Of course, the next step in track to honesty about Superman, Astro, is you admitting that these CONSISTENT showings over the c ourse of decades and under multiple writers are actually indicative of Superman current level of power and formidabililty.
Acknowledging Superman's explcit increases in power level and general trend of increasing feat levels and relative formidablilty woudn't be a bad thing, either, as well as the fact that his power level is *clearly* dynamic anf fluctuates based partially on his mental state/subconsious superhuman holding back reflex ever since the Byrne era.
Darkseid specifically stated that Superman's strength was higher than ever in Apokolips Now.
That's what it would require--actually accepting Superman's continuity ,feats and the way his varying powerlevel factor works as is instead of ignoring/downplaying anything that you think gives Superman too much of an advantage over your favorite characters.
I know that would mean acknowledging the fact that Superman is more powerful than Hal and physically above Orion, but hey, If I can accept that Captain America trumps Batman after years of arguing otherwise as a Batman fanatic, then even you can do it, Astro.
