Well Cythonna did "good" vs Superman and Rao beat her after a prolonged fight. Superman beat her by BFRing her into the Sun and she couldn't escape so she wasn't too impressive (and neither was/is Rao if it took a prolonged fight to put her down).
Stops at Thanos.

Problem with Rao is that he has next to no feats outside of being the head deity of the Kryptonian theology and as such is attributed to various "feats" off panel such as creating life and the universe as we know it, which is par for the course for many deities in comics (almost every Pantheon has their own creationism myth/story, for example).
So, basically, if you believe word for word all the hype surrounding Rao and that he is a supreme being, you could argue him clearing simply based off of his apparent status alone.
Anyway, glad I could squeeze in a reasonable post before this thread likely gets devolved by the usual parties. Have fun!
Dunno apparently Superman being a mere demi-god many times removed descendent of his is enough to produce golden superman prime in DC 1 Mil. so not sure what that says about Rao other than he's a pretty fine craftsman.
yeah I think it happened in the sword of superman. Cytonna was slapping Clark around like nothing and had him almost frozen. I think the sun is like her kryptonite and this is why superman did so well against her.
Her punches were little more than a minor inconvenience for Supes-- he wasn't even scratched by her melee(s), and was never down for any length of time. Like I said above, most of his rogues have done a LOT better.
That said, Cyth, while minorly impressive, certainly wasn't that great, all things considered. Tbh, I'd put her on the lower end of the power tier where Superman's rogues are concerned. She just didn't do much to him.
Okay, even if we ignore the lack of visible injuries, the fact still remains that Cyth was using every power at her disposal (ie. telepathy, physicality, and exotic ice powers) simultaneously against Supes, and still couldn't down him for any length of time. Most of Superman's rogues have caused him a lot more damage than that, so why should she impress me more than any of them? Is it because Superman stated that she struck him as hard as he'd ever been hit? He's said that about several characters over the years...

Sorry for my lack of awe. /shrug
She appeared in a single issue: Superman - The Last God of Krypton
That's one of the most horrendus leap of logic I've ever seen. Which of those guys can backhand superman away like a bug? Which of them have been compared to PC kryptonians? This is the real PC superboy vs superman, notice the lack of blood and scratches and tell me he's weaker than konvikt
