Adding the league is overkill.
Did those characters have complete control of the EM spectrum as well as cosmic awareness, and use them to emit the specific energy signature Supes is vulnerable to?
If not, that statement is immaterial.
Saying Supes has beaten characters more powerful than Surfer is a moot point given:
1) Not all characters have the same ability sets.
2) Not all characters are portrayed to use their abilities in the most tactically efficient manner. Case in point being a Green Lantern throwing punches at Deathstroke.
If the fight were a purely physical confrontation, Supes might have the edge, as in comic books it's more commonplace that fights are prone to deteriorating into fisticuffs (which makes for better visuals).
That's not an affliction here on the forum.
Surfer has the ability to not allow this fight to degrade into a physical confrontation. None of his opponents in this thread have anywhere near his level of ranged attack abilities or the ability to erect his league of forcefields and combat at the same time.
