Here is a unposted strength feat.
In Superman: The Earth Stealers, Superman propelled a massive space station, cylindrical in shape and stated to be 600 miles in diameter (the length of the cylinder, judging by the depiction, had to have been about 2500 miles ) by pushing against it. The weight was inestimable- it was constructed from all the natural resources gleaned from an entire solar system. A hyperspace portal was opened and Superman not only pushed it, he propelled it for 20 minutes through hyperspace (it was stated that they reached the halfway point at 10 minutes). He had to exert the power to move it at the same time that he had to deal with the stresses of hyperspace unprotected. Note that the space station was also towing both the Earth and the Moon in a stasis field, however, I do not factor this weight into the feat as Superman himself theorized that the stasis field was neutralizing the planet?s mass. Hence he merely resisted the space station?s weight, not the Earth and Moon?s. It wasn't clear or not but Supes may or may not have been towing the Earth and the Moon. But it was clear he was pushing the giant ship.

A LIST OF FEATS ... MORE COMING UP..Strength and Movement Power:
Man of Steel #30: Standing on Earth’s surface, Superman punched Lobo into orbit and beyond with one uppercut.
Nuclear Submarines: These typically weigh between 10,000 and 20,000 tons. In Adventures of Superman #599, Superman raised a Russian nuclear submarine from the ocean floor (swamped with water as it was, it must have weighed more).
In Superman For All Seasons, book two, he casually held a nuclear submarine overhead with one hand.
Adventure of Superman #473: From Earth, Superman threw an alien space craft clear of Earth’s gravity and into outer space. This craft was larger than an aircraft carrier and over a mile long (a typical aircraft carrier is about a 1/4 of a mile long and weighs about 100,000 tons, so this ship was about 4x that size).
In Man of Steel #131, after taking a hit from a nuke (while sitting in kryptonite), Superman vortexed the thousands of tons of radioactive debris into the upper atmosphere by spinning around the debris at high speeds. He then used his heat vision to fuse and condense the debris into one very dense lump, then casually tossed the lump into the sun (distance: 93 million miles). After kryptonite, no less.
Action Comics # 585: Superman muscled overhead a magically animated mountain, not quite big enough to "crush Metropolis with one step." He achieved flight with it and flew the chunk of earth into outer space. Once there, he tossed the mountain into orbit around the sun.
Action Comics # 793: Superman plugged up an active volcano by very casually dropping a mountain on top of it.
Justice League of America (old series) # 65 (early nineties): Embedded in the core of the planet Almerac, Superman dug free through countless tons of rock all the way to the planet’s surface. This was after Starbreaker had drained nearly all of Superman’s power. In another storyline, Superman circumnavigated the Earth's surface by burrowing 20,000 miles through the Earth's crust in an hour.
In Action Comics #762, Lois asked Superman to not bring her another hand-forged diamond (by squeezing a lump of coal) for Christmas this year.
In Wonder Woman #175, Superman broke Wonder Woman's forearm by squeezing it through her indestructible bracelet. WW also admitted that her bracelet - forged by Hephaestus, blacksmith for the Gods and magically enchanted to be indestructible - would eventually break from Superman's blows.
JLA: World War Three story-line: Superman was chained to the "endless millwheels" of the Mageddon machinery. His strength was used to move the gears of a weapon whose size dwarfed the entire Earth/Moon system.
In Superman: The Earth Stealers, Superman propelled a massive space station, cylindrical in shape and stated to be 600 miles in diameter (the length of the cylinder, judging by the depiction, had to have been about 2500 miles) by pushing against it. The weight was inestimable- it was constructed from all the natural resources gleaned from an entire solar system. A hyperspace portal was opened and Superman not only pushed it, he propelled it for 20 minutes through hyperspace (it was stated that they reached the halfway point at 10 minutes). He had to exert the power to move it at the same time that he had to deal with the environment of hyperspace unprotected. Note that the space station was also towing both the Earth and the Moon in a stasis field, however, I do not factor this weight into the feat as Superman himself theorized that the stasis field was neutralizing the planet’s mass. Hence he merely resisted the space station’s weight, not the Earth and Moon’s.
Several events show Superman as a moon-mover. In JLA # 7, as Electro-Superman, he halted the fall of the Moon towards Earth (caused by Neron’s magical machinations), then moved the Moon back its proper position in orbit. He later commented that he's more powerful as "regular" Superman. Writer Grant Morrison and artist Howard Porter had originally intended the moon-moving event in JLA #7 to be done by "regular" Superman, but DC forced them to use Electro-Supes in order to stay current with events in the Superman comics at that time. This event is butressed by several more. In JLA: The Century War, ancient "alchemical engines" were causing the moon to fall towards the Earth. Superman and Green Lantern took turns holding the moon back against the "geometrically increasing force" that was causing it to fall. Superman alone got the last "moon-bracing" shift. In Superman Man of Steel #30, Superman grabbed, easily broke the forward movement of, and easily threw in the opposite direction, a space ship the size of a small moon. In JLA # 58, Superman, Wonder Woman and Green Lantern collaborated to tow Earth’s moon a distance of 238,900 miles in mere seconds, indicating a fantastic acceleration, and then pulled the moon out of Earth's gravity (which increases its weight tremendously). As he is universally regarded as the JLA’s most powerful member, I’m inclined to give Superman more than one-third, and perhaps as much as one-half, the work effort.
In the Lex 2000 special, with a single strike, Superman split one of Saturn’s moons in half. Saturn’s moons are small moons.
In JLA #75, Superman, Wonder Woman, and Martian Manhunter, combined their efforts to tow the Earth an undisclosed distance. Following the same logic as above, I give Superman about half the work effort. This was immediately after the entire JLA (including Superman) had been resurrected from the dead, and had only several minutes to recover their strength.
In Action Comics #797, Superman referred to himself as an unqualified planet mover twice. "Superman can move the Earth"; he says of himself ; later he refers to having "pushed a planet out of orbit" (presumably this refers to his moving of WarWorld in Action Comics #782 - see just below).
In Man of Tomorrow #13, it took the combined effort of Martian Manhunter, Big Barda, Steel, Supergirl, and Wonder Woman to physically restrain Superman. They dogpiled him, but admitted, "we can't hold him for long!".
Action Comics Annual #7: Fighting in space, Superman successfully resisted the pull from a black hole that had opened up directly below (inches from) his feet. The miniature black hole had been induced by advanced alien (Ht’ros) war technology.
Action Comics #782: After plunging into the core of the sun, Superman, energized beyond usual, physically pushed WarWorld, (a small, Pluto-sized planet) across the solar system and into a boom tube. WarWorld did engage a "full throttle countermeasure" in resistance Superman’s push. We can see WarWorld’s engines (which encompass nearly an entire hemisphere of WarWorld’s surface) firing in resistance, to no avail. WarWorlds’ engines allow WarWorld to travel at faster than light speeds through space; they generate the power to accelerate a planet beyond light speed. "How is he moving my planet! The Kryptonian does not have that power!" Braniac’s disbelief is reasonable since WarWorld’s engines had no fuel shortage ; WarWorld had just pirated the energy of Imperiex - energy gleaned from the devouring of many galaxies. (Hence Imperiex’s reputation as the "Devourer of Galaxies."😉
Not canon: In Kingdom Come #3, Superman drilled through the Earth's diameter (he entered the planet in Asia and came out in Gotham City, America) in seconds flat.

so when superman got his heart ripped out, how did he manage to continue putting up a fight?shows a lot of willpower... well heck loads to do anything else after losing a vital organ
Thats hokey as hell. If we could fight on without a heart, then it wouldn't be the heart.

Take your bitchmade marvel loving hateration elsewhere.
Nah.
Not hating, just pondering the logic of one surviving without the heart, is all.
Cuz, the meaning of heart, is the centerpiece, the most necessary piece.
If you can operate without it, then it's obviously not that necessary.
And before anybody comes in and calls me a Surfer fanboy who wouldn't question it if Surfer operated without organs.......well, then i'd say i don't think the Surfer has organs.
He is a piece of the PC come to life.
There is no comparison.
O/T - Vally, you should join up at herochat. You might get gl some new fans.
And add a sense of balance to a clearly Marvel slanted forum.

Nah seriously, I'd probably get flamed off the forum as soon as I tried to say Surfer/GL is a close fight.
Supes shows his bad@ss handspeed here. He was vibrating his hands so fast he shattered Cyborg Superman to pieces.

And rightly you should be. Surfer gl a close fight??
For shame at your bias!! 🙄
Nah, but really, join up. Don't be cautious cause of a likely flaming. Unless you're secretly a sensitive man??
Other than Astro, Tazer and GreEnergy, GL is highly underrated over there.
I'm going to try, but i don't have the catalogue that you probably do, and Surfer is pretty overrated over there. We need more people!!
And the only reason that it seems like a long thor/superman debate, is due to the fact that damn near every thread somehow revolves around Superman when Jelly pieces out his knowledge.
