Alright, as stated on the previous page, the format for this 9 Feats of Strength collation is:
Description.
Story Title.
Source.
Writer.
Artist(s).
Where originally found in this thread, often under what tag.
Supplemental Wikia link, currently showing reference information, what cover of original comic book looks/looked like, and (in most cases) a synopsis of the story itself.
Feel I should comment on the above.
They're intended to be in ascending order of magnitude.
For instance, a Boeing jet, though it soars through the air, actually weighs several dozen tons. It would take a lot of force to stop it from falling, then steady it, then send it once more on a passenger-survivable flight path. But it is ultimately a plane, and therefore aerodynamic.
A line of fully loaded box cars, however, weighs more than a Boeing once you get beyond a certain number of cars, let alone when loaded with something as dense as water, even in snow form, and is not designed for ANY sort of aerial maneuvering.
The first vault (metal gate) rending feat speaks for itself. The second one becomes impressive when one reads exactly what Supermanium was. Even Kara's cousin, whose name eludes mention now, needed help from Mon-el to re-shape it after it's formation. But Kara, under stress, does it here almost as an after thought. So this feat outranks the first, even though the material she has to bend in the 2nd looks only about 10 inches thick, as opposed to perhaps 24 or so.
The Taj Mahal is a grand structure of a weight I do not remember.
I have no idea how much force it would take to lift it in comparison to launching an object at great velocity into space.
I give the car orbit launch the nod on the supposition that the car is launched very far very quickly and is only stopped from going further by its explosion. Plus, I really like seeing Kara do stuff as Linda Lee.
Actually that probably outweighs all else.
Earlier I reversed the relative ranking of these 2 feats.
But I honestly don't know how one should go about comparing things once they get THAT fantastic.
Even so, rounding off the last 3...
Islands are undersea mountains; often bigger than their terrestrial cousins. I give the mountain Kara set on Bizarroworld the nod because the writer has Kara emphasize how gigantic it is. Also she moves it with greater speed and ease than she shows in the Luthor episode.
As for the stomp, mountain movements are big, tectonic plate movements (i.e. the source of earthquakes) are bigger.
But, admittedly, again ... I'm partial to Linda Lee.
A final submission for the day (which ends here in Michigan in about 5 minutes)...
It was featured earlier as a Level 500 feat.
I used KMC as image host then, however, I want to feature it once more, this time as a picamatic link, because I think it highlights the advantage of greater size renditions.
KMC is limited to 250 KB.
Seems smallish when I try to post by those parameters for the following.
Some things just need space for bigger display to be appreciated.
I think this is one of those. Compare it to it's earlier version on page 4 and see if you agree...
Hmm. Now that I come to it again, let me correct a mistake I've been making. June Moone's alter ego is called Enchantress.
Not Enchantra.
------------
Random, mostly unrelated thought,
I should include a post or several that have distinctive phrases, natural for searchers to type in when they want to see images of our favorite heroine that will link them to this thread. It's maddening trying to find them otherwise. I remember how long it was after someone told me:
"Supergirl once moved Bizarroworld" before I stumbled upon that scene in Galan's P.C.K. thread. The guy that told me it existed did not remember specifics, nor the name of the story, what else it involved, or even the title of the magazine it appeared in (i.e. Action Comics, Adventure Comics, Superman Comics, Brave and the Bold, etcetera).
Hopefully, through the power of Google and the inclusion of logical "tags", my work here will begin to correct that sad situation...
