So this is essentially your response?

Here are the facts.
After encountering the Sun-Eater, Superman showed the exact same symptoms as the other heroes who were drained e.g., he was physically weak and on his knees, his speech was stuttered, and his speech bubble was crumbled. This is evidence that Superman was at least partially drained:
Firestorm straight up tells Superman he would have his life's energy drained and killed by the Sun-Eater. Again, this is perfectly consistent with Superman getting partially drained. It also contradicts Abhi's claim that Superman can resist a Sun-Eater:
Finally, after his encounter with the Sun-Eater, Superman is shown to be severely weakened from the lack of sun light within just 27 hours. He was weakened to the point where he got tired catching bullets, and was barely faster than a bullet by his own admission:
The weakest version of Superman (e.g., Byrne) can go days in total darkness before his powers even begin to fade:
Yet, this more powerful version of Superman had his powers severely faded in only 27 hours (let alone begin to fade) after his encounter with the Sun-Eater. The fact that his powers faded so quickly is more evidence he was partially drained by the Sun-Eater.
Logically, all this points toward Superman being partially drained by the Sun-Eater. What's abhi's rebuttal? One scan of Superman saying his powers were diminishing after Paris (which doesn't logically fit anywhere), and then throwing a whole punch of low-ball Surfer scans to distract from the argument. Very rich. 😂
