Even so, taking both heroes at their maximum potential, it's practically a given that Superman would overpower Thor in terms of sheer physical strength. He may not consider himself a god, but the Last Son of Krypton can still outmatch the God of Thunder on his best day.
While Thor is one of the mightiest gods in the Marvel Universe, he is still no match for the unparalleled power of Superman. However, even the Man of Steel admitted that Thor could be almost at his same level. Maybe the outcome of their battle would be different in other circumstances.
No. Thor's hammer is extremely durable. We've seen Superman hit with things before that didn't break. The only way I see a fight with Thor & Superman ending with Mjolnir broken is if Superman punched it as hard as he could while Thor was swinging it as hard as he could.
It's clear which of the two Avengers has more physical strength. When Thor wields Mjolnir, he can hit harder, summon deadly storms, and fly. But without his trusty hammer, Hulk genuinely earns the "strongest Avenger" title.
It's important to note that the rules around worthiness had been temporarily suspended to allow this to happen. As soon as the fight was over, Superman couldn't lift the hammer anymore. However, under normal circumstances, without any weird interference, Superman is worthy of Mjolnir.
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.
The simple answer is no. Yes, Hulk absolutely smashes Thor to the ground with Mjolnir, but, he's holding both Thor and the hammer. Hulk wouldn't have been able to lift Mjolnir by himself, but since the God of Thunder had a firm grip on it as well, he was able to use it as a weapon against his teammate.
It depends on the situation. If fighting mortals, he holds back, using less than 1/3 of his power. That taken into consideration, he's one shotted Classic Abomination. Or punched Minotaur who had the strength of the Hulk, so hard, he knocked him…
Thanos. Thor nearly killed Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War with a surprise attack, but came up short in the end. This signaled that Thor is close to Thanos' power level, but other fights go to show that the Mad Titan is still the superior being. Thanos dispatched Thor with ease in Infinity War's opening scene.
By threatening a woman's life, Hulk blackmailed Thor into fighting him without Mjolnir's might. In turn, this was a more one-sided affair than many of their previous conflicts. Thor was heavily beaten, even though he refused to yield to Hulk's strength.
Confirmed as the MCU's most powerful superhero, the Scarlet Witch would make short work of Superman. Had Thanos's forces not interrupted her in Avengers: Endgame, she would have defeated the Mad Titan, and the Man of Steel would be similarly overpowered by the Avenger.
On their own, both these noble heroes are capable of beating incredible forces. But for all Shazam's power, he does not match Thor's experience in using the more arcane elements of his abilities.
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.
Captain Atom and Superman have fought before. In that battle, Superman had to pull out a trick or two to come out on top because, at the end of the day, Captain Atom is stronger than Superman. On top of his strength and invulnerability, Captain Atom can absorb and expel radiation and energy of all kinds.
He has centuries of battle experience, the hones skills of a warrior, and one of the most powerful weapons in the universe. Putting it all together, Thor can win against the Hulk, even if he can't kill the Jade Giant.
9 Thor Is Stronger Than Thanos But That Doesn't Mean He Can Beat Him. Thor and Thanos have tangled several times over the years, with Thanos being one of the few beings that Thor can't beat in a fight. However, that isn't for lack of trying and it isn't for lack of strength.
Portrayed by Anthony Hopkins, Odin is the powerful ruler of the Nine Realms who has sworn to protect every kingdom under his rule. With Odin still ruling Asgard, Thanos would have easily been stopped had he made a play for the Infinity Gauntlet.
Thanos and Hulk have clashed several times in Marvel lore, with Thanos even admitting he was scared to face the Hulk before acquiring the Infinity Stones. While Thanos is usually the victor, it's generally down to him using superior tactics and technology, rather than simply possessing greater physical strength.
Loki is confirmed to be worthy of lifting Thor's hammer, Mjolnir, for the first time in official Marvel canon. In The Immortal Thor #5, Loki confidently catches and wields the hammer, showcasing his growth and heroism.
Mjolnir is not particularly heavy, it weighs 42.3 lbs. The fact that almost no one except Thor can lift the hammer has nothing to do with it's physical weight. The hammer is enchanted so that only those deemed 'worthy' are able to wield it.
