When it comes to Marvel superheroes defeating Superman, the answer isn’t a simple yes or no-it depends largely on the context, the writer, and the version of both characters involved. Superman’s power set is incredibly vast, with near-godlike strength, speed, invulnerability, heat vision, and other abilities fueled by a yellow sun. However, Marvel has several heroes who could potentially challenge or defeat him under the right circumstances.

Thor is often the first name that comes to mind. As Raoul Gaillard mentioned, Thor matches Superman in strength and speed and adds centuries of combat experience, magical energy, and divine power. Thor’s control over lightning and his enchanted hammer Mjolnir give him an edge, especially since Superman can be vulnerable to magic. In a prolonged fight, Thor’s magic could wear Superman down.

Another contender is the Hulk, particularly in his strongest incarnations like World Breaker Hulk. Hulk’s raw, escalating strength and near-immortality make it conceivable for him to overpower Superman if the fight drags out-though speed and skill may still be challenging.

Doctor Strange could be a game-changer with his mastery of magic and reality manipulation. Since Superman’s vulnerabilities include magic, Strange’s spells could incapacitate or at least weaken him long enough for others to finish the fight.

Finally, cosmic beings like the Silver Surfer or entities such as Galactus far outclass Superman’s power and can easily defeat him.

In summary, “can any Marvel superhero beat Superman?” The answer is yes, but only depending on which Marvel hero, the conditions of the battle, and the narrative context. It’s not a guaranteed victory, but certain Marvel characters certainly have the strength, magic, or cosmic power to stand a real chance or outright win.
