At first sight, I didn't either. But as explained in the next issue, whenever one of them died the timeline/universe got destroyed.http://imgur.com/XHoUM1b

Since Batman had already died, Human Bomb's explosion coupled with the time bubble destroyed that timeline/universe.
There's also this confirmation that various realities were getting destroyed:

There's no doubt that those were whole realities which were getting destroyed but I most definitely disagree on the Superman durability part; although im not going to debate it, of course.

Yeah, I have never considered that version of Franklin to be anything more than a Cable-ripoff high herald.
Psi Lord is much greater than a high herald. It's just that he has self imposed inhibitions on his abilities. His powers are held in check by his armor which drains the excess of power lest it overwhelms him and goes beyond his control. In Fantastic Force #5, when Dreadface possesses Franklin, he lets go of his inhibitions, by severing the link between him and his armor:

It's later confirmed, in issue #9, that this letting off his inhibitions threatened to destroy space/time:

Or in the Vangaard instance the same thing happened; Psi Lord let go of his inhibitions and unleashed a big bang which ripped apart space/time. This was the reason why Diablo referred to Psi-Lord's powers as being "universe-shattering" in Fantastic Force #17:

(same thing was said the following issue)
There's also no reason why would Psi-Lord be weaker than standard Franklin, because he's the exact same character, who was trained to handle his powers in a more controllable way, and he did that by limiting himself. In fact, Diablo sought to use Psi-Lord to vanquish Mephisto because Franklin's done so in the past. That should tell you that they possess the same power level. Not to mention that a letter's page had him called the most powerful mutant ever (it's from FF 380 something).
He's at least a universal power.
