It matters because just as in any intraspecific comparison, a kryptonian is not going to be a quadrillion times stronger than another kryptonian.
Superman had been absorbing energy since he was a baby, the others only started absorbing energy after they escaped from the Phantom Zone mirror.

Even if that were the case, that's ~30 years vs say, 6 hours or so--seemed to be afternoon when they arrived and it was night when they finally fought superman.
Assuming the rate of absorption between kryptonians is fairly constant, that would only make Superman tens of thousands of times stronger.
That number isn't enough to explain the gap of mountain+ lifting all the way down to bus throwing.

The movie version of the Hulk on the other hand was a lot closer to the comic. The Hulk will just keep getting stronger, while Zod will eventually tire out.

Superman had some insane feats.

Like what? Not being fast enough to catch two missiles? Or taking almost a minute to get out from under a bus?
Being fast enough to reverse the Earths orbit and turn back time.

Could Hulk even stop one missile?!
This is a retarded thread.. Zod was strong enough to take over the Earth within days of arriving here. Hulk from Norton's movie has zero feats, and struggles against a simple squad of soldiers.
Well I admit that wasnt a lifting feat. That was just being completely indestructible against all Earthly weapons, while having the firepower from to destroy on a mass scale. And being able to fly fast enough to threaten any city on Earth.
Oh and grappled with the guy who moves the moon with ease.
Im sorry what exactly Norton Hulk's feats again which even come close to being able to dominate the whole Earth??!
The movies 1 and 2 are canon. Whatever Superman did in 1 is what he can do in 2. Writers, just like in comics, have stupid moments too.
Zod was basically 100% immune to tank shells and aircraft fire. None of it could put a scratch on him. He thought the shot gun that shot him at point blank range was a crude noise maker for crying out loud. He didn't even feel the bullet whatsoever. Hulk (the stronger 1st movie version) would almost get killed by getting hit by a tank's shell.
Superman also punched Zod from under ground through the ground through the top portion of a skyscraper like those materials were made of tissue paper. That is way more than a 1,000 ton feat. The same Superman (Silent Master) wrestled with Zod (grappled up with him) and couldn't overpower him within the first few seconds. That means Zod is at least 80% of Superman's strength by portrayal.
No more lowballing ok.
