Only mjolnir is magical in nature not Thor himself. Superman is much faster and much stronger than thor he is also more resistant to damage.

So what you’re saying is that DC never gives a concrete reason for why he’s weak to Kryptonite and Magic in one issue and then resistant to it the next issue. DC just gives Superman random powers so he can keep up with other super heroes.
Thor and Superman are in the same realm of strength. Thor’s full strength has been considered incalculable and limitless! So don’t ever say Superman is stronger. I’ll give Superman the credit and say they are in the same realm of strength.
Superman can fly extremely fast, but when Thor uses his hammer, he flies at the minimum of the speed of light. So as fast as Superman flies, Thor will be right there to smack his ass down. Thor is also fast without the hammer. An Asgardian is faster than a normal human. And considering that Thor is best physical specimen in Asgard, he’ll run circles around people. There are examples of his speed without the hammer. I’ll find them.
Toughness: Thor. Superman is a pure bitch in this area. Thor has fought people bigger, stronger, and more durable without his hammer and find a way to win.
Skill: Thor. Elite warriors with centuries of battle experience. Hell, make that a millennium. Superman training for a month with Mongul Jr. doesn’t make him a bad ass.
Thor takes on more potent enemies than Superman does. Superman has enemies like Toyman and Metallo. When he does actually fight tough enemies like Darkseid, Mongul, Doomsday, or Braniac, they beat his ass. All of Thor’s enemies are on God level or extremely powerful like Juggernaut, The Wrecking Crew, and Absorbing Man. And the Incredible Hulk
Superman’s weaknesses are Magic, Red Sun, and Kyrptonite. Thor is beating his ass with Mjolnir and Superman dies
And the constant changing of powers is just bad writing and DC trying to keep up with current heroes. They’ve given Supes a force field(like Juggs and Invisible Woman), a healing factor(like wolverine), and the ability to learn languages and knowledge simply by touching or hearing it(I forgot who else can do this). Superman may use these powers in one issue, but in the next issue, he doesn’t have them.
Regular Thor beats Regular Superman to death.
