And no, that is not All-Star Superman. 🙂
So, he goes into the water and gets underneath? He didn't lift it then; he flew it out. Try again. It's like in the last movie, when he flies the bow end of the yacht out of the water.
What about him picking up part of a skyscraper or something, and tossing it? Surely he's done that.

Theres no official figure. He has never had a cap on his strength, never had a limit. If a situation calls for it you can bet your sweet ass he will step up and if it cant be done, sun dip time.But to give you a rough idea he has moved a planet, split one of Saturns moons in half and helped move the moon and earth more than once, tossed a planet sized spacecraft and lifts ocean liners and submarines with one hand like its nothing.
It seemed to me that early post crisis had several limits with speed strength and a few others which made him much much more entertaining.

After some type of storm, the submarine had been beached.
So again,
Superman lifted it with one arm, and preceded to fly around with it. 🙂
Post-crisis Superman (aka Byrnes' Superman) had very definite limits on his abilities (eg, barely being able to lift a mountain or barely surviving a nuclear blast). Still, lifting 100,000 tons overhead with one arm is, by comparison, child's play, even if done on dry land without a warm-up and wearing comfy outer-underwear.
Superman can conceivably absorb the entire output of the Sun, which is the equivalent of over a billion megaton nukes every second. Considering that suns can exist for Billions of years, thats a heck of a LOT of energy. With that kind of power Im sure he could potentially move a neutron Star, or something else with a equivalently huge mass.
What I don't get, if he gets his powers from the Sun, that would make his immune stystem superhuman, and give him accelerated healing, all that good stuff because he thrives off the earths atmosphere, how does he age normally? I mean obviously he is going to age slowly (if at all) because he's fictional, but thereotically, he should be aging alot slower than Bruce Wayne.

😕During JLA 1M, Supes was in the Sun for over 15,000 years, and he didn't come close to absorbing it's entire output. 😬
Thats because he didn't try to, absorbing the entire suns out put would have Killed everyone in the solar system. Its pretty obvious though that he does have some means of manipulating the suns radiation, otherwise he wouldn't be able to absorb the energies needed to complete his feats.

I thinks thats what is proposed by JLA 1 million where he is still alive in the 853rd century.

can he consciously do that though. In the imperlex saga he had to plung into the sun inorder to absorb more. I always seen his solar absorbtion like a plant and photosynithsis where he just absorbes the rays that are directed toward him and that he can't just suck up more when ever he wants.

Originally posted by JuntaiBut I don't think he can absorb the Sun's energy in the same way someone like Surfer can, [as someone seemed to allude to].
As he stresses or angers, he begins to suck in more sunlight as a rapid pace, and they've even eluded to him doing it to other energy sources as well. Dr Emil Hamilton and Mongul have both noted this, as well as others.
