Ok Jesse, I just realized where the confusion regarding PIS came into play. In your intial post, you said that I might consider Supes high ended feats as PIS, and I stated using the term too for some dumbass reason or another. However, these are not PIS. PIS is an instance when a character doesn't preform as well as he should, not when a character does something that is more than he is capable. However PIS is not allowed in forum battles because it makes the character look less powerful than they really are. I'm sorry that I got upset about your not understanding that since I contributed to the initial confusion.
Now, that being said, I believe many of PC Supes that he gets on the fly powers ARE covered under SvFL, because powers that are almost never seen(meaning, more than once or twice) fall under that heading. So if he developed a power for one issue and then never used it again, it doesn't count. By the same token, he can't develope an anti-surfer eye blast just for the purposes of this fight. That's not my rule, that's the forum rule, and it's every bit as valid as the rule that states that the characters will fight to the best of their ability. Superman is bound by the rules to use only his standard abilities.
SvFL doesn't really cover PC Supes, it's more of Batman be unable to through a 6 feet of solid titanium, but then kicking Captain Marvel unconscious and knocking the magic out of him[a far tougher feat]. Or as the name suggests... Spiderman kicking around Firelord.
Most of Supes' 'invented powers' are just variations of his powers, or multiple of powers he had shown used in conjunction with another. Surfer would be at far more of a disadvantage than PC supes if we took away one time powers. He would just fly and shoot blasts mostly, lol.
