I always thought that he originally lost his powers because of the massive red sun radiation he received during infinite crisis, and was slow to getting them back because of his subconscious..Anyways I understand what you're saying, but its sort of a stretch that he was completely human level as Gangbuster. I mean in the end he never actually lost his power though it was obvious his mind was preventing the full use of his faculties.
You're correct that he did lose them because of the end of INFINITE CRISIS. I guess I should've gone into more detail. He did not REGAIN his powers for a year, they even tested and saw his body wasn't absorbing solar energy, cells actually resisting it. It was late on he regained them bit by bit.
I showed above him being fine in the Firepits, and his hand being fine when he was unconscious, then burning when he woke-up with amnesia. He thought he was human, so he was physically human. When he was convinced by Darkseid that he was DS's son and gained power from DS, he regained his powers. Unless you think the stuff I showed is superhuman, from what I saw he looked to be at human(for comics) levels when he thought he was Gangbuster during his black-out spells. Hell, before he found-out he was Superman, he was fighting Guardian and hitting him with serious intent and not injuring Guardian.
