From a Starlin interview, he claimed the condition of using Superman, was to be respectful towards him.
So he made him look good against Orion, Kalibak and Mantis at the same time, and Infinity Man.
Personally, I think Infinity Man was holding back on him. He did tell Superman he didn't want to kill him, since he's not a New God, and the shield he encased him in also protected him once the Source Wall fell.
Plus, the Source itself saw to Supermans welfare after he was caught between New Genesis and Apokolips, and personally sent him home.
