Thor>Superman

 

[wanamingo]

I would have to agree with John. Especially when you look at the original superman, he could still be shot and killed, he literally couldnt fly. Thor has always been a flying, lightning wielding hammer God.

 

[riser]

You guys are both wrong. If you look up the Superman Vs Thor, they have Superman coming out as the winner.

(Yeah, I didn't know they actually did that)

Superman has superspeed which Thor lacks. That's a major advantage. But it was Superman would have to hit Thor 3 to 1 to win.

Like all Asgardians, Thor is not truly immortal but relies upon periodic consumption of the Golden Apples of Idunn to sustain his extended lifespan, which to date has lasted many millennia. Being the son of Odin and the elder goddess Gaea, Thor is physically the strongest of the Asgardians. If pressed in battle, Thor is also capable of entering into a state known as the "Warrior's Madness" ("berserkergang" in Norwegian), which will temporarily increase his strength and stamina tenfold, although in this state he attacks friend and foe alike.

Thor possesses a very high resistance to physical injury that approaches invulnerability.Thor also possesses keen senses that allows him to track objects traveling faster than light and hear cries from the other side of the planet.Thor has the ability to travel through time.His stamina allowed him to battle the entire Frost Giant army for nine months without any sustenance or rest;Thor has also shown the ability to regenerate wounded portions of his body, including entire limbs or organs, with the aid of magical forces like Mjolnir, Thor has superhuman speed, agility, and reflexes, enabling him to deflect bullets with his hammer.Like all Asgardians he has immunity to all Earthly diseases and some resistance to magic. However, exceptionally powerful magic can overwhelm Odin's enchantment that transforms him between Asgardian and mortal forms

Thor has more stamina than superman too, Superman has to recharge his solar cells every 20 minutes.

Thor has superhumans speed, sure.. compared to a human. Superman is far faster and relies on the sun for his recharge.

Superman wins.

lol why does Thor weigh 640 lbs? Ill have to track down the comic, but there may have been some interference with Martian Manhunter...... But supes did lift the Hammer which I thought only the Hulk could do, and one time I think I read a deadpool comic where he lifts the hammer.

Im not sure how fast superman could be since I guess Thor can see faster than light..... which maybe he is some sort of time lord? But if time travel is one of his skills I would Imagine that superman's adoptive parents would have been very surprised when they see his ship crash land and then Thor takes his hammer to an infant Clark Kent..... THOU SHALT FEEL THY HAMMER KRYPTONIAN! FWACK!

To keep this somewhat topical are there any Islamic superheroes? Is there a comic industry in Iran?

The contradictions within both books leads to the logical reasoning that they were written by groups of people and altered throughout the centuries. Unless you were there when it happened your just taking the word of someone else as truth. If the universe is expanding then at one point it was smaller, much smaller. Giving credibility to the big bang theory. Why do neither of these books address this? Why do neither of the books address the fact that evidence points to multiple supernovas leading up to the formation of our planets? Why do neither of the books address supermassive black holes being the generators for galaxies? There are holes and contradictions within the books, not being able to see this is pure ignorance. I am not saying there isn't something to be gained by reading either of the books but when it comes to being pristine unaltered works of God I can't help but laugh.

Ah, but Qur'anic contradictions and inconsistencies are handled by abrogation. Later passages have the effect of cancelling earlier passages.

And then, you need to consider that Mohammed was illiterate. He had no direct way of checking the accuracy of what the scribes wrote.

And look at the hard science (chemistry and physics) Nobel Prizes:
Muslims (about 20% of the world population) - 3, and they did their work in the West.
Jews (about .2% of the world population) - 84.

The "scientific" Muslims also believe that the djinn live in your nasals passages when you sleep. And sorcery and black magic are capital crimes.

If the Muslims were so scientifically advanced back then, what happened?

My POV is, Islam is just emerging from its dark ages, if you will.
And is why theres so much turmoil within itself, as the old guard fight to hold onto things that show it cant work, where the rest of Islam embraces the more pertinent messages of worship, but also of love

 

[Reynod]

I support your optimism ...

I'm still with superman vs the rest though ... call me old school.

As for Islamic literature I am afraid I am more interested in the Rubyait of Omar Khayam (Ahura Mazda) or the various Indian transcripts which are much more positive approaches to a useful religion ... one with decent moral values.

I am afraid Islam is too violent for me, and women are treated as cattle and slaves.

 

[jsc]

Not exactly an honor, but it is permissible.

Evasion is also permissible. And "lying by omission" is an alien concept to Muslims. I have had that conversation with my Saudi counterparts. They see nothing wrong with leaving out things. After all, it is not Khalid's fault if Abdullah does not ask him the proper questions.

 

[Reynod]

Yes I have had a case of this with regard to non payment of fees for contracts with a company in Qatar ... they still owe us money.

Won't deal with them again.

Dealing with BHP, Rio Tinto, Woodside, Chevron ... entirely different ... very honest companies ... tough but honest.
