Who's powers would you rather have in real life, Superman's or Thor's?

Well since I get mjolnir hell yea. I wouldn't want to be dependent on it but if any of us were that powerful would we really care about speed and all that whem wed be unstoppable

He just asked for powers. That doesn't mean a red sun exist or the properties in the red sun is the same as the comics. Its highly unlikely that you'll run into Kryptonite and if so you can easiyl destroy it. It doesn't exist anyways.

And how could you possibly run into a Red Sun and not notice? You should be able to see the sun from millions of miles away. Billions with Supermans eyesight.

I'm honestly not sure. Probably superman for the super intellect, but Thor wouldn't be that far behind for weather and earth control.

@wardemon32: Any gift comes with strings attached. Everything has an opposing force. If you take Superman's strengths, you must deal with his weaknesses.

@green_skaar: I know...I'm just saying :)

Superman:

• X-Ray vision
• Speed
• Heat Vision
• FTL flight/foot speed

@lukehero:

Yeah but his weaknesses don't exist in this world. They can't just suddenly appear out of no where. Every creation comes from some sort of universal reaction. I highly doubt the Universe would just create a sun because you got some powers. And Kryptonite wouldn't exist since it came from Kryptons explosion. If you're going to include kryptonite then Superman has to be there. A lot of characters has Supermans powers but not his weakness. OP just said his powers in the real world. We don't like in DC.

I believe Superman is potentially immortal, due to solar-energy consistently revitalizing him(and unless I'm mistaken, Thor just has an extremely long life-span).

@wardemon32: I see you what you are saying. But, for the sake of the discussion we need to have any pros vs cons, so we need the weaknesses to be in the mix. Otherwise of course everyone is just going to choose Superman's powers.

Thor.

• Creating tornadoes and controlling wind
• Planet shattering lightning
• I say when it rains
• Plus, Mjolnir

And I wouldn't wanna have a weakness to a rock.

Thor can control the weather and has tons of powers with the hammer and it would be cool to showoff that I'm the only one that could pick it up but Superman's powers are much more practical.

@ssj3gohan007:

This is real life right? Alright then. I'm fine with their physiology but I don't want their body shape... unproportional bulky giants.

My inner creepy stalking personality makes me pick Superman's power. I got x ray vision to peek and stalk others. I can also hide in the sky. As well as use super hearing to hear other people's conversation. The stalking potentials in Superman's powers are just way better than Thor's. I am serious and creepy like that. Lol

I really don't have much use for like...weather control....nor most of both's power. (I guess I can use the weather control to like...make a rainy day sunny because I want to go to the beach.) I'm not going to lift cars or buildings or like fight criminals. So, none of the super strength, speed or durability really matters. A normal life is nowhere near as dramatic as the movies (referring to Man of Steel movie). The only thing that's really practical is flight. There are also limitations to flying too. If you're going out with friends and need to drive others, flight is utterly useless. And I'm sure not everyone will enjoy flight. Even the super hearing and x ray vision is just...something that deprives others of their privacy and not that important but fun to have.

But yeah, Superman for his stalking potentials!!

I'd rather be a Kryptonian than an Asgardian Thunder God. Kryptonians have really conveniant powers that just aren't there for Asgaridians.

Y would amyone want to carry a huge hammer in their hand any time they want to do something spectacular 24\7..you'll have to set it down just to pick it back up/summon it back than put it down again just to handle normal earthly duties that require 2 hands lol..

Supes all day. If kryptonite is real then so should the worthy thing so both sides have a weaknesses

Thor. Longer lifespan, fewer weaknesses, Natalie Portman.

Superman. Thor's powers actually seem far less fantastic by comparison.

Yes this is real life. You don't have to look like them, if you don't want to.

You can just lift the car into the air, you know?

You can put the Hammer on your belt, you know or shapeshift into something more convenient.

Superman, he can do whatever Thor can do, sans the weather manipulation, only better. Plus he has like, a dozen different types of visions and can smell that someone is cooking brownies...FROM SPACE.

Oh really? Check this out;

Powers and Abilities:

Powers

Odin, the Skyfather of Asgard, said to the Earth Goddess Jord, also known as Gaea the Earthmother of Midgard, "I seek an heir whose powers surpass Asgard." Biologically half-Asgardian, half-Elder God, Thor possesses a number of superhuman attributes common among the Asgardian and other gods. However, some are considerably more developed than those of the vast majority of his race. The Mighty Thor, the Norse God of Thunder is the most powerful being on the planet and one of the most powerful beings in the universe. Besides being the strongest man in creation, and durable enough to withstand a blast from Celestials,Thor also has energy manipulation powers that are on par with the Silver Surfer, and magical abilities that have been shown, on occasion, to be as powerful as those of Dr. Strange himself He is also armed with Mjolnir, the mystical warhammer that has been shown to be capable of opening passageways through space and time, blocking all sorts of energy blasts, and bending the elements to its master’s will. Thor has been shown to be able to swing Mjolnir at twice the speed of light (and this was never claimed to the fastest that Thor could swing it either). Thor is a Norse warrior god, trained and skilled in the arts of battle, and he’s been doing it for countless ages. While Thor has usually been shown to rely solely on his fighting ability, super strength, and well nigh invulnerability, he has so many other options available to him if a fight starts going badly. He has complete mastery over the weather, he can open chasms in the earth, he can even drain the soul out of his opponent’s body, or if worst comes to worst, use the dreaded Godblast, an attack that is so powerful that one time Mjolnir shatered from the amount of power Thor channeled. Thor has even broken through the armor of the Celestial Exitar in one blow; the force of it created a shock wave which rocked the planet Pangoria to its foundations, and was about to destroy it entirely if Thor hadn't acted. While on Earth, Thor greatly withholds his power unless fighting someone with similar strength and durability.

Superhuman Strength: In addition to being the God of Thunder, Thor is also the Norse God of Strength, as such he is physically the strongest of the Norse gods and one of the most powerful beings in the Universe. His strength has been called unlimited. His feats include easily lifting over a millions tons without any effort, crumbling Uru into dust, defeating and overpowering superhumans as strong and powerful as the Silver Surfer, Namor, Juggernaut, Hercules, the Hulk, the Red Hulk, the Sentry, and Gladiator in single combat, lifting the Midgard Serpent,who was large enough to coil around the Earth from head to tail multiple times over and crush it in its grip., overpowering cosmic entities when pressed in battle and physically destroying stars, planets, and moons with only his fists. Thor also possesses a magical belt that doubles his natural strength. Thor is also capable of entering into a state of Berserker Rage known as Warrior's Madness, which will temporarily increase his strength and stamina tenfold but will only do so in desperate situations because it threatens his sanity.

Despite the fact that he always restrains and holds back his vast strength against mortals, he has been capable of stalemating an enraged Hulk in strength (depsite the fact that the Hulk was constantly increasing in strength every moment) for hours without tiring at all and while restraining himself as always, and knocking out the Hulk, How much strength Thor truly holds back against mortals is made clear, as he was capable of knocking out Namor with a single blow (despite Namor being fully hydrated and it was raining), easily defeating Bi-Beast (whose strength is said to equal the Hulk's), easily overpower the Red Hulk (who killed the Abomination, overpowered the Hulk, punched and injuring Uatu, killed the Grandmaster, and was able to absorb the Power Cosmic), nearly rendering the Juggernaut uncouncious in under a minute after negating his mystical defenses,and defeated both the Thing and an enraged Hulk at once in unarmed combat using only his vast physical strength.

Superhuman Stamina: Thor's advanced musculature is considerably more efficient than that of a human and most other Asgardians. His muscles produce no fatigue toxins during physical activity compared to those of humans and most other members of his race. His virtually inexhaustible stamina enables him to hold his breath for an undefined period of time and exert himself at peak capacity for months without tiring at all. Using the Belt of Strength also doubles his stamina. While in the Warrior's Madness, Thor's stamina also increases tenfold.

Superhuman Senses: Thor's superhuman sense's allow him to effortlessly see objects as far out as the edge of the Solar System, , allow him to track objects traveling faster than light, and hears cries from the otherside of the planet.

Super Breath: Thor can use his breath to create hurricane level winds.

Superhumanly Dense Tissue: Thor's skin, muscle, and bone tissues have several times the density of the same tissue in the body of a human being, contributing to his superhuman weight. He is invulnerable to powerful energy blasts, weighted impacts, falls from great heights, explosions and various other opposing forces.

Self Sustenance: He is capable of surviving in the vacuum of space unaided and does not need air, food, water, or sleep.

Godlike Invulnerability: Being a god whose heritage is half-Asgardian & half-Elder God affords Thor absolute invulnerability and immunity to such human ailments as diseases, toxins, poisons, corrosives, fire, electrocution, asphyxiation, lead, and radiation poisoning. Thor can drink mead all day long and not get drunk. He has withstood direct blows from beings with vast superhuman strength such as the Hulk, Hercules, Gladiator, Silver Surfer, Thanos, and the Red hulk. Thor can survive in the heart of the Sun with no discomfort, has flown through the heart of stars, and survived point blank energy explosions capable of destroying entire planets. He has survived a supernova blast of an exploding star unharmed, the gravity of a Neutron Star, and withstood the weight of a score of entire planets.Thor was able to survive direct multiple blasts from the Asgardian Detroyer (the weapon created by Odin and the gods from multiple pantheons to battle the Celestials). Thor also once took a glancing hit by a Doomsday Bomb that was capable of destroying an entire planet, and soon after that explosion he fell from space (leaving a crater miles wide) to a planet called Pangoria. He has withstood a blast from Odin (who is far more powerful than Thor),attacks from Celestials,and even withstood attacks from the leader of the Celestials.Thor is extremely difficult to kill as his life force is considerably augmented by his godlike heritage, powers, Mjolnir, and the Odin Force - even if it is only relegated within Mjolnir as a smaller portion at the moment.

Superhuman Speed: Thor can move at extreme speeds. Thor can fly to the sun in a matter of minutes. Thor was even able to strike down a moving Quicksilver and has claimed to have fought foes faster than him. He can throw Mjolnir at the speed of light and also swing Mjolnir at twice the speed of light. It has been established that the speed of Thor’s hammer transcends both Time & Space. In addition, Thor can appear anywhere across the Universe or other dimensions in just seconds . Thor could visually detect objects that move at fantastic speeds (this happened when Thor was the target of artillery fire and when he saw the speedy Hermes). once stated that Thor is as fast as the lightning he commands.

Regenerative Healing Factor: Despite his astounding resistance to injury, it is possible to injure Thor. In the rare instances that he is injured, his body is capable of repairing damaged tissue with much greater speed and efficiency than the body of a human being and almost all other Asgardians. He can regenerate missing limbs or organs, with the aid of magical forces such as Mjolnir or the Odin Force.

Superhuman Longevity: Thor, like all other Asgardians, isn't immortal in the same sense of some other god pantheons. Thor ages at a pace far, far slower than a human being as he is countless eons old; mortals' life spans are comparable to nothing more than a blink of his immortal eyes. He has watched worlds die, and even witnessed Suns explode throughout his unimaginably long life meaning that he is at least billions of years old.The consumption of the Golden Apples of the goddess Iddun is essential to an Asgardian maintaining their physical vigor but this has not shown to apply to Thor. Thor is immune to the effects of all Earthly diseases and infections.

Earth Control: After his resurrection, Thor has accepted his heritage as a child of the Elder Goddess Gaea and has gained the ability to control the Earth completely and has demonstrated this ability by being able to create continental-spanning chasms and earthquakes that are off the Richter Scale in the Earth itself. He can control landslides and avalanches.

Energy Manipulation: Thor has stated that he relies on the power of Mjolnir to often. Mjolnir does afford powers and abilities that he would not normally have, but Mjolnir is a tool and he has natural enery manipulation abilities without Mjolnir. During Ragnorak Thor had seen his family and friends fall to Loki's army and he reached down into himself for strength he never realized before and projected an energy blast so powerful that he knocked out Durok the Demolisher, who was so powerful that Thor, even with Mjolnir, was barely able to hold hold his own against.

Former Powers

Chronokinesis: The Power of Time. Thor had the ability to use Mjonir to travel through time. By spinning Mjolnir faster than light Thor could open a portal to the fourth dimension of time to travel to the past and the future.By swinging Mjolnir in a precise manner, Thor can circumvent time by creating a time warp around certain areas.

Rune Magic: During Ragnarok, Thor acquired knowledge and use of the Runes which granted him a practically infinite supply of mystical power and spells in addition to his other powers as a result of drinking from the Well of Mimir for wisdom and clarity of inner vision. Thor was able to cast spells generating a variety of powerful effects while in the Asgardian dimension including teleportation within a dimension (while even Odin could not), to Valhalla, Surtur's realm, and the Fates at the World Tree, Destroy a Mjolnir copy and channel it's energy into a magical force blast sufficient to destroy two demons simultaneously, unleash a wave of mystical energy strong enough to best Loki armed with a duplicate of Mjolnir, destroy the rebuilt Valhalla and slay numerous Rock Trolls in seconds, raise circular energy shields bordered by runes to block formidable blows of Mangog, see even without physical eyes and remove Loki's head without quenching his life, however, Thor's eyes have both been restored. Thor's command of and mastery of Rune Magic and Mysticism was far greater than any Asgardian or anyone in the Nine Realms. The only exception is Thor's father Odin and even then Thor already has demonstrated the potential to surpass his father in the future. It is unknown whether he still possesses the power of the Runes and if so to what degree since his birth, and there is no visible indication at any instance that the Runes have been retained.

Odin Force/Thorforce: The Odin Force (or rather Thor Force) enables him to tap into the practically infinite resources of cosmic and mystical energies of the dimension Asgard exists within, enhancing all of his abilities in turn. The sum total of Odin's power as the king of Asgard plus the power of his brothers Vili and Ve, as well as his own, which made Thor effectively omnipotent. The Odin Force significantly increased Thor's powers as well as giving him greater abilities than his father Odin and the previous Asgardian sky fathers possessed. While barely tapping into the limitless powers of his vast magical power, Thor easily disintegrating Captain America's shield with simply a look, easily teleporting Asgard into the skies above new York City, able to recreate the moon after it was destroyed in a battle with him and a powerful entity, will Mangog into nothingness, decapitate a Desak-occupied Destroyer by focusing a portion of his power into one Mjolnir hurl, and easily conquer all of Earth, and defeat all of its inhabitants such as the Sorcerer Supreme Dr. Strange. According to the avatar of the Odin Force, Thor recreating celestial bodies and his other accomplishments during his time on Earth were nothing but minimal compared to the Odin Force's limitless power,After his rebirth, Thor possessed only a tiny portion of the seemingly infinite power source that is the Odin Force which he used in the fight where he killed Odin's father Bor, and now that is imbued in Mjolnir.

• Thorsleep: Like Odin before him, Thor was required at certain times to enter a period of rest called Thorsleep, during which he would replenish his energies and could not be disturbed.

After gaining the power of the Runes in combination with the Odin Force, Thor's powers reached even greater heights, and he reached the point of surpassing his father in power to an even greater extent. With gaining the power if the Runes he gained understanding and enlightenment. He became virtually omniscient as well as quasi-omnipotent, being able to see the past, present and future completely, being able to see past the veil of time itself, he could see the future of all things, of every man and beast, every leaf on every tree, he could see beyond quantum structure; beyond the cosmic architecture, into the nothingness itself and the end of all things.

Abilities

Indomitable Will: Thor has shown to have a powerful force of will, so much so that he has defied the will of his father Odin, who is his king and is bound to serve him, on several occasions if he feels the need to do so. He does not back down from any foe, does not give into a fight and is willing to lay down his own life in defense of others.

Great Knowledge of Magic: During Ragnarok, Thor acquired knowledge and use of the Runes which granted him a virtually infinite supply of mystical power and spells in addition to his other powers, considerably honing his long undeveloped vast magical potential.

Master Combatant: Thor is a superbly skilled warrior trained in the arts of war with over countless eons of combat experience. He is known to be very cunning and intuitive in battles and wars having stalemated Captain America in martial combat and defeat Grog the God Crusher, while powerless and mortal with only his melee skills. Thor is one of the most skilled fighters to ever walk the Earth. He is a master marksman, and is proficient in all areas of combat including hand-to-hand and is skilled in the use of all Ancient European weapons specializing in swordsmanship and hammer throwing. Thor's martial methods may have been influenced by the fighting arts of the Vikings, Celts, Saxons, and Germanic tribes of ancient Europe. Being a War God as well as a Thunder God allows Thor to learn and master nearly all martial arts of Midgard as well. This gives Thor a huge advantage in combat by tapping into a vast multi-cultural perspective of combat arts, skills, strategies and tactics. Thor is known to be very cunning and intuitive in battles and wars.

Master Tactician: For over thousands of years, he has lead Asgard into battle against overwhelming forces with great leadership and employing strategies and tactics from possibly every culture on Earth as well as all the Nine Worlds of Asgard, including forgotten ones.

Leadership: Thor serves as the as the first choice to defend Asgard from it's enemies. He has earned the trust of his fellow Asgardians to follow him into battle. When Odin died after his battle with Surtur, all of Asgard was behind the idea to follow Thor as the new King of Asgard.

High Influential Connections: During his life, Thor has served Asgard as it's Prince, Lord, and King and with these positions he has had access to the wealth of Asgard to pay an Oklahoma land owner for the land he put Asgard on, all the weapons and magical artifacts in Asgard and field command of Asgard's forces in Odin's stead. As a founding member of the Avengers, he has a good reputation among Earth's heroes who would answer his call if needed and he would answer there call in return. He also has good relations with gods from other pantheons, so much that he was chosen to lead the God Squad to fight the Skull Patheon.

Diplomatic Immunity: After Thor's rebirth he used Mjolnir to recreate Asgard on Earth in Oklahoma. At this time Iron Man was head of S.H.I.E.L.D. and confronted Thor about his bringing Asgard in U.S. territory. After Thor beat down Iron Man, Stark suggested that Asgard be treated as a foreign embassy and with it citizens full diplomatic privaleges, to which Thor agreed.

Skilled Medic: Possessing a gifted intellect, Thor also has extensive medical knowledge due to his years spent on Earth as successful physician and surgeon Doctor Donald Blake and the EMT Jake Olson.

Strength level

Class 100+ ; Thor possesses vast physical strength, to which the exact limit is unknown, but he is able to lift far in excess of 100 tons effortlessly. He has shown enough strength to move and lift objects that are as heavy as the Earth and shatter entire planets with his blows. Thor is physically one of the strongest beings to ever walk the Earth and one of the most physically powerful beings in the Universe.

Paraphernalia

Megingjord: a magical belt worn by the Thunder God that would double his natural strength and stamina.

The warhammer Mjolnir: Thor wields Mjolnir, a hammer forged from Uru metal, whose chief properties are durability, the ability to maintain enchantment, and absorb energies. Mjolnir resembles more of a short handle mallet than a traditional warhammer. Mjolnir itself is already extremely durable like the Earth metal Adamantium or the Olympian metal Adamantine, and combined with the various enchantments placed upon it by Odin, is for all intents and purposes, indestructible. It has survived heat as extreme as the heart of the Sun, blasts powerful enough to destroy planets, and it has contained energy sufficient enough to destroy an entire Galaxy.

When Loki attempted to use the Silver Surfer to defeat Thor, he tricked the Surfer into attacking Thor, Loki even augmented the Silver Surfer’s powers with his own, after which the Surfer said that he had never felt that powerful before. He also claimed that Thor’s hammer was far more powerful than his own Power Cosmic. To quote the Silver Surfer himself, “I have seen his mallet’s magic, it is truly mightier than my cosmic force!”

Thor often uses the hammer as a physical weapon, with almost nothing being capable of withstanding a hammer blow or throw. It has been described as impacting with sufficient force to "destroy mountains" and has proven capable of shattering the armor of a Celestial, with a rare exception being primary adamantium. Mjolnir also grants Thor countless mystical attributes and powers such as manipulation of the fundamental forces of the universe such as the electromagnetic spectrum, gravity, etc. A few other examples of the countless abilities Thor has shown with Mjolnir are:

• Worthiness Enchantment: This enchantment surrounding Mjolnir prevents it from being wielded by anyone save those who have been found worthy. Thus far, this includes Thor, the Red Norvell, Beta Ray Bill, and Captain America. To anyone else, Mjolnir cannot be lifted from the ground nor wrested from Thor’s grip. Those who are deemed worthy are abled to wield Thor's powers. Captain America said "I've never wielded such limitless power before!" "It's almost intoxicating!"As the true master of Mjolnir, Thor can also will unto others the ability to wield the mystical hammer, bypassing the worthiness enchantment, and also empower them with his own godly abilities. As long as he is alive, no one but himself is able to wield the hammer.

• Mystical Link: Mjolnir obeys Thor’s commands as though it were alive, and if Thor’s will is strong enough, the hammer can pass through nearly any barrier to reach him should he so chooses; Mjolnir will even carve its way through the very center of entire planets to get back to Thor. Mjolnir can also transform Thor into his civilian guises. When Thor is a civilian, the hammer most often becomes an old wooden cane. While employing a mortal guise, Thor would transform back into his mortal form if he was separated from Mjolnir for more than 60 seconds. The 60 second enchantment is no longer in effect.

• Weather Control: Wielding Mjonir grants Thor the ability to control the base elements of a storm, i.e. rain, wind, thunder, lightning and more. He can create giant raging electrical storms complete with thunder, lightning, hurricane-force winds, tornadoes, blizzards, tidal waves, exploding volcanoes, earthquakes and torrential rains across entire planets at a moment's notice. He can also create any of these phenomena individually. Another aspect of this power allows him to stop any of these weather conditions instantly as well. Thor can create storms on a planetary wide scale or larger if needed, and is not limited to the normal limits of Mother Nature and can go beyond and defy what natural weather can do such as creating rain in space where there is no atmosphere. Thor's ability to control and create storms extends to any and all storms as he has been shown to control and create raging temporal storms in time, create Solar Flares, powerful stellar winds in space and so on.

• Flight: Thor is capable of hurling Mjolnir with great force and, by holding onto the leather thong, is capable of flying through the air at tremendous speeds. While in an Earth-like atmosphere, Thor generally flies at roughly the Speed of Sound, roughly 770 miles per hour. Thor can fly so fast that he is invisible to the naked eye. He has been clocked flying at three times the speed of light,and is capable of achieving speeds far greater than that. He can use the winds to hover and has shown the ability to fly without the aid of Mjolnir.

• Energy Projection: With Mjolnir, Thor can project powerful mystical blasts of energy. He can even channel energies for stronger energy attacks.

• Barriers: With Mjolnir, Thor is capable of creating powerful barriers, force fields and vortexes that are impenetrable. Not even Earth's most advanced weapons could weaken Thor's barrier field that shieled the U.N. headquarters. Thor stated that he could have contained a cosmic flash attack from Stellaris, this blast was strong enough to destroy the planet Earth.These vortexes and barriers are so immensely durable that Thor was able to completely contain the explosion generated by a life bomb, which is so powerful it would have completely destroyed a fifth of the Marvel Universe, without the vortex even faltering, meaning that Thor literally contained a blast that is capable of annihilating millions upon millions of Galaxies.

• Energy Sensing: Mjolnir can detect practically all types of energy.It reacts particularly strongly to evil psychic energy. and can also track down the energy patern of someone in hiding.Mjolnir can also detect any Asgardians aura by their electrons discharge.

• Energy Absorption and Redirection: Thor is able to use Mjolnir to absorb any energy blasts directed towards him as means of attack. Once the energy is absorbed, Thor can redirect it back amplified many times over towards the source and/or use it as a weapon of his own. Thor has used Mjolnir to reflect the vast and hazardous amounts of energy being emitted by the biological weapon implanted within the Wasp's body by the Skrulls back at her while all of Earth's other super humans were helpless. Thor used Mjolnir to absorb Ultron's entire energy source, the Silver Surfer's Power Cosmic, -Walker's Cosmic Tempest, radio active energy magnetism such as Magneto's personal magnetic field and a portion of the Pangoria's planetary magnetic field. Mjolnir's ability to absorb energy is so powerful he managed to absorb, contain and redirect the entire energy of the Null Bomb, which was powerful enough to destroy the entire galaxy, absorb mystical energies, such as Pluto's mystic flame, He was even able to absorb a portion of the mystical energies from every god patheon on Earth, and absorbed the electromagnetic energies of the Celestial Mother-ship.

• Teleportation: By grasping Mjolnir by the leather thong and rapidly swirling it, Thor can channel energies for the purpose of opening gateways which he and others can pass through. He can open gateways which allow him to travel across locations no matter how great the distance within moments or even across entire dimensions, as he does when he travels from Asgard to Earth and vice-versa. Thor has used Mjolnir to rip the fabric of the Universe to send Surtur and Yimir to the Death Dimension and send an entire population to Limbo, Thor can also use Mjolnir to travel through portals anywhere within the same dimension. He formerly possessed the ability to travel through time, but the temporal energies of the hammer were drained when Immortus asked Thor to use his hammer to save the planet Phantus and bring it back out of limbo and into the space-time continuum.

• Matter Manipulation: This ability allows Thor to manipulate matter from a molecular level to a vast scale, which allows him to create other configurations and even allows him to transmute the elements themselves. This ability was evident when he transmuted the Absorbing Man's wood and iron body to the gas helium.

• Resurrection: While channeling his power through Mjolnir, Thor was able to resurrect a man he had wrongly killed.

• Alpha Particles: Thor's hammer can harness Alpha Particles from the atmosphere and could use it to atomize any weaponry.

• Negation of Mystic Energy: He used this ability on the Juggernaut himself to negate the mystical energies that grant him his mystical invulnerability, allowing him to defeat Juggernaut in combat. He was able to stop Mephisto from taking human souls to the Dark Dimension.

• Cosmic Energy: Mjolnir allows Thor to produce and control Cosmic Energy to an unknown limit for a variety of purposes.

• Electromagnetic Spectrum Manipulation: Thor was able to absorb and manipulate the electromagentic energies of the Celestial Mothership.

• Invisibility and Intangibility: Thor can turn himself or others, using Mjolnir, completely intangible and/or invisible. An offshoot of this ability is that Thor can use Mjolnir to completely disrupt the phasing abilities of super humans such as the Vision, Shadowcat etc.

• Transmigration of Souls: Thor's hammer has the ability to manipulate souls.

• Life Force Absorption: Thor used this ability on the supervillain the Presence, who was forced to surrender before being reduced to a lifeless husk.

• Illusion Detection: Mjolnir can distinguish images, holograms, and different illusions from reality: Thor once commanded the hammer to strike the demon lord Mephisto, who was hiding amongst false images of himself.

• Interdimensional Messaging: Thor can used Mjolnir to send psychic messages between the nine realms.

• Undead Lethality: As a former religious relic, Mjolnir is lethal to undead. Thor once threw Mjolnir at a vampire, with contact causing the vampire to burst into flame and crumble to dust.

• Transformation: When Thor was living on Earth under his mortal guise, he could use Mjolnir to transfor from his Donald Blaker persona into Thor and vice versa. Thor loses this ability when Odin permanently separates the two personas.

• Immunity to Other Forces: Even without activating the powers of Mjolnir, Thor's hammer, enchanted by Odin, is impervious to nearly all forms of change, as he himself claimed that no power in the universe but the All-Father's could affect Mjolnir, shown when Amora's magical efforts during her first confrontation with Thor to change it into a deadly serpent availed her naught.

Not everything, there is plenty of Thor's abilities that Superman can't replicate such as magic, matter manipulation, energy manipulation, Earth Control, Teleportation, can create Barriers, even time-travel. Can kill Gods, Immortals, and other indestructible beings via God Blast. There's also the ODINFORCE, which is Omnipotent. When he temporarily absorbed the ODINFORCE, he was completely invincible, he was able to damage Captain America's Vibranium/Adamantium Shield and had other incredible feats that put every other superhero to shame.

The only thing good about Thor is that Mjolnir is bad ass. Being able to call it just by raising your hand is hype. Overall Superman powerset is far superior to have to me.

Okay, let me rephrase. Superman can do everything Thor can do, not everything his special, super McAwesome hammer can do. Plus, in the real world, when the hell will I need to use a God Blast or kill an immortal being??

@ssj3gohan007: I mean the more traditional definition of "fantastic" - imaginative or fanciful; remote from reality.

Now, i'd say Superman's powers are less remote from reality (what with gods and what not), but they are more fanciful. In fact, one thing i've never loved about Thor, and I am a huge fan of heavy hitters of DC and Marvel, is that he is just the Norse god in comic book form.

Odin Force/Thorforce: The Odin Force (or rather Thor Force) enables him to tap into the practically infiniteresources of cosmicand mysticalenergies of the dimension Asgard exists within, enhancing all of his abilities in turn. The sum total of Odin's power as the king of Asgard plus the power of his brothers Vili and Ve, as well as his own, which made Thor effectively Omnipotent. The Odin Force significantly increased Thor's powers as well as giving him greater abilities than his father Odin and the previous Asgardian sky fathers possessed. While barely tapping into the limitless powers of his vast magical power, Thor easily disintegrated Captain America's shield with simply a look, easily teleporting Asgard into the skies above new York City, able to recreate the moon after it was destroyed in a battle with him and a powerful entity, will Mangog into nothingness, decapitate a Desak-occupied Destroyer by focusing a portion of his power into one Mjolnir hurl, and easily conquer all of Earth, and defeat all of its inhabitants such as the Sorcerer Supreme Dr. Strange. According to the avatar of the Odin Force, Thor recreating celestial bodies and his other accomplishments during his time on Earth were nothing but minimal comparedto the Odin Force'slimitlesspower,After his rebirth, Thor possessed only a tiny portion of the seemingly infinite power source that is the Odin Force which he used in the fight where he killed Odin's father Bor, and now that is imbued in Mjolnir.

After gaining the power of the Runes in combination with the Odin Force, Thor's powers reached evengreaterheights, and he reached the point of surpassing his father in power to an even greater extent. With gaining the power if the Runes he gained understanding and enlightenment. He became virtually omniscientas well as quasi-omnipotent, being able to see thepast, present and future completely, being able to see past the veil of time itself, he could see the future of all things, of every man and beast, every leaf on every tree, he could see beyond quantum structure; beyond the cosmic architecture, into the nothingness itself and the end of all things.

I don't see how Superman's powers are more fantastic than that? Thor was completely ALL-POWERFUL, OMNISCIENT, OMNIPOTENT, etc.

Mjolnir, duh.

@ssj3gohan007:

LMFAO. Did you really go and copy paste dudes powerset like people have no idea what Thor is capable of? GTFOH. That all looks GREAT on paper. Still going with Superman. Especially since Thor has been reduced to barely more than a jobber nowadays.

@ssj3gohan007: That's true. I didn't really consider that as it'll be a bumpy ride like a roller coaster. But that's still not something for everyone. Like I trust myself but I still wouldn't want to be in a car being lifted by myself with Superman's power. Not the perfect analogy, but it's kind of like... showing a friend that I can lift a car easily then holding their hand and ask them to jump off the ledge of a cliff and tell them I can hold on to you. I don't think everyone is willing to do something like that.

I guess some people are totally fine being Superman and getting all the fame and glory. But I wouldn't really want to get all the media on me or something like that. Flying with anyone but myself would definitely catch that kind of attention, since I can fly at a much faster speed alone than with someone as my body can definitely handle it.

Dat lightning doe

Love both powersets but I'd rather not be reliant on a weapon so I choose Superman.

What are the downsides of being too reliant on a weapon?

My ego is healthier (hence, I am more confidant) if I am reliant only upon my own mental and physical abilities.

Superman.

Thor is a bundle of very destructive abilities. Thor is a warrior. Part of his worthiness is his willingness to hurt and destroy his enemies.

As Superman, I could still live as myself, incognito, and still have useful powers without the hammer

Superman does not need to be destructive to make the most of his powers. Thor does because he exists for war.

Here is another interesting question, not just for you but for everyone, would you save innocents and stop criminals if such an opportunity presented itself? Or would you be able to ignore the innocents cry out for help and just go about your day like nothing happened?

I see your point and that is very wise.

@ssj3gohan007:

I think I'd be kinda like Hancock. With Superman's power material wealth becomes meaningless, so you'd have a lot of time on your hands to help and stop war...at first.

Over time apathy and cynicism would become inevitable, and while you'd be helping you'll get filled with disgust too.

Thor. . . superman may be stronger and faster, but I would just enjoy Thor's powers more. That lightning strike with his hammer is way cooler than heat ray vision.

Superman

do I get the backstory? and elsewhat?

If yes, THOR, living in the realm of the gods, where the good life is depicted as eating contests, drinking contests, beautiful women, and good excercise every day (in the form of comradity with fellow battlemates) and as a well sought after prince of said society.;..... YEAH that.

if I don't have the backstory... and I am just me.... Superman has a lot more real world applications (and certain versions have even more uses than others.)

Superman no doubt.

Thor because he is weaker.Seriously guys?With Superman is no fun in fights since he can defeat technically anyone and is unstoppable.

Honestly the weaker hero standing against stronger one is in my eyes more respectful.

For Thor, you would be the most powerful Asgardian God, second only to Odin himself. Odin would adopt you as his own son. You could be considered the new Thor, God of Thunder, wielding Mjolnir and all that. Let's assume the old Thor died fighting the Midgard Serpent and you replaced him. Odin would make you a prince of Asgard and his heir/successor. So all the things that you wanted would come to pass.

So you would rather fight as someone weaker, giving you a chance to actually be killed? ;)

Not like our world has anything that could kill Thor or Superman...

Thor. Get a hammer to hit people with and weakness to kryptonite or Red sun.

Thor's Mjolnir has access to an endless list of possibilities that come in real handy in various situations. There doesn't appear to be anything it can't do. As Thor you have your very own kingdom - Asgard. Do you not see the usefulness of being a Prince and having the ability to travel across the 9 realms at your convenience?

Superman

After careful consideration I go with Thor. He doesn't require the Hammer for his strength and durability or resistance to poison, disease, etc. Also living in Florida, it would be nice to not worry about a hurricane killing my friends and family.

Wait, I get to have Mjolnir(as well its time travel ability, which was removed) and be Prince of Asgard? Do I get the Odin Force too?

Yes, you get everything. You are prince of Asgard. All of Mjolnir's powers, past and present - the whole nine yards.

Yes, you get the Odin Force too.
