You do know that Supergirl is older than Clark right??
And that when they first met, she handed him his ass??
So much so that he was reduced to wearing a kryptonite ring to beat her?
I'd say they're near even, with a slight edge to him.
With the other two here, as PG is more powerful while near Supergirl its like this......
Superman = 5.0 in stats
Supergirl = 4.5 in stats
PowerGirl = 2.5 in stats normally, but while near Supergirl = 4.25 in stats
Superboy = 3.75 in stats
(These are just estimates people)
With those numbers against him, do you really think he can just stomp the team like that??
And matt, physiques don't matter here.
All that matters is the power that lies within them.
Physiques only matter if they were normal average humans.

I've expressed my concerns about Borg and Erads but the truth remains.... Borg is far more advanced kryptonian tech that Eradicator is. As much as I like AMD processors, I wouldn't argue that a K6-2 would compete with a P4. Borg has beat him enough (and easily) enough times where even I have to admit that he's Superior.Henshaw may be more diverse than Superman, but he lost to him in that same arc.
You've said before that Eradicator is Superman + Silver Surfer so how could he logically be under Superman?
Does anyone know about how old Power Girl is suppose to be? She's been around for a while so I don't know if Superman has that much of an experience advantage compared to her. Superboy has been part of at least two superhero teams I can think of as well as being solo. Even Supergirl already has a year of experience as a superhero and amazon training. Together they should be able to put up a decent fight against him.

In all honesty, together they should beat his ass.

We both know that Supes has beaten characters with powersets far more diverse than his own due to being the brick that he is.

That isn't what I asked you. Do you think Superman should logically one up Eradicator everytime they fight? All that does is make him look like a joke and definitely doesn't do much for anyone claiming he's Superman + the Surfer.
Logic is thrown out the window in comics.
But for the record, imo, heroes with more powers should always look superior to other heroes as long as its certain they are more powerful.
No matter the politics/ character shielding.
Example - I don't mind Superman beating darky, as long as theres a hell of a plot device/stipulation in play somewhere.
Ie, Darkseid is weak, cuz his flo is heavy....Or something like that.
But when Eradicator and Superman fight Darky together, Eradicator should easily have the better showing.
Not Erad falls, and Superman triumphs simply because he's superman.
That hurts both Darky and Eradicator, and lowers their stock, while Supermans stagnates, rather than raises, though thats obviously what the writer hoped for. Hence the jobber aura label.
You won't ever see Thunderstrike do more damage to Surter than Thor, cuz that makes no sense.
But it is likely that you will see Superman do more damage to Darkseid than Erad, though Eradicator is clearly more powerful.
Character shielding is at play there obviously.
Sometimes the books of the less popular make more sense than the ones that are protected.
Cuz they have less on the line, and don't have to worry about icons losing luster.

Logically, No I don't....just like I think SS shouldn't be losing to Thanos...unfortunately comics ignore all that and set bricks to be #1.
If we went logically then nobody under skyfather should have a prayer against a halfway decent GL.
Character 1 - "Hi! I can matter manipulate and travel time! What can you do?"
Character 2 - "If I will it, I can do anything that I can imagine, and I can imagine a lot..."
Character 1 - "Oh...*slowly backs off*
