I don't see what a Superman who was powered up by being right beside a sun (previous to that) has to do with regular Superman. I mean, Surfer destroyed a solar system plus when he was powered up, and no one brings up that.
Superman just came back from a trip to the sun (he was right beside it, and you could almost say he entered a portion of it) after taking down the Cannibal Planet, and was brimming with solar energy. Hell, you can even see it in the panel Avlon put up that he was a different color due to the solar energy.
How does one take down a Sun eater and still have energy left? Every one that has fought one has been drained. The Legion, Parallax, everyone. Superman happens to have left over solar energy?
Thanos ---- " It is a singularity-- blackhole-- brought about by Surfer's energy discharge."
Energy discharge = Energy blast.. Surfer's energy blast cause a singularity blackhole, similar to a massive sun going supernova which then undergoes into a singularity blackhole... So this energy discharge (blast) equals the strength of a supernova, the "Effect or catalyst" you are referring to..
They can measure a supenova,supes hv can't be measured,to be honest we probably won't ever see huge omg feats with supes heat vision he just doesn't like going around blowing everything up with it.
Likely. Quality of writing over quantity of uber feats in this case. If his HV energy is in excess of a supernova no reason why he can't destroy a planet with it.

SS has better depictions of energy porjectibility due to the nature of his character, however it's already been confirmed that Supes HV potency is beyond current scientific caculations:
It's a underestimated and frequently underatted power, but just like with SS's strength that is shown to rival savage hulk's power even inspite of underwhealming strength feats to suggest otherwise...it just isn't in Supes character to "destroy star systems".
Surfer wins. no contest here... superman fanboys aside, it's safe to say Superman's not even a blip on the radar in comparison to what Surfer's blasts can do.
