In brief, Thor wins because both he and Supes have comparable power-levels, however, many of Thor's abilities are very suited to exploit Superman's weaknesses.

Yeah...like magic.

Superman is still only a 'terrestrial'(I use the word loosely) hero though. Thor is brought in to fight the likes of Thanos, The Celestials, and other cosmic entities. His power is so incredible that there is not set way to describe his powers. He also uses one of Supes' two weaknesses...magic,and he's also been fighting for thousands of years so his combat prowess isn't even matched by the likes of Captain America or Wolverine. Is he as fast as superman in a fight? This is truly the only advantage Superman has over Thor, but when you have a area of effect attack that can drop a Celestial then I'm thinking you could drop Supes as well. Superman is very powerful yes, but Thor is unbeatable when he takes an opponent seriously and doesn't have some dimensional shift disease(Like when he fought Juggernaught.) Speaking of the fight with Juggernaught can Supes breathe in space(It's been awhile since I've read Superman comics and I don't know what his current power level is.)? If not then the same strat would work...transport Supes into deep space and game over.

Catacomb, that is definitely one of my two all-time favorite lines from Thor. The other was not quite so low key, though.

 

Way back when Count Nefaria first acquired his awesome super powers, he attacked and succeeded in defeating most of the Avengers, and planned to kill them while they lay unconscious. Suddenly lightning bolts erupt around him. The next panel is a panoramic view over Nefaria's shoulder of Thor, lightning blazing, cape swirling in the wind, face contorted in rage, hurling his hammer straight at the Count's face as he shouts: "THOU HAST DARED MUCH, VILLAIN... AND VERILY, THINE HOUR OF JUDGEMENT IS AT HAND!"

 

Probably the best Presence Attack I've ever seen - gave me goosebumps.

Yeah...cool...I soooo remember that one. You know, every time I see the Thor vs. Superman thread I think 'Yeah it would be close, until Supes pissed off Thor and then...'. Everyone seems to forget that there are two levels of Thor.

1) The Thor who plays with kid gloves and gives all mortals a chance to actually live against him.

2) The Thor who gets pissed, and I'm not talking 'I say thee nay' pissed. I'm talking when Crusher Creel had almost killed one of the Warriors Three pissed. I'm talkin Thor taking it to Thanos pissed. I'm talking Thor dismantleing Ultron pissed. The kind of angry I remember seeing in him maybe 10 or 11 times in comic history. Against that guy Supes is toast.

Anyway sorry to bring that thread here, but you had my blood pumping with pimpy Thor quotes.

When Thor finally lost his cool and patience with Ultron standing there backed by the rest of the Avengers framed by a hole in the wall he had just made and wearing battle tattered clothes...possibly my most favorite quote of all time. Thor says it in a calm even voice by the way.

'Ultron...we would have words with thee.'

HA! HA! Smack him down Ben...hehehehe

A flowchart is alwasy a good thing...not an outline, but a flowchart.

Always KA and always a body drain from my end.

My group loooovvveeess to jack with me so one night about a year and a half ago the actually wrote the word 'gullible' on the ceiling above my head and said it was there all night and I tried my damnedest not to look, but the problem was that it was actuallly there...punks.

Cat, it looks like we both posted a Star Wars rpg story. Anyway, I like your quote. How about putting your brother's name or just his rank and last name in the quote. I would love to use that sig on my emails.

 

Thanks,

Isn't from Champions, but my all-time Fav is from the old Star Wars by West End.

Pilot to the rest of the crew...'So jumping into Hyperspace is bad without a Nav computer right?'

So are you playing in the Forgotten Realms?

Do you allow called shots?

Drizzt can lay down a pretty impressive presence attack of his own though.

He should have a speed of 4 at least. You think buildin him in HERO was hard you should have seen how long it took for me to build him in RMSS. Much weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Which version are we talking about here? Remember after he fights Freiza we're talking about a guy that can easily blow up planets...lots of power there. Also we're talking about someone who moves soooooo fast that he can't be seen in a fight by normal human eyes, that's a little better than a 28 dex.

Yeah but if you play in a group tha is hung up on points then sometimes you have to Munchkin.

I never thought of Con that way but it's right on the money.

Charges are the ultimate tool of the munchkin. So are OIF...

They know it's there and yet can really do nothing about it.

Absolutely.

Hey Zara your avatar is one of the scariest things I've ever seen.

Diminished returns? Do you play Rolemaster?

We had a guy(uber-munchkin) that tried to get seperate disadvantage points for distinctive features from two different colored eyes.

I really hate Wizards...I mean really hate. I'm very glad that they lost the rights to L5R, too bad they still own the FR's.

A WF=everything should be pretty darn expensive though. Maybe the total of all known classes?

Even though pres attacks are a 0 phase action when one is done is it considered the last action of a phase like a normal attack?
