Simply put there are no scans that show him doing anything that is really uber (apart from, say, crushing the living sun Solaris in one panel).
The thing about Superman Prime that makes him an 'utter beast,' to use your words, is that he was written in JLA One Million as the most powerful Superman .....ever.
For that matter as the most powerful character ever.
When he arrives from his wanderings in outer space he is already described as having powers that are beyond those of any other being by far.
And this was before he spent a millenium in the heart of the sun.
Add to this that he made a covenant with the future supermen, whereby he would augment their strengths.
Now, take Superman One Million ....his already great powers were greatly enhanced by Superman Prime through the covenant, and it is interesting to note how powerful Superman One Million (from hereon SM1M) is .....the guy, for example, managed to PUNCH through time to 85,000 years in the future ....even when he was so drained of energy that he was dying and had aged into an old man.
Thus, add all of the above together:
- When Superman Prime comes from space he is said to have powers beyond all other beings.
- This is before he spends a thousand years chilling in the core of the sun (and you know what a brief solar dip does to 'normal' Superman ....now imagine a millenium long solar BATH by a character already said to be the most powerful of all).
- Then note just how powerful a character like SM1M, who has his abilities augmented by Superman Prime, is even when he is operating at zero (the example of him punching 85,000 years into the future while drained).
Obviously the picture of Superman Prime being a beast of beasts emerges.
Add to this the last ring of the Green Lanterns.
Anyways, if you are expecting a list of scans showing the Prime Superman extinguishing supernovae and giving birth to multiverses .....there is none of that.
The only scans of any worth would probably be the one of him smashing Solaris like it was nothing, and maybe the whole bringing Lois back to life.
Nothing else.
But based on how he is written his power levels kiss the stratosphere.
