This is definitely shaping into a very special sort of thread.
Certainly it has some of the most amazing and unexpected quotes from P.R. that I could have imagined.
Anyway, I notice Mon-el got a mention here.
I was going to show him as another Superman analog that Kara contended well with as a matter of course, so ...
Actually, separate from the simple fact of the fight, which takes place in Legion of Super-Heroes #25, there is an impressive feat is accomplished during this fight. It's true that Mon-el was long regarded as superior to the world-moving Silver Age Superboy, but I'm not really interested in that; no firm way to prove or disprove Mon-el's strength relation to Superman in the day and age this took place in.
No, of far more interest is the mention of Inertron, for decades the hardest known metal in all of the DC Universe. I seem to remember, though I cannot be sure, there were some instances where even the powerful Kryptonians of the day could not bend the metal, at least beyond a certain threshhold thickness of it.
It was regarded at DC more or less the way primary adamantium is/was regarded at Marvel comics today.
Well, in Legion25, the Legion unexpectedly finds themselves encountering an even MORE formidable barrier than THAT ...
