Which Surfer feat do you want matched?
Unlike an attribute like strength or speed, their attributes are so diverse and versatile, its difficult to compare.
Surfer has a definite weakness. Even though it required a top level super intellect to exploit it, Manhattan could probably replicate that energy pulse. Manhattan on the other hand, cannot be destroyed by any conventional/physical means.

Surfer's weakness was tachyons.You know, the things that cloud Manhattan's temporal perception and can't be manipulated by him.
I didn't expect them to be the same.
Lol looked it up and it indeed is.
Not sure it means he cannot generate the pulse himself. E.g Pyro can be burnt by fire. Rough analogy, I know - please don't pull a Silent Master on me.
Rewatching Watchmen, I'd give Manhattan a good edge given the level of abilities displayed.

That weakness is tachyons. Same as Manhattan whose precog gets blocked by them particles. So no, Manhattan's not replicating what Doom and Reed were able to pull off.

Most of his feats were hardly something which an average Surfer couldn't replicate. Surfer on the other hand pulled of sh1t like blowing holes from one side of the planet to another, causing superpowers to fluctuate, healing Doom with a casual blast, and killing a Jupiter-sized entity that destroyed entire planets. The kind of firepower which Manhattan isn't capable of dealing with.
Anyway, Sutter Cane takes my top spot. He literally has the power of an author over a story, he is for all intents and purposes omnipotent.
1. Sutter Cane (It occurs to me that I'm exploiting a loophole by naming him because Lestov explicitly disallowed the beings who empowered him but **** Lestov)
2. Anthony Fremont
3. Silver Surfer
4. Superman (Reeves/Routhe)
5. Not sure
