I have no idea when most of the stuff you submitted is supposed to be happening in relation to itself. I just assumed it's all around the same time, all around 2004 or thereabouts, because I recognized the artwork of some of the scans as that of (Ed?) McGuinness, who usually worked with Jeph Loeb.
I'll Google the title Pr gave and read a synopsis, if time permits.
How strong or weak Superman himself was at that time is not necessarily a good barometer of how strong Parasite was. Parasite had apparently absorbed 4 or more other people in addition to Superman, shown or alluded to in your scans. He also apparently had the ability to retain and recall those stolen powers at will, much like Marvel Comics Rogue could do. It wouldn't surprise me at all to learn DC copied this idea from Marvel, though I suppose it could have gone the other way just as well.
At any rate, the presentation of the event leads me to conclude Wonder Woman had a significant upper hand, and that Parasite knew it, which is why he chose to flee instead of fight, and flee very quickly at that.
You've proven you'll use retcons when it suits you but ignore them when they don't, and argue "what the writer intended" when it suits you but dismiss it when it doesn't. The writer of the fight with Mon-El never intended her to be poisoned by Kryptonite. The storyline I showed scans from most certainly had intended that, since even before Superman started glowing green, he'd been coughing a lot(as was Parasite in scans I posted).
The storyline went from late 1999 to early 2000. If you can't follow the scans well, then why bother coming on your phone? Unless you specifically want an excuse to ignore scans, that is.....actually that makes a lot of sense and wouldn't surprise me.
This is such a reach. There wasn't anything indicating he was stronger than Superman except your mental gymnastics. He died by what killed Superman when Supes was still able to look for Lois.
Of course you'd come to that conclusion. You think that her smiling well after the fight is a feat. Unless you just didn't realize that Superman had been looking for Parasite and comes back saying why he couldn't find him before the smile you're so proud of? Parasite straight-up SAYS he has to get the lasso off before they find the truth. The reality is she got the jump on him AFTER he'd been fighting Superman, he shrugged it off if it even bothered him to begin with, and he stunned her, all while at best equal to a weakened Superman. But you keep doing your mental gymnastics to delude yourself into thinking he was superior. The storyline doesn't support it. This is just as bad as your arguments that Supergirl was made weaker at one point, when none of your arguments that she was are supported by the comics(Argo City would've had a similar environment to Krypton, and she lived most of her life on Krypton anyways, she wasn't made younger as she was getting ready for college and on New Krypton was ready to join a guild, if anything she got older). And you allegedly read those comics, so no surprise you'd completely get comics you didn't read wrong. 😆
