After Crisis on Infinite Earths, all Pre-Crisis Superman stories were erased from continuity, however after Infinite Crisis it seems that these stories might once again be cannon.
Superman's Fortress of Solitude contained an entire solar system he created by himself:

Maaldor, a powerful cosmic being who had existed for billions of years and conquered an entire universe, refers to Superman and Power Girl as the two most powerful beings in the multiverse. He tries to kill Power Girl, then Superman fights him and it states that Maaldor shrugs off attacks that could reduce a planet to rubble, and replies with attacks that have been used for just that purpose. Superman is fine, and it turns out that Power Girl survived.

Superman and Power Girl trick Maaldor into confronting his own soul which causes him to self - destruct and create an entire new universe from the remains of his energy. Superman seals off that universe from the rest of the multiverse with his heat vision:

A rogue Superboy robot grabs Superman and flies him thousands of miles into space in a fraction of a second, then flings him faster than light across the solar system. He can't turn around until he reaches Uranus, but he still gets back in only a matter of minutes:

Superman and Supergirl destroyed a planet:
Superman and Supergirl fight Blackstarr, an extremely powerful cosmic reality warper. Feats for them include flying at warp speed, surviving gravity shockwaves from black holes, Supergirl surviving simultaneous blasts from multiple quasars (one quasar can emit as much energy as an entire galaxy), Superman surviving being blasted back by the force of a million gravities and smashing a planet apart as a result, Superman breaking through a "concentrated light beam" that would destroy anyone else, both of them attacking at FTL speed and moving so fast that they would pass thousands of light - years in an instant, flying through dimensions, flying to the edge of the universe, surviving a gravitational blast that reached across the entire universe and expanded it back to its normal size, keeping an eye on Blackstarr from across the universe the whole time, and flying back after the universe had expanded. What's even more amazing is that all of this was Bronze Age (immediately Pre - Crisis), where Superman and Supergirl were officially depowered and much weaker than they were in the Silver Age.
