The two biggest powers ups were probably Cptn Atom and Mr. Terrific.
Captain Atom- Flying to the end of the universe, time-travel, absorbing energy from multiple versions of himself, "wish granting', coming back from atoms-he's basically Dr. Manhattan supped up 10x.
Mr. Terrific also probably got the second biggest upgrade. He was into casual dimension tech, and the type of techno babble you'd normally see from guys like Dr. Doom. Terrible comic though.
Also, a bunch of Batman's rogues arguably got upgraded. Poison ivy, Clayface, and Bane seem more impressive than they have in a while.
I would maybe say Phantom Stranger also got a slight upgrade, although I'm not too clear on what his previous power level was.

Forgot about Ivy and Phantom Stranger.

not true. greg land, who is a photorealist, is far worse.even going by the 90s extreme style you mentioned, rob liefeld was far worse. I also consider jim lee to be part of the same zeitgeist and he was good.
Greg Land is truly awful, but he is better than Brett Booth. Same with Liefeld. That said I have changed my mind, Whilace Portacio is the worst comic artist, Brett Booth will need to be content with only being the second worst artist active in mainstream comics.
Jim Lee (and Silvestri I guess) are the guys whos styles were aped by the 90s extreme gang. Brett Booth style is a photocopy of a photocopy.
