I quite agree. This harkens back to a 19th century idea of lifting something heavy (all that was missing was Supes having a big handlebar moustache). They could have had him pulling away from an event horizon, anything which would've acknowledged our current knowledge of physics, if not something more star-trekian.And to even say a quintillion tons: sounds like something a kid would say. Better: "Superman, you are now lifting the equivalent of half an Earth mass." or something like this.
Very good post ! as usual mister Mindsip ! 🙂

Guys, calm down. It wasn't that outrageous. We all need to remember that Superman was super charged because of a Sun dip. His strength trippled as a matter of fact. Regular AS Supes only lifts around a mere 66 quintillion tons.See, it's not so bad.

Touche !!!!!!!! Monsieur Cynical
I love how a side-comment from one panel is taking up the entire discussion in complete disreguard to the story itself. :rolleyez:
AS Superman is its own comic book. It can play by its own rules. As long as the story is good (and Morrison's never let me down yet), I don't care if Superman sucks up the sun and farts out a quintillion hydrogen explosions. It's a STORY, not more stat-fodder for your next "Superman in a Kryptonite noose vs Thing" topic.
As for its scientific credibility.... if you care that much, why are you reading a Superman comic book? Oh, that's right, you didn't read it at all, you heard about one offhanded comment from a single panel and decided you knew everything about the comic from that, way to go....

You where in bottom set science weren't you ? Awwwww is this all a bit hard for you to understand ? You just like all the bright pictures don't you ? 🙂
