I don't think combat feat or more relivant because heros "job" majority of the time when facing a single character, especially a new character. Black Adam has ran through a group of mid/high heralds and people tend to give Superman the majority or a good fight against him, along with Thor and other heralds. Hulk has also ran through teams but in a forum match, people would give Thor the edge.
A true indication of power is the best route to take. Cable TP and TK feats are better but Tangent combat feats are better but if we look at combat feats, again, that make Black Adam>Surfer, Thor, Super, etc, etc, when all in all, he isn't.

i'll qualify my position and say, in general, because it's a vs forum, i'd personally put more stock in the combat feat--especially when you look further into what a gl is capable of. sometimes, a more generalized (though much wider scale) display of power is not the BEST way to judge. inanimate objects don't fight back afterall..... i say i qualified my opinion because it depends of course on the level of the combatants and the relative power of the one who was beaten. a gl is uber. was it a really powerful gl though? as a general rule, i think those types of displays (wide scale, non-battle feats) def have an important place as evidence--but when you are talking about vs matches, combat feats are still the MOST important single piece of evidence imo. i'll finish by saying that, like anything though, it depends on HOW impressive the non-combat feat was. 😂
Spot on.
On the same note I remember arguing for the power level of guys like Highfather who was some planetary level manipulation/creation feats - at least 3 wide scale power display from him and probably the same folks would be unconvinced.
Merging New Genesis and Apokolips, creating the Celestial City, and then the second time providing the power to recreate it. Creating Takion, merging skyfathers Zeus, Jove, Odin, Ares and himself into one being etc
At the end of the day unless these powers were used or shown capable of being used in combat strategy (like merging beings into one in a team) then we go mostly by combat feats.
