But Superman has the best combination of all of these abilities plus many more besides.
And I'm talking POST-Crisis Superman.
Pre-crisis he was far far far more powerful...
hulk strongest? Isn't Thor (with hammer) much stronger ....i thought in a comic Thor and hulk went at it and Thor was kicking Hulks ass until he lost his hammer..than the hulk could finally beat him but just marginally
I saw a thread off of Google last year that puts Supes' strength in perspective. Supes performs some feat like, lifting up an ocean liner from one end. Well, even if you had the strength to lift the weight, you couldn't lift it at any spot without it collapsing around you, like the stern of the Titanic eventually snapping off and falling. Somehow, you have to borrow the will of the object.
John Byrne showed this in his first issue of Superman in 1986. Pushing a small plane of earth into outer space, he notes to himself "when I started flying, the weight disappeared. I seem to fly objects the way I fly myself: by sheer force of will." This makes me think much of his strength is psionic, except he can't move an object from afar like Jean Grey; he has to make contact with it. So, if he's moved planets in the past, that's how he does it. I'd make a difference between strength and striking/punching power; Thor and Hulk are on a par with him there, maybe even better.
On a different topic: How long would he have to go without Yellow Sun radiation before his powers begin fading? Some Kevin Smith issues of Green Arrow showed the world covered from the sun, and Supes feeling cold for the first time.

"lol 100 trillions tons let me laught
Superman's Vital statistics
Maximum Bench Press: 250,000 tons
Maximum Speed: 60,000 mph (flight – atmosphere), 300,000,000 mph (flight – space), 30,000 mph (running)

Not the comics. Why you always use sites and handbooks ?

Superman strenght isent unlimited no. Otherwise he would need no boost to move Warworld.
And let go the numbers. He was matched by Thor alone. Was matched by Hulk before. How the heck is he going to lift more than all the strongest heroes combined.
You people exageratte to the bone.
superman the strongest!!!!
Remember SUPERMAN IV AND SUPERMAN THE MOVIE? On the first movie he altered the earths axis so it could turn the time backwards then he spinned the earth back again. Then on the fourth movie he pushed the moon to block the sun creating a total eclipse. So has any other superhero ever did that or could do that? Use your imagination people...ask yourself again how fast can superman have to fly in order to spin the earth backwards and then back, and could push the moon so it could block the sun. DUH!
In Superman: the movie he didn't move the earth he just went faster then the speed of light and broke the time barriar.
And in Superman 4 the strength needed to move the moon is 16.2 quadrillion tons.

"How long would he have to go without Yellow Sun radiation before his powers begin fading?"
In the new Superman man of steel vol. 4 he says even in complete darkness it would take days for his powers to start to fade.
I have another question does anyone know the limits of the new all-star Superman.

Think about it. How does spinning a planet in reverse( not even getting into the destructive results it causes on the surface) make time go backwards. IT DOESN'T. That was just a visual way of showing the audience time travel. And don't think too much about how far he goes back - he went far enough to prevent the errant missles hitting anything, right? So why is Lois Lane stuck in the desert after the gas station blows up after the earthquake, caused by the second missle?? (The Filmmakers: OOPS.)
As for moving the moon, see my earlier post about his strength.
And try to keep facts about any character, coming from the comics only.

As this is probably the only mature response that has been said on this thread, its definately worth a response. Its also matter im quite confused about.
As you stated most of the heavy objects that Superman lifts, should actually be impossible levitate. Byrne's theory would explain alot, E.G. especially with Super boy's T.K. tie in. Yet it doesn't really explain how characters like Wonder Woman, Captain Marvel and M.M. are able to lift similar objects. I think its a great idea yet i wish it was more consistent.

Pfffff Hercules can lift 1967.87905.000.00 billion of tons.
To heck with the numbers.

✅ Exactly
superman's limts
right now he is almost back to pre crisis level because ritgh now he no longer needs air in space, can see the other side of the universe with his own power, can identify different strands of dna, heat vision has basicaly no limits as was shown not too long ago, can move way faster than speed of light right now because in the last issue of jla elite batman stated there that he can fly to the sun and be back in less than a minute and this comic came out about four months ago, he can see peoples souls and gohsts, he can red peoples thoghts as was shown in jla/cyberforce, the last thing that was said was that if wanted a sneeze from him can split the earth in half and this issue came out in august of adventures. so as you can see the man of steel is becoming more and more into his godly self again.

How old are you as you seem older than a juniour member.
He isn't faster than Flash which means his speed is limited and his strength is unlimited.He can lift about 100 trillion tons.No superhero can lift that much.Even if you combined all the other hero's strength(including Marvel superheroes),that still wouldn't be as much as 100 trillion tons.Superman is basically unbeatable if you aren't going to use kryptonite or magic against him.Doomsday didn't even kill him so nobody has a real chance.If you can't face Superman without kryptonite,you must be weak,.Take Lex for instance,everytime he faces Superman he has a kryptonite ring on.That's pathetic and weak when you think about it.Also,Superman is immortal and can't die at all unless he's exposed to kryptonite or magic.I heard somewhere that in 800,000 thousand years he will become so powerful that he will be able to restore Krypton and everyone that was on the planet when it exploded.He's like a 6'4 225 pound solar battery.I think that if he lives forever on Earth as soon as he goes to Krypton he'd die of old age unless you can live a very long life on Krypton seeing how they are thousands of years ahead of us.Superman can do anything and he can he can get any lady he wants if he uses his charm.He could have taken over the world but he didn't.In Smallville Jor-El wants Clark to conquer the world but I think it was just a test though.Yep,that's just about everything I know about his limits and abilities.-posted by Zod 4life.
Dude, theres' so much BS in this post, its ridiculous.
Superman is unbeatable?Gee, somebody forgot to tell that to amazo, mongul, and the many others that have knocked his ass out.
Nobody can lift as much as superman? again iwth the ignorance, well guess what gladiator can, hulk can,classic he-man can, one version of grundy can, and there are about 20 others who can.
Superman is immortal? No he can die. He can die.
You are weak if you have to face him with krptonite?
Hmm, I don't remember anywhere there said that people like lex luthor have solar-charged superpowers. Of course lex has to have kryptonite or something, its called making an unfair fight alittle more fair.
Lex can't even lift 200 lbs,gets hurts by a trip and fall, and is only a regular(not even condictioned) human, and you expect him to wlak up to a superpowered 6'2 225 lbs mass of "near" unstoppableness and say " Ay, Supes put your dukes up, so I can punch your face."
Dude, I hate to try to clown you ,but please, don't ever post dumbass shit like that again.
Originally posted by olympianHercules, Thor and Hulk alone are a match strenghtwise for Supes. Confident Glads as well.
Superman's strength is well, nearly unlimited, he's moved a planet, none of the others have I believe.
