Yes, he has beat Martian Manhunter [one-shot], beat Hal Jordan [absorbing all his energy], defeated the combined might of Dr.Fate-Hal Jordan and Wonder Woman at the same time, defeated Dr.Fate on another occasion [one-shot], defeated Star Sapphire [absorbing her energy], defeated Infinity Man, etc.
He's a beast

Ancient feats. His recent showing in dong made him into a sidekick imo. Kalibak was the heavyhitter and even he needed a lucky blow to down Superman.
It's called a bad showing, you don't ignore all his other showings as per the rules of the board 😬
Even not to long ago he was taking on the Legion and one-shotted the Titans and The Favored

Ok so his good feats arent so far back but his latest battle brings his average way down imo.
Not really as those showings completly contradicted all of his other showings and the majority showings he is depicted at. As per the rules of the board we go by how the characters are generally portrayed at not just 1 or 2 bad showings.
Like recently Extremis Iron Man had his armor cut open by a Hand ninja, do we take that as a norm?

Pis is an altogether different thing imo. But ignoring someones showing completely is picking and choosing imo. Leave it alone I have given you my opinion.
Errrr...those things I mentioned were PIS, so why would they count? As we have rules on this board that discredit it 😬
