3. WWIII?
3-2. Yes, he does possess a healing factor. His lightning can regenerate him and his damage soak is impressive. He's definitely comparable to Superman in these aspects.
4. Black Adam can amp his fists with magical lightning, as well as coat his entire body in it, such as when he tackled Spectre like a lightning torpedo. It doesn't take hardly any time at all for either of those, and he can do those without shouting "Shazam!".
5. Usually with context, amps, or plot device if they were truly more powerful across the board than him.
Superman winning more than 6/10 is really pushing it.
1. Yes, magic hurts superman but not to the point people are making it to be or do you think magic hurts him more than kryptonite? He has stated to darkseid that compared to kryptonite omega beams are walk in a park. Do you think adam's lightning charged punches can hurt him more than omega beams? Since bio field's gone superman can easily endure his amp punches because he has endured greater magic than adam's lightning e.g Disciples's magic, a magic beam that was going to destroy entire paradise island etc.
2. No, Jay only stole adam's speed to achieve light speed, his muscles started to tear at mach 500 and he started slowing down and fell during higher speed, seeing him fall down Jay stole his speed and crossed light speed. Compare this to superman who started his race to wally at 2000 mps and was accelarating and if you'd read his race with Jay you'll learn that it was ON FOOT when Cadbara put a spell on wally so that he was running at top speed and they were trying to catch him.
3. WWIII. What did he do in 52 that was so spectacular? Fought teen titans, fought doom patrol, tricked j'onn, restrained by alan and power girl, got his face melted by martian vision. For an amped adam it was a shitty showing, he never fought anyone of elite club, just a bunch of heroes who jobbed to him I mean alan scott going H2H wtf, he fought heroes with groups of one and two and no one was trying to harm him while he was trying to kill everyone. Regular Superman fought j'onn, power girl, supergirl, killowog, ultraa and many other alien heroes AT ONCE and they couldn't even restrain him. Later in that comic he one shotted Despero. Compare amped adam to amped Kal and you'll see the diffrence.
3. No, he doesn't posses a healing factor. Marvels can only heal by turning to their human form and returning to their powered form. Feel free to correct me. Superman OTOH has healed from impaled by kryptonite blades, throat slit by tiara, impaled by magic arrows and sword in superman man of steel 128 and many more times.
4. So, what is diffrent between hand surrounding lightning and body surrounding lightning, magic doesn't weakens superman neither it amps adam's durability, the lightning just disrupts magic. It wasn't that much of high end showing either as it's just a form of nectoplasm and superman himself breached spectre's form in action comics 829. Superman shattered the body of soulfire darkseid by nothing but his fists but these feats are meaningless.
5. What context, he beat Eclipsed Mon while suffocating in a straight battle, he fought superboy who was orderded by time trapper to kill him otherwise trapper would erase his dimension long enough to make him realise he was fighting wrong man. He fought prime without any context, one shotted diana in final crisis without any context, one shotted despero without any context. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean we would keep only adam's high end feats and toss superman's out of window.
I would only reconsider my stance when anybody tells me a single time adam has defeated an opponent stronger, faster and more durable than him.
