ah, pre-c supes . . . my favourite, and the being who made me love comics to begin with. found these couple gems on a website somewhere - the first is my favourite!<<In 1949 he [superman] has single-handedly created a sun for the Planet Uuz by crashing together its two uninhabited moons and then fueling the resultant atomic blaze with drifting meteors.>>
HA!!
<<In March 1965 Superman seizes a spacecraft manned by members of the Superman Revenge Squad and hurls it into a far distant galaxy light-years away from Earth.>>
he has also travelled back in time with his speed and taken pictures of things before they've happened! he was basically invulnerable to almost every form of attack. but the inconsistency has been in evidence as well. but the thing you need to remember - he NEEDED to be inconsistent at times, or else he would simply win every battle without a struggle. a couple of his best powers i remember from when i was a kid - super ventriloquism!! that was GREAT!! and super hypnotism!! man, pre-c supes was AWESOME!!! (he had super everything!)
jack kirby called him 'invincible'. at the end of crisis, pre-c supes fought the antimonitor ONE-ON-ONE for a prolonged period of time, hurling moons at him! and after darkseid hit AM with the OE, all that was left was the AM's energy that still wouldn't die so supes PUNCHES IT and demolishes it forever!! inconsistent yes, but damn he was powerful. and there were a number of reasons supes and cm had close battles, some related to sales and popularity, but a lot was 'behind the scenes' stuff that ensured close fights. a fantastic history exists between the 2 characters.
anyway, if this battle were actually written 30 years ago, pre-c supes would put up a massive fight alone. together they would take g almost certainly. if pre-c supes were written in this fight TODAY, it's questionable. the bullsh** that was acceptable back then, wouldn't fly today, but i say supes throws a few moons at him, then, when g is stunned, he throws his voice. when a staggered g looks back, everyone hits him at once and the battle is over.

You apparently don't know how powerful Galactus is.
A weak Galactus easily defeated Marvel Earth and all its heroes.
A full power Galactus shield will be unbreakable, and a galaxy destroying attack well, every one go bye bye.
Pre Crisis please, why only take the high? He has trouble with much simple shit like Monkeys, CM in the pre crisis day.
