How would you improve an underachieving Character

Issuse 534.1 is the first one i read (after having it recommended by ExodusCloak). It's just before the new breakworld arc.

I'd make Sodam Yat stalemate a Superman level character without tapping into the Ion power and then easily stomp them after tapping into it.

As it stands people can (and have) made decent arguments that even with the Ion Power Sodam Yat won't take a clear majority over Superman
