Flash- You tried to deny it but it is central to any battle.
Rookie Superman was beating the crap out of Hal Jordan. Heck, even Wonder Woman was knocking him around.
Hal was treated as a joke in that opening arc. He has no business being compared to anyone in this thread imo. And Wonder Woman is also incredibly suspect in terms of power. Even with her bracers off, she's incredibly underwhelming. It's not her fault, her book is just incredibly toned down. If we compare Thor/Hyperion/Hulk from Marvel Now to her comic, they'd rip the First Born into pieces and he's above top tier in her Universe. It doesn't help that the last time she faced a herald level being (Doomsday), she broke both her arms trying to stop a punch. And based on his fight with Kryptonian exoskeletons, he's not exactly Hunter Prey level. He did send Superman flying with a sucker punch but that's about all it did. Who's left, Aquaman and his staff (We've seen how incredibly tough Atlantean craftsmanship is recently...) or Cyborg with his sonic canon?
I also hope people don't get too hanged up on the planet benching feat as it took place years after the Darkseid fight IIRC and it was specifically a result of Superman trying to push himself after Helspont gave him a concussion with a backhand to the moon. The latest issue said Earth 2 Superman was Darkseid's equal so the rematch will be interesting.
Now, personally, I don't think raw power feats are the only standard to judge character match ups by but I'm reading arguments from people who would do just that if the positions are reversed. So I want to be clear that this is easily applicable in this fight. Darkseid had a high end showing where he destroyed a planet. Cool. Hulk just punched out time and it took a Multiversal being a huge chunk of their power to restrain him, Thor has the entire Gorr arc basically, and Hyperion has his incursion feat so you know, no contest in terms of overall feats.
This all being said, I think this is a good fight but the team would win which imo is a fair assumption based on the sheer raw power they have, numbers, and Mjolnir being able to counter the Omega Beams.
