That was retconned as just being an illusion.

For those who don't know about Eradicator, here are some of his matter manipulation feats.Changed Kryptonians' DNA such that any kryptonian leaving the planet would die and changed the planet so that any alien coming to krypton would die too.
Gave people superpowers.
Enhancing life span via genetic manipulation.
Created life.
Created superman's clone from stone while being amnesiac with all his powers plus energy manipulation, matter manipulation, telepathy etc.
Transforming a whole planet and its inhabitants to krypton and kryptonians down to molecular level.
And evolved a worm into a monster the size of a small mountain/skyscraper.. Superman noted it should have collapsed under its own weight, meaning reality wasn't being ignored, but that Eradicator's not only made it grow, but enhanced it to allow it to survive..
Byrne must have been channeling Grant Morrison for that one, along with the pretty disturbing take on Jimmy Olson: Elastic Lad.

I don't know about "almost dying" but Surfer did recover quickly and try to fight Marduk. If it's not transmutation, then I'm not sure what it is? Can't be energy manipulation?
I'm not sure about that one. I have to double check how far the illusion thing goes back. Plus it wasn't your typical illusion, it was real, yet not real at the same time. It had me scratching my head.

Marduk said he was nearly dead IIRC. It wasn't typical transmutation but like I said who can tell. I haven't read a series so pointless and confusing as SS v4.
It was all an illusion as revealed when he went to Zenn-La with Genis.
