Notice how sometimes there's red energy flaring around Superman's eyes? That's not a new power Superman purposely develops, it's just solar energy.
I also fail to see how these supposedly new powers would save him from the savage assraping Gladiator would suffer at his hand. The Trickster' can Surpass Gladiator easily. Speaking of surviving "being hit at lightspeed" he survived Thor's hammer to the face several times. Loki was able to hurt Surtur, a skyfather equal to Odin. Do you have any examples of Gladiator harming someone on skyfather level?
The teleportation took plac after his fight with cannonball. He teleported the entire xmen to the shiar empire.
Notice in this scan where it say that both surfer and glads is emitting immense cosmic energy, not just surfer, and look at the energy coming from there bodies.
