But I don't see any damage done to the missiles by his punch. In the next page the panel shows no damage. But it doesn't matter as I said above that Cyborg could possibly have equal or greater durability against blunt force as the missiles. I don't have a problem with that. Using a different comic huh? That's cool. But in the HP comic Superman actually damaged Cyborg with HV. Anyway I covered this above already.My original point was that the missiles were in the vicinity as Cap's shield in durability. You actually helped me prove that arguing the blunt durability of Cyborg. Superman can tear through tank steel like tissue paper, through titanium alloy like it's nothing, etc. But couldn't damage the missiles with a single non holding back punch? That means the missiles were above Superman's durability to some degree, even if it was just one punch. Being above Superman in durability automatically places an object at least in the vicinity of Cap's shield but not necessarily equal or above the shield.
IMO, I would say that Cap's shield is at most 2x more durable than the missiles in blunt force.
Why would you even bring up tank armor? That's not impressive at all when talking about this level.
If Cyborg has greater blunt force durability than the missiles, then you've defeated your entire point. Jesus Christ. That's all you've been talking about until you rapidly shifted your point. It's only been about Superman's strength. ONLY.
Superman damaged Cyborg right after he got hit by the Omega Beams. You must value the Omega Beams less than you think if you figure the attack value doesn't stack. And this was actually a huge blast of HV as opposed to the HV he possibly fired against the rockets.
Also, uh yes, I'm using a different comic. If your logic is applicable to rockets because of a weak punch Superman threw, then it's also applicable to haymaker flying punches from Superman. In fact you even reinforce that in this very post as you defend taking Superman's punches as some sort of indication as being about Cap's shield level.
I don't give a shit about different comics contrary to whatever the hell type of logic you're pushing. And the fact that I've proven what you're saying as made up, I see no harm actually using comic history. Boo hoo if you don't read comics, and boo hoo if I goes against your half baked ideas.
They are not because Cyborg Superman is way more durable, and they've only withstood two attacks and then got destroyed by half the power of something Hank ****ing Henshaw withstood.
I still fail to see your point with Superman destroying metals that get destroyed constantly in the real world. That in no way helps your point as much as you think it does. Tell me more about Superman punching through tanks though.
No where in those pages was Superman stated to be "not holding back" either. And considering he was getting pushed back at rapid speeds, it couldn't have possibly been anywhere near his full strength even if he was going all out.
And taking one punch from Superman doesn't mean you're anywhere near as durable as Superman either. Nor was that Superman anywhere near as durable as Cap's shield either. Jesus Christ. Your amount of logic leaps and blatantly making shit up is astounding.
Also, good job changing your logic again.
But yes, let's use your logic again, and I'm sure you'll love this:
Here is Wonder Woman damaging a way more durable Superman than Bryne Superman which apparently means she damaged something more durable than Cap's Shield?

With a shield none the less.
We've established WW damaged something that is way more durable than Bryne Superman which is around Cap's shield, but who else?
Here is Bryne level Superman actually stating he's not holding back landing a huge punch on the Creeper and doing no damage:

Oops, how'd this get in here?

So, WW hits had enough to damage something that at that stage is likely more durable than Cap's shield, and the Creeper is as durable as Superman and is in the vicinity of Cap's shield? What else can we dig up using your logic? Well, let's see.
Here is Superman engaging in a brawl with Kilowog which is doing no damage to Kilowog:

Apparently this would make Kilowog many times more durable than Cap's shield since Supeman was slightly pissed, took quite a few punches, and Superman was vastly more powerful than he was in HP.
Oh yeah, HV. Well, since that apparently means a lot, here's Aquaman taking a blast of HV relatively well from a more powerful Superman. Cap's shield level of durability too?
(Superman was wearing a lead suit which made him immune to K-nite)

I could go through more. I could go through OWAW where Superman has trouble damaging Imperiex Probes with multiple punches, starts ripping through them, and then goes back to have trouble damaging them. Which goes to show taking one punch from Superman doesn't prove they're more durable than him, and his strength can differ depending on what he puts into them.
And I know what you're thinking. "Buh it wasn't from HP". No, and it doesn't have to be. If your logic is applicable here, then it should be applicable in the next thread. And people that take full on punches from a more powerful Superman should be more durable than taking one punch that wasn't stated to be going all out, and when Superman was on the backfoot.
If a missile is more durable or around the durability of Cap's shield because Superman hit it once, then you better believe a vastly more powerful Superman hitting Kilowog multiple times would have a way better claim to that. But we know that's false, so that's why we don't claim it. Or real people do anyway. Not spambots.
With that said, 2000 and onward Superman would have dismantled both of those missiles without an issue. As indicated by him matching a full powered Darkseid multiple times, and even matching his OBs. Darkseid was vastly more powerful than Superman back then. I have no issues with that. But as proven as time went on the gap got very small if he was even more powerful than Superman at all. But for some reason that's not relevant. We're just supposed to treat a weaker Superman as some sort of God when we know for a fact that he is currently around Darkseid level.
In other words, I've only been toying with your "HP exists in a bubble" idea. It's retarded that we're supposed to forget showings exist where Darkseid shows he can not break Cap's shield. Darkseid was not stronger back then. Darkseid was not as his strongest back then.
3 comic showings are apparently all of Darkseid's appearances. Forget the hundreds of other appearances where he didn't destroy missiles...
