O Dr. Sunday,
Who would win in a fight between Superman and the Mighty Thor? I've often wondered that, and I've only been into comics for a few years. They're both extremely strong, and can fly (well Thor's flight powers apparently come from his hammer, but you know). Also, WHY isn't the Green Lantern considered to be the most powerful of all the characters since he has that power ring which could do anything he imagines??? I'm just really confused by that.

Dear Comics Confused,
The victor in a Superman vs The Mighty Thor battle would more than likely have to be the Mighty Thor. Strengthwise, I'd give something of an edge regarding raw strength to Superman, obviously, but the well and often remarked vulnerability to magic that Superman has puts him at a bit of a disadvantage when facing a thunder god whose weapon just happens to be an enchanted hammer. It'd be a rad battle, though, to be sure.
As for the Green Lantern(s), they're not omnipotent. There are always limitations to what they can do-- the rings are powered by will, and depending on when you read, have various weaknesses (the color yellow). But the spirit of your question is a good one: it's a weapon that is often underutilized, because the writers want stories to be interesting. The power rings are usually held within certain parameters, or the rules of the Green Lantern Corp, else the comic would be about two pages long.
For the record, I'd make an awesome Green Lantern.
I hope this helps you.
Always listening,
Dr. Sunday

I'll weigh in on this subject as well. First of all, Superman is the worst superhero ever created, for reasons so obvious that, if you are unaware of them, you might want to visit a hospital, as you are most likely brain-dead.
ReplyDeleteSecondly, Thor is a mythical GOD. His very Asgardian existence disproves Clark Kent's small town Kansas monotheistic beliefs. Take that, Supes.
Thirdly, Thor is basically the Marvel equivalent of DC's Captain Marvel. Superman has had trouble with Captain Marvel's magical lightning abilities on multiple occasions. And I have no doubt Thor could pwn Captain Marvel, as CM is such a nancy boy that DC named his comic "Shazam!" They might as well have called "Ta-da!" or "Fabulous!"
Fourthly, DC sucks. The only thing they have going for them is Batman. And the Vertigo line.
Truth all around. I've often said, I'd not turn down Superman's powers, but I don't care for him at all.
ReplyDeleteThe best thing about Frank Miller's "Dark Knight Returns" (and its sequel) is watching Superman get the holy hell beaten out of him by Batman.

ReplyDeleteI would beat all these 'super' heroes in a fight. You're asking yourself how? Easy.
ReplyDeleteI am a human. They are cartoons on paper. A simple lighter would do the trick. They lay in ashes. I spit on their grave(s).
I win.
