ESPN's Superhero vs Supervillian AllStar Matches Remake - Superman VS Thor

In the next couple of weeks I will make a fight by fight of ESPN's matches and see if I agree with them
(ESPN placed Supes vs Bat and Luthor vs Joker)
This means today we get to start with Superman VS Thor
Superman (Kal-El/Clark Kent): Our "Last Son of Krypton", the "Man of Steel", te "Big Blue Boy Scout". He is an alien form the destroyed planet Krypton which orbited a red sun. Superman is powered by the light of our yellow sun, he is essentially a solar battery. His powers include heat vision, freezing breath, xray vision, one of the highest level of superhuman invulnerability, strength and toughness, flight, supersenses and superspeed.
Thor (Thor Odinson): The "God of Thunder", the protector of Asgard. Thor is a protector god of Asgard, he is son of Odin, the King of Gods, and Gaea, the Earth Godess. Thor posseses the finest build among all gods, he is said to have the most strength and toughness between them, he also has some yet unknown powers that came from her mother's heritage. He wields the magic hammer Mjolnir which grants the wearer the physical capabilities of a god, flight, energy absorbtion and other enchantments. Thor also gains control over the weather when holding Mjolnir. Mjolnir can not be wielded by those unworthy. It is important to note that Superman has wielded the hammer before, at least for a moment. (JLA vs Avengers)
But enough of the characters. 3.. 2.. 1.. FIGHT!
For the fight, I will place my 2 cents on the Big Blue. Why? Well, supes can surelly withstand the damage, Hell he can even withsand being inside a Red Sun with Kryptonite. Big S is also able to catch Mjolnir, and wield it for enough time to win.
I know the Mjolnir argument seems lame. Why would Supes be able to wield Mjolnir, he is not worth it? Many would argue it is a bad writer that made it possible. But then again Captain America, Spider-man, Wonder Woman, even Deadpool have wielded it. So why wouldn't Superman be worthy? He is a complete Boyscout, he is by D&D definition a Lawful Good, the Paladin by excellence of the DC Universe. I think it is a fair bet to think that if someone should be worth it, it should be him.
Another thing Superman has against Thor is his speed, which is unmatched except by speedsters. Superman with his superhuman strength and speed could knock out any oponent before they knew what hit them.
Wait for the next fight Green Lantern vs Aquaman.
