If we're talking just numerically, there's definitely higher numbers than just trillions of tons.
But I can't think of a single other person--below skyfather, that could for sure hold a basically 2 trillion ton+(since it said plural, meaning at least 2) 'gumball' in the palm of their hand. And then treat it as casually as one would an actual gumball.

The impressive part is not picking up the city. It's crushing it into a gumball.
I'm strong enough to pick up a 100lb weight. No way I'm crushing it, though. That sort of effort takes exponentially more strength. The more massive the object being crushed into a given space, the more force is going to be required.
Which reminds me that Superman holding a mini black hole is likewise a ridiculous strength feat. Somewhat quantifiable, somewhat unquantifiable. 😬

you do know his feats are tongue in cheek right?An estimate of the mass of an "average" continental lithospheric plate is 40.7x10^21 kg or forty sextillion, seven hundred quintillion kilograms.
It would have simply crumbled away, in the manner that a building should crumble, if one were to lift it from one of it's corners.
Now, if the continental plates were made of "adamantium", you would have a decent argument on your hands. But, unless the plates were indestructible, it gets put on a shelf next to the city-snack.
yes, but the nature of lobo is to do outlandish feats as he's a mockery of superheroes. he was first made as a parody of 70's-80's violence in comics as they went from being really tame in the silver age to guys like wolverine, punisher, etc showing up and making parents reconsider if their kids should read comics even more than usual. he only cares about money, he chomps and smokes cigars back-to-back, drinks, swears, kills instead of apprehends, etc, all a parody of the times.
gray hulk + wolverine + a dash of punisher = lobo
nowadays he's just an out of date parody of a dead era, and himself, like duke nukem
