Not surprised.Ion Sodam Yat held his own for a good long while against Superman Prime (unamped) and really started faltering only when the lead poisoning kicked in. I see current Worldbreaker Hulk as physically over Ion Sodam Yat.
And I'm discounting all-out Worldbreaker Hulk from that equation.

An amped Prime's been overpowered by less, i.e., Monarch who beat the entire Guardian amp out of him physically. And no, the cumulative damage Monarch beat him down with =/= universal explosion.
What's not impressive about surviving an explosion like that?
I believe Monarch, while holding his own, was on the receiving end of that fight, being why, you know, he exploded? Also, that Monarch was a complete monster. And... He had the amp through the Monarch fight, he didn't have it after the explosion, so it wasn't beaten out of him. Monarch himself said he was packing the energy of a big bang, and the moment he actually caused Prime pain, Prime tore him up and released it, and survived it.
And that Sodam Yat showing was meant to be very impressive, I suppose it just flew by you though, Superboy had pretty much just fought a JLA/JSA+ lineup iirc, through the night... while on low power, and they were hardly a challenge for him, but finally were about to get him as he was running completely out of juice.... once the sun hit him, they all put on their "Oh shit" face, as he simply shrugged off them all off.. Obviously meant to portray that they'd hardly be a challenge to him at this point. .. and then Sadam came in and took to him one on one for a while. And if my holding his own, you mean, tackling into him and going into the water for a moment before Prime smashed his face to pieces and then shoved a uranium rod through his stomach that breached his shields which let the lead in, sure. Yat wasn't in a fight to win, he was in a fight for survival after the initial contact was made.
