Superman vs. Thor: Fanboy Faceoff!

It looks like many of you just can't get enough of the eternal battle between Marvel and DC. Today arguably two of the strongest characters each has to offer - Superman and Thor - go head to head in the latest Fanboy Faceoff!

When you think superheroes, the person that probably comes to mind most is Superman. First appearing in 1938, Superman is credited with popularizing comics and has been an iconic symbol of truth and justice ever since. With his origins beginning on the planet Krypton, Superman gains his powers from exposure to the Earth's yellow sun. His powers are virtually unlimited and include flight, superhuman strength, speed and stamina. He can also see with x-ray vision, shoot heat rays from his eyes and blow air at freezing temperatures. If all that weren't enough, his body is powerful enough to withstand the blast of a nuclear explosion. Though virtually invulnerable, Superman does have one huge weakness - Kryptonite. Exposure to green Kryptonite not only takes away his super powers, but prolonged exposure will eventually kill him, making him ultimately mortal.

Like Superman, Thor, known as the God of Thunder, possesses superhuman strength, speed and stamina. He has the ability to fly using his magical hammer, Mjolnir which he also uses to deflect projectiles and smash his foes. He also has the ability to summon the elements like lightning, rain and wind. He is a skilled warrior and the strongest of all the Asgardians. He too has a high resistance to physical injury and is virtually invulnerable. Unlike Superman though, he has no direct weakness, though is vulnerable to extremely powerful magic.

With two such equally matched opponents this should definitely be a tough faceoff. Obviously if Thor is able to get his hands on some Kryptonite, there's really no contest, but what if that wasn't an option? Who do you think would win if the battle was fought on even ground?
