I think Midnite compared his strength to normal Supes, not KC, and yea, blasts comparable to Alan Scott's.
He's combat trained and had a lesser power before so he adapted well to his fairly straitforward powers, but he's still not as experienced with his higher power level as some.
This is a fight, Magog's probably even going to get some licks in, but Bill should win.
From what I hear/the bits I've seen, Magog's own comic was surprisingly good.

New character embellishment is almost a given. With some you literally just have to ignore their first few fights because they have "new character PIS" going in force. It's stronger than some jobber auras even. Stronger than Alan's flame? Heh.
Not stronger, just comparable output (and obviously, just a blast rather than having constructs).
Magog does have some feats-
Just Major Force, who's not particularly uber, but beating him isn't bad.

I actually heard the Magog ongoing was one of the worst selling DC titles out at the time. I could be wrong, though.
Oh yes, it sold horribly, like I think it started at 10 and was around 8k by the end (For comparison, REBELS's lowest point was 9k after 30-some issues). No-one was interested in a Magog book to start with. But from what I hear, it was better than one'd expect.
Originally posted by DigiNot really. All KC Supes did was decapitate 3rd World Gog via HV, after he'd already been knocked on the ground/incapacitated (afterward he went on to put Gog's head on the Source Wall.) Beforehand, 3rd World Gog had been collectively trouncing the combined JSA (ie. Alan, Thunderbolt, KC Supes, Starman, etc.)
Didn't KC Supes essentially wreck Magog's master and creator later in the series (I read it, just don't remember the details)?
The guy who deserves the most credit in that battle (by a HUGE margin), is Citizen Steel. The dude knocked 3rd World Gog flat on his ass with a mere two punches -- as I mentioned above, that is a task not even the aforementioned team was capable of. Extremely uber.

He never lived up to Midnight's hype.
