The fights just keep getting bigger. This feels like it could be the biggest fight possible. Superman gets flack for being overpowered but Thor should get the same treatment. He is literally a god. I've gone with Thor because Superman isn't invulnerable to magic. I'm rooting for Superman though so he can get matched up with Hulk later on, but the luck of the draw is not on his side.

I know Superman is going to win here, but Thor is my vote, as was said above Superman is vulnerable to Magic, Thor's lighting is Magic and if it came down to it he would just use the Godforce and no more Superman.

Superman would just edge it - because he's Superman and that's what he does

Superman's thing is that he always overcomes and always wins. So he wins this one.

I hate this argument. That's not a thing. Pretty much everybody in this tournament always overcomes and wins in the end. It's a story, they're the protagonists, that's kinda the point. We're not writing a story, we're looking at the possibility of a superhero fight objectively to see who would win. And I think Thor would win this one.
