The Kryptonian however has NO feats...just Reed saying that he's second in power to Galactus. Just by looking at him.
Not by looking at him but knowing superman capabilities mixed with the power cosmic, that is enough to know that he is the second most powerful being in the universe.
Imagine juggernaut with the power cosmic. Who would stop him. The only thing that he is missing right now to make him unbeatable is speed and flight. The power cosmic grants all of that. There was no telling what galactus gave superman during the transformation since all heralds have different powers.
Also the transformation of supermans was different than the rest; his actually took longer. Power cosmic and superman combined powers means unstoppable. Superman Prime would give a good fight but what is there in his arsenal that would take cosmic superman down. What is there in his arsenal that would even take surfer down (even though I know he can defeat surfer but it would be hard).
If you can tell me one thing that he could do to cosmic superman that would render his invulnerability then maybe I would agree with you.
