I guess I'll start. I like superman more because he was always what I wanted to be as a little kid. I identify with him more than I do Thor. And tbh...the animated series did a great job of swaying me toward him. Superman is such a kind and gentle and morally strong person. The power to destroy planets Ina guy that would rather not have to use the powers at all.

It's hard to think of one particular reason but I suppose that I enjoy Thor's powers and Viking panache. That and his noble yet fierce warrior spirit.

I like them equally, but they don't hold a candle to Martian Manhunter

Superman. Him being "idealised" is what makes him admirable from where I'm standing. I don't want to relate to my superheroes. That's what everyday real-life heroes are for. Not Superheroes. I want to look up to them.

But yeah, Thor is someone to be looked up to as well... Not just as high as Supes. Just IMO.

Thor. Thor was always that dude to me big bad ass warrior who didn't have a problem whipping asses. I really got into him reading my cousins copies of Simonson's run and was hooked since more or less.

@crimsonlord53: See to me that's kind of the point. Superman is supposed to be the symbol of hope and goodness for human beings. You see what I mean?

@rulerofthisuniverse: No, I was just saying that Thor's hammer was awesome. I just prefer Thor to Supes because I find Thor to be the more interesting person, and his mythological space adventures are extremely fun and captivating.

@sog7dc: lol its no problem. I really like superman too. Its funny because the majority of my friends are dc fans, and they HATE superman. I'm more of a marvel guy, and i'm the only one usually sticking up for him.

Oh and don't get me started on how they thought batman would EASILY beat supes in the Batman/Superman movie.

I used to think the same way. Then I read their books.

I love both but I like Thor more because I started reading comics with one of his books so he will always hold a special place in my heart.

superman because of villians like lex luthor & brainiac makes him more interesting. plus Man of steel blew away my expectations, makes me like him even more now.

Thor is more interesting and I like the fact that he isn't a goody goody. Not to mention he has some of the best runs in comics, Walt Simonson, Michael Stracyzinski and the great duo of Lee/Kirby. Nuff said.

Superman definitely. Thor is great but Superman contains what is for me the perfect set of characteristics and symbolic meaning to be the epitome of a superhero and an ideal of humanity we can all strive towards.

Love them both. But I would choose Thor over Superman because I started reading Busiek's Avengers before I started reading any Superman comics. And I like Thor's powers more, the whole elemental side of him.

Supes is far more interesting imo..his character just seems what a man with his powers who didn't want to rule the world would be

i do applaud the consistency of Thor's character though. He's a god prince. He's pretty much Namor who feel in love with these human things. If Atlantis was in another dimension and Namor got to come over and visit these new beings he'll be Thor. Same core guy who both seemed to be influenced by their environment.

Superman. He is an example that no matter how bad things get you shouldn't give up, and, will try to find the good in someone no matter how bad their crimes.

That was a good one! Naturally, Hercules is better than Superman or Thor.

If I had to choose between Superman and Thor, I'd pick Superman but it's close. Superman doesn't rely on a weapon.

Thor.

He's the God of freakin' Thunder, not some regular Man of Steel ;)
