I hope you realize that you're saying that nobody can ever surpass pre-DCnU Superman in strenght, for the simple fact that he lifted infinity. As in, no character who was ever created, or will ever be created, can ever surpass him, and they'd have to lift
infinite weight in order to match him.
As in, put all of the Marvel Universe characters (including cosmic beings) who haven't lifted infinite weight together, and Superman wouldn't even be budged in terms of strength.
On the other hand, you ignore the repeated times that pre-DCnU Superman has been explicitly shown to need help, and even fail with that help, when Planet/Moon moving was involved.
Are you serious here? Do you not grasp what saying "Superman lifted infinite weight" implies?
Basically, DCnU Superman could have crushed countless galaxies into a fist-seized cube, soccer-kicked it into another Megaverse, and it would still be inferior to pre-DCnU Superman because, well, that guy lifted infinite weight!
What the f*ck?

However moving a Planet is not the same as benchpressing it's weight. There are more things then just Earths mass what keep it in it's orbit. The Black Hole feat is similar and is arguably in the same level. You have to overcome the gravitional pull of the Sun, the Moon and some other near planets to move earth from it's orbit. I don't think Pre-Flashpoint Superman would have much trouble to replicate this feat in this machine. He was just unfortunate enough to never try it. Still we have 2 infinite feats, black holes, mageddon etc. It's enough.
1). Bench-pressing a planet requires lesser force than to move it out of orbit.
2). Superman has infinite strength is a retarded argument, and this is coming from one of the most overzealous Superman fans here.
3). Nothing else other than the infinite feat come close to bench-pressing Earth for 5 days, without sun, and only sweating a drop at the end while basically being "is that it?"
I honestly can't wrap my head around somebody reading pre-Flashpoint Superman and going "eh, this guy can perform that feat". As in, I've read literally every one of his appearances and I'm telling you that he is consistently not even close to being powerful enough to do it.
