Didn't Prime take out the Superman of Earth-one, the pre-crisis version?
The criteria of feats only apply when there's no canon resolution to the battle -- as there is in this case --, or if the canon resolution of the battle wasn't heavily influenced by exterior non-standard elements like environment or equipment.
Originally posted by Astnerthat was kal-l, of earth 2-- and he certainly wasn't written to silver age levels. a true silver age kryptonian would have been leaps and bounds above mainstream supes-- kal was more or less equal to him. fact is, even prime, for all of his power, wasn't even written in a 'true' silver age light-- yet he was still well above both of the aforementioned.

in this thread pre-crisis superman is "at his best". this means he has the power to destroy entire solar systems with a sneeze. he can move planets and giant stars with his breath alone. he can time travel and dimension hop on a whim. he can pull dozens of planets behind him without expending hardly any effort. he can toss neutron stars across the universe. he can close black holes with his bare hands. etc. etc. he wins pretty easily.
