Hmm. Not sure that's the order I'd put them in but then despite watching the old TV show I can remember absolutely zero feats. Only saw the 1st few seasons of smallville of which there wasn't a huge amounts of big fight feats. Routh supes has it in strength. Lifting that massive kryptonite laced island was greater than Hancock's. Speed clearly Reeves supes demolishes Hancock. Fighting you'd have to give to MoS supes.
Difficult to quantify Hancock's moon decoration thing. Clearly fast but not sure about strength.
If he gets passed MoS supes and providing no one knows any big feats from either TV versions then he'll probably beat Routh but get utterly ***** stomped by Reeves.

Hancock stopped a train simply by bracing himself. That's pretty insane.
It's a very good feat, but that doesn't come close to the power Routh exerted to lift the island and the forces his body would have endured.
Only other strength feat that comes close off the top of my head is Astro Boy lifting the city.

The difference is in the effort it took them. Routh struggled against that island. Heck, he struggled against a jumbo jet.
Hancock didn't even flinch against that train.
We don't really know what Hancock's upper limit is. Not saying he wins, just that the island lifting feat is not necessarily a greater feat than stopping the train when we consider the amount of effort they used for their respective feats.

But wait, he was grimacing doing it so Hancock stopping that train might exceed it. WE DON'T KNOW....................

Oh, I agree that Routh is stronger, but it's still impressive. It's better than anything Hulk has done on screen for sure.

I think that's a different argument that involves, physics. That same Routh did lift a continent made of kryptonite
The only fight even arguable is MOS Superman (I know nothing about TV Superman).
The difference between the train feat and Routh Superman's kryptonite island feat is that Superman's feat is millions of times better. "Oh well Routh had to strain himse-" **** no. Based on feats Hancock couldn't have done that at all. Routh Superman is also considerably faster than Hancock.

Routh struggling against that island would equate his him being able to shoulder a train just the same as Hancock, since we're talking a difference of a millions if not billions of tons.
He did not "struggle" against the jet, he had to go slow, otherwise he would have torn the plane apart and killed everyone inside. Which would have been counterproductive.
Agreed, we don't know Hancock's upper limit, so we go with what his greatest is. But the island feats is without a doubt greater than the train feat.
