While Superman could potentially overpower Thor, blows rendered by the mystical Mjolnir would likely impose serious damage on the Kryptonian hero. However, with his super-speed, the Man of Steel could probably avoid the Thunder God's lightning.
While Superman and Thor both have compelling arguments and have been proven to be a relatively even match, Superman ultimately would win the day, unless Thor had Kryptonite on hand.
Over 12 issues, Thor is defeated multiple times by the five new Phoenix hosts: Cyclops, Colossus, Emma Frost, Namor, and Magik. At one point, Colossus is even able to smash Mjolnir away from Thor's hands, proving Phoenix is a strong force not to be messed with.
Captain Marvel, also known as Carol Danvers, is one of the most powerful superheroes in the Marvel universe, and her abilities could potentially give her an edge over Superman in a hypothetical battle. Captain Marvel possesses superhuman strength, speed, and endurance that could match or even surpass Superman's.
One of the best comic book crossovers ever, The JLA/Avengers written by Kurt Busiek and George Perez, gives fans one of the most thrilling comic book panels ever, where Superman wields not only Thor's hammer, but Captain America's Shield, as well.
Clearly, Thanos is aware he wouldn't be able to lift it. Although it's hard to pinpoint what exactly makes someone worthy of using Mjolnir, as it's ultimately determined by Odin, who placed the enchantment on the hammer, some believe one's worthiness is measured by traits like courage, honor, and selflessness.
The more he is exposed to the sun of Earth's solar system or any other like it, the stronger Superman becomes, even at one point becoming so powerful that he shattered an entire dimension with a single punch. However, at his base strength, Superman is nowhere near strong enough to break Captain America's shield.
There's no question the Hulk is a near-indestructible force who comes out on top in almost all of his battles of pure strength. However, against Superman, he's outmatched. While Hulk's strength might rival that of the Man of Steel, Superman's other abilities give him a considerable edge against his opponent.
As mighty as they are, neither Thanos nor Superman is immortal. Both have been killed in the past, meaning neither is unbeatable. However, Thanos would need an ironclad plan to trap and defeat the Man of Steel, because if it comes down to plain old fisticuffs, Superman is definitely going to win.
Kryptonians Can Beat Black Adam (Despite His Magic)
As the Justice League reflect, while Superman's specific vulnerabilities give Black Adam a chance against him, that doesn't mean the two are equal in power, and the Man of Steel is the clear winner in any comparison.
This move proves that, while Hulk can be stronger than Thor in absolute terms, the God of Thunder has many more advantages. He has centuries of battle experience, the hones skills of a warrior, and one of the most powerful weapons in the universe.
Despite his immense power, the Hulk has been defeated by heroes like Wolverine, Iron Man, Puck, and the Punisher. Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, and the Thing have also managed to take down the Hulk using their intelligence, teamwork, and unique abilities.
One of Superman's greatest weakness is the element Kryptonite. Now if you give Superman Kryptonite he dies. Thor can make kryptonite with his hammer and give it to Superman and Thor wins the fight easily.
Superman can't match up to him in terms of reflexes, speed, and agility, which means Goku might be able to block any attempt of an attack from one of DC's strongest characters while landing some heavy blows of his own. Add to that his Saiyan pride and chances are, Goku wouldn't ever give up.
While the Hulk may experience moments where he appears to reach Superman's power levels, it's practically a given that the Man of Steel has even more limitless strength and is just holding back.
However, in a fight, there's little to nothing that Captain America can do against Superman. Cap would give it a try, of course, but he just couldn't do anything that would have an effect on Superman. Superman doesn't even have to avoid his shots - just let Cap hit him until he felt like ending the fight.
Against Galactus, a being of Superman's size and strength would only stand a chance if Galactus is tremendously weak with hunger. Even if that were the case, the odds of Superman triumphing over Galactus are incredibly slim.
Whether it is his superhuman strength, speed, vision, or invincibility, Superman has the edge over most foes, with fighting skills and experience that are unmatched. It's no surprise that Superman would beat the web-slinger rather easily.
While the current roster of the Avengers is a pretty formidable group, there's a very good chance Superman is going to be able to run through a good amount of them in short order. However, the Avengers have a whole lot of underrated members they can call on for help and that's going to make a world of difference.
In Age of Ultron, concentrated energy blasts of sufficient heat and power are also shown to be effective against Vibranium. Thor's lightning, Vision's Mind Stone lasers and Iron Man's repulsor beams were able to melt Ultron's body when used in combination, meaning that high enough temperatures can break Vibranium down.
If Marvel fans have ever wondered if Spider-Man was worthy of lifting Thor's hammer, the answer is yes. Just NOT the Spider-Man you think… Although he didn't really meet Thor beyond a couple shared scenes in Avenger's Endgame, Spider-Man has shown he's actually a big fan of the Thunder God.
