I don't recall any impressive strength feats for Zod.

You don't need them, powerscale from Reeve's feats from the first movie. Think of Zod as maybe 80% as strong. Sounds like a fair ballpark.

Yes we do, as the Superman that Zod fought couldn't catch a slow moving bus and then spent around a minute being trapped before slowing being able to move it.

Pretty much.

While there's certain to be variations in stats, it's a safe bet they only vary as much as, say, one Cheetah is faster than another Cheetah...

Weren't there people on that bus?

He was being careful, for their sake.

You want him to kill the passengers inside?

At worst, its just an absurdly bad low feat.

Everything that he did Superman 1 is still canon.

That is the strength level Superman showed in the movie and since that's the movie where he fought Zod, it's the one we have to use in order to determine Zod's strength.

The events of the first movie still happened, so how could Superman have done them still in Superman 2 if he's only class 20 or so all of a sudden?

Some off-screen, unmentioned weakening plot between the events of superman 1 and 2?

You can call it a low showing all you want, however that is the Superman that Zod fought...therefore that is the Superman we use to determine Zod's strength.

It's the same Superman that was stopping Earthquakes in the first movie.

Then Superman jobbed, Because Zod didn't show 1/100th that level of strength.

Than an unmentioned repowering, since Superman Returns is also the same Superman?

facepalm

The Superman that Zod fought had trouble with a city bus, it being a low showing for Superman doesn't matter in regards to Zod's strength.

It matters because just as in any intraspecific comparison, a kryptonian is not going to be a quadrillion times stronger than another kryptonian.
