Superpowered Beatdowns

Superman vs Thor?

Thor. Just Thor.

Oh boy...tough one...erm, Im inclined to say Thor initially, but Supes will give him a run for his money...

Thor will give him a hammer to the face free of charge.
It is a tough one. I'll look up a bit of stats and history etcetera.

I don't know who would win actually... The major question for me is: would Superman be able to lift Mjolnir?

It should be realized Superman took harder beatdowns than Thor's hammer and was perfectly fine after some of them. I personally think Superman has it here due to more ranged attacks and I believe better durability.

I did do some research on Mjolnir.

The quick answer is no, he cannot lift it.

Actually, the full answer is more complex then that.
If the hammer judged him worthy, then yes, he'd be fully able to pick it up.
But only a handful of people outside of Thor have been judged worthy, so it's rare that it happens.

And if he intended to use Mjolnir to attack Thor, it would immediately judge him unworthy and well, he'd be forced to drop it.
The hammer isn't actually very heavy, it only becomes so as the result of magic or something.
And as a result, it defies the laws of physics, if the person trying to pick up has superhuman strength, it just increases it weight to beyond their strength limits.

Even the Hulk himself was incapable of picking up Mjolnir, so I don't fancy Superman's chances that much.


As to withstanding hits from Mjolnir, I'd put my money on Thor.
Superman may be strong, but even he can't resist the force that it would exert by lifting him off his feet.
Thor once fought a superhuman of similar strength level and when he hit him with Mjolnir, he sent the guy across the state!

There's only been one person Thor could not stop and that was the Juggernaut.
But that's a result of the Juggernaut's magical power, which will keep him moving forward despite whatever is in his way.
So again, the laws of physics are going out the window again.

In that case my money would be on Thor as well.
And now that you mentioned it, Hulk couldn't indeed lift Mjolnir...

Im pretty sure Superman is capable enough to do a serious amount of damage to Thor, even if he cant lift the hammer
