New Debat from the Ninja: Who would win Superman vs Thor?

2. Super Speed

This is Superman’s one true advantage in this fight. Superman is fast. We’re talking warp speed fast. We’re talking once around the entire planet and back before you can blink fast. You could easily make the argument that Thor would be lucky if he even saw Superman before he got pounded. But is Thor as slow as everyone seems to think? Unknown to many DC fanboys Thor can throw his hammer at the speed of light (See Thor#140, Thor#274). He can also swing it at TWICE the speed of light (Journey Into Mystery#102). In Thor -#393- it’s 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 (see- FF#339, and Thor#166). And, most importantly, Thor could, visually, detect objects that move at fantastic speeds (this happened when Thor was the target of artillery fire- see Invaders#33- and Avengers-#281- when he saw the speedy Hermes. And yes, I do need a life). Now if we accept that Superman can move at 99% of the speed of light, and that Thor can swing his hammer at twice the speed of light, it stands to reason that big blue is in some trouble. It’s true that Thor doesn’t use his super speed abilities often, but how many times have you seen Superman not use his super speed when he should have?

Winner: Superman

If we accept Superman moves 99% speed of light, that will still boost Thor to move an object twice the speed. I find it unacceptable for anything with mass to move the speed of light. Everything else in comics is acceptable. Don't judge me. :ninja:

So if we try to apply science to this (why not, we have a celestial being and a god) then nothing can move faster then the speed of light.

If Thor can throw his hammer at 99.99% the speed of light (the maximum allotted without surpassing light speed) and it is twice as fast as Superman... That means Superman would technically only move 49.995% the speed of light which drastically knocks him down from being as fast as imagined.
This is excluding the hammer transcending time and space because I do not know if I can comprehend an argument about that.

I found this a while back and this was just awesome.

"What If Superman Punched You"



If now Superman is only moving at approximately 50% of the speed of light but Thro can launch his hammer the speed of light... The punch of Superman can be replaced by Thor's hammer.

Naw dude. Batman's villains don't even have super powers. The Joker, Riddler, King Tut, the Penguin... They don't even fight. They have their henchmen fight Batman

Killer Croc. Superhuman strength, regenerative power, nearly impenetrable skin, enhanced smell, etc.

Bane. Venom is the equivalent of superpowers since it gives him superhuman stength and of course he actually broke Batman's back so he can fight and DOES his own fighting (well he HAS had henchmen but when it comes to batman he usually prefers fighting him)

Ra's al Ghul. no real superpowers aside that the lazarus pit make him immortal, but he rivals Batman in fighting skills.

That's just off the top of my head, there's more.
