He can create illusions using light, also can create a sun, and rearrange matter.
Of course faster than light, flight, use light to blind, shoot heat and laser beams. Plus other standard new gods powers like superhuman strength and invulnerability. Also absorbs energy
Can greatly amp any kryptonian.

Mostly that seems like one power, energy expulsion, at high level. Plus strength and toughness.

Most of those are just 'shoot lots of energy,' though, plus illusion. Make a sun, shoot heat, blind someone, and amp a kryptonian is just a matter of where the power's dialed. Stargirl can do all of that except 'make a sun,' and only that because she lacks the omph.
Zatanna's spells can do a much wider variety. She can do illusions or blasty too, and make stuff. But she can also mess with souls, teleport, summon things, go into dreams and other planes, put restrictions on what other people can and can't do, alter memories, shrink, grow, counterspell, etc. etc..

like a said before dude can rearrange matter on top of being a faster than light brick with who can absorb energy and redirect it like so
😎 He can do everything Supes can minus freeze breath plus more.
When has Stargirl moved at ftl speed, turn total body into fire, and redirect the source energy of an Elemental? That's the worst comparison every.

Flash Level speed
'shoot lots of energy'- how about turn entire body into fire equaling the heat of a few suns
Sorry, setting oneself on fire isn't much in the versatility department. It's just what he normally does- projects energy, even more so.
For utility, what does raising the heat to the level of a few suns let him do, in practical terms? As far as I can tell, it just lets him deliver destructive power to a target.
'Another way to blast stuff' doesn't add much to a characters versatility, no matter how badass it is.

What 'rearrange matter' feats does he have?
We talking Firestorm, or narrow uses?

Superman's only so-so in versatility, there's a dozen heroes as versatile as him and plenty that are more-so. Being a bit better than Superman doesn't make one one of the most versatile around.

You're talking about power there, but the question is purely versatility.
Stargirl hasn't done that stuff, or even close, but it's a matter of amount, not type of power. She creates energy, absorbs and redirects energy, flies, etc., as well as stuff like forcefields and TK and superstrength and toughness.
Given that the Source is the origin of almost every super-power in the DCU, Takion is easily in the top 3 on this one. But he's way over high herald.
Do you mean versatile as in powerset, or creative usage of their powers?
Because if it's the latter, Superman. I don't think it's even a question that he's in the top 5.
