Both Thor And Superman are considered some of the most powerful heroes in comic book history. As two of the main powerhouses of their respective universes, Kal-El and the Odinson have been pitted against one another by fans – and even by creators – countless times. In one such canonical occasion, Superman even came out on top, but with Thor’s new status quo, a rematch would certainly have a very different outcome.
in JLA / Avengers #2 by Kurt Busiek, George Pérez, Tom Smith and Comicraft The titular teams have a classic misunderstanding before their eventual team-up. As such, Superman and Thor fight tooth and nail One of the most devastating bouts of superhero comics.
Ultimately, the exhausted Man of Steel triumphs, but not without acknowledging Thor as the “One toughest opponent“What he’s ever faced. But in the twenty years since, the God of Thunder has undergone more than a few upgrades, and his odds against the last son of Krypton are better than ever.
