Blue is above Zod. I'm constantly seeing Zod on the receiving end of hard ass kickings. Adam has yet to be ripped on like that, and yet he has been consistently low balled since his 1st appearance with very few low showings.
Adam is a high herald. He simply has less showings. But, he has great endurance unlike Zod who often enough, wakes after having his KO'd head shoved into cement. Zod, Gladiator, and King Hyperion narratively speaking, stand neck and neck. Adam was written to trounce this level of opposition. Was King Hyperion weakened? He put decent damage on the Juggernaut. Outside of his fights with Kal, which are chock full of goodies within themselves (namely Superman's character), Zod is pretty squishy when confronted by true heavyweights. Adam at his serious focused best, would beat the shit out of Zod. Superman may win, but Hal would have an extremely tough fight that could go either way.

Although shared, him and Sinestro combined their blasts to create an explosion that lit up the solar system and sent them flying from the Earth's system to Oa pretty quickly. I only saw a scan(and not sure if him taken over by technology had to do with it) but he created a wormhole. Also destroyed a continent, though that pales compared to the previously mentioned. In his MOSAIC series he raised huge mounds of dirt throughout Oa to create walls to keep the thousands of cities (I think it was at least one in every galaxy patroled by GLs) and reinforced them with his energy for days, it eventually breaking after it was sustaining fire from several of the cities because they wanted to go back to killing each other. He casually contained Martian Manhunter in a construct, IIRC beat Wonder Woman off panel(she was restrained, I think it was John) and his auto-shields protected him from anti-matter and a supernova.
