Well, the sun gives off energy over billions of years. Every second, solar energy is leaving the sun; however, more energy is created. Would you not agree that solar radiation is like normal radiation and is always immiting energy? Think about it, energy of the sun in one instance is not the same as energy that sun produces over 15,000. It's like the goose that lays the golden; if you kill it and take whatever is left inside the goose's stomach, that amount of golden egg is miniscule compared to the amount of eggs the goose can produce over a life time.
Secondly, Superman only needs the sunlight from thousands of miles away to power himself. You put him inside the Super Sun's core - for over 15,000 years, or 180,000 months, or 780,000 weeks, or 5,475,000 days, or 8,760,000 hours - he's gonna come out beyond his normal self.
Thirdly, normal Superman doesn't have that much solar energy in him does he? And yet he's on Thor's level. IT'S NOT THE SOLAR ENERGY, it's that his body reacts differently when exposed to yellow sunlight, giving him uncanny powers. If you think of it in terms of Prime just being the energy of 15,000 years of sunlight, your looking down the wrong road. Superman has always been an alien from Krypton, who gained super powers with his exposure to yellow sunlight, powers that put him on Thor, GL, MM's levels.
Thanos Vs. Superman - isn't Thanos vs. a small fraction of solar energy; it's Thanos Vs. Superman, who's = < Thor
Thanos Vs. Prime - isn't Thanos Vs. 15,000 years of solar energy; it's Thanos Vs. Prime, who's >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Superman or Thor
Don't think of Prime's powers as nothing but a small fraction of the sun. Because an even smaller fraction of energy from a SMALLER SUN gave Clark the power to become Superman. Would you regard normal Superman as nothing but a speck of energy from a yellow sun? If that's the case, Lobo, Orion, GL, Doomsday wouldn't get a knocked about by Supes punches.
YELLOW SUNLIGHT = calalyst for Kryptonians; a.k.a. their spinach.
