No, you dont have to ignore Supes' high end feats. But you have to average all his feats out, from his bad ones to his good ones.
Superman's average is being the most powerful and all around effective superhero in the DC universe. I would say that makes him a powerful mother fucker. Certainly more powerful than Hyperion.

And in this specific instance, yes, they are analagous feats. Sure, beating the Fantastic Five isnt as impressive as getting the better of 2 Hyperions, but the way he did it, how easily and everything, you could tell he was on the same level when he beat the F5 as he was when he fought the Hyperions. Take into consideration how easily he did it, that he obviously was holding back, and that he literally reduced the Thing to a forearm and gravel. The fact of how easily he did it, and everything else fo that matter, compared to how getting the better of 2 Hyperions was pretty tough for him, etc it's pretty obvious that he was always on the same level.
They aren't analogous. One is a good feat. One is mediocre and not worthy of top tier status.
You said yourself it wasn't impressive what Exiles Surfer did to that version of Gladiator (and I agree) so why the hell would it be impressive what Hyperion did?
I don't get it.
Superman has better strength feats than Hyperion. Fact.
Superman has better speed feats than Hyperion. Fact.
Superman has better durability feats than Hyperion. Fact.
Superman has better combat feats than Hyperion. Fact.
Yet, King Hyperion is more powerful than Superman and you'd HAVE to be fucking retarded to think otherwise? Doesn't fly.
