that Thor's a killer, Superman is not. Now, Thor won't kill to win a battle against a noble foe but he's more prone to striking hard and for the kill if needed.
