Some people seem to be confused as to how Superman 1M, and the rest of the Dynasty were being powered, I thought it was obvious.
They were powered by the Super-Sun of their time. Thats why when S1M went back to the past, even though he was still under a yellow Sun, he was still losing his powers.
Superman Prime made it so the Dynasty would have these massive powers, but only under the Super-Sun which Prime empowered.
So IMO Supes Prime wasn't just chillin in the Sun, and every time a new Superman popped up he said "ok time to power that guy up!".
Once the new Superman was born, the Super-Sun gave them their powers, just as the regular Sun gave to our Superman, but to a much greater degree.
I wasn't very impressed by Solaris, honestly. I don't quite put him at Galactus level because I think Galactus would defeat him pretty soundly (Solaris was simply a living sun. Galactus>>>Sun, and Galactus is a better energy manipulator).
The reason he was able to run through so many Supermen is because Solaris is a living sun and could manipulate his energies to create radiation wavelengths that were fatal to them (iirc). It stands to reason that a sentient sun would be able to do that given the fact that all Supermen, regardless of what time period, are solar powered.
It's like if the Oan Power Battery became sentient and turned on the Green Lanterns Corps.
Keep in mind that Solaris did try and wipe out the earth several times and was driven back, similar to Galactus. In those ways they are similar as well. Go through the one million respect thread, it shows him driven back several times by different versions of Superman. He even tried to sit at the edge of the solar system and bombard Earth with harmful radiation, and still failed.
Right, Solaris was driven back numerous times by members of the House of EL, but we know that not even the JLA 1M was capable of defeating Solaris, because.......well....... They said so.
I'm still leaning towards Solaris being around the hungry/average powered Galactus.

can't see the scan because of the filter at work. i assume it's the one where doom is looking at the foundations of reality or something. the ones from secret wars.
if its the first scan, he has BEYONDER'S POWERS, not galactus's. if it's the one where his senses are enhanced . . . whoopty-doo . . . the heroes defied galactus in secret wars. he absorbed his ship and would have been able to wipe them out.
solaris could have wtfpwn'd that group of heroes effortlessly. superman 1M could prolly take out that entire group of heroes.
