They were all rookies, they formed the JLA because of Darkseid, some years already passed. Where i am getting this from? The Comic, JLA is one of those I buy. Yet Superman could have killed him here with a punch and just pulled the punch in order to safe Mongul, you see and read this right?Because if we don't know how much effort both put into their grips and if it is their limit or if they are stronger than this, we can only judge this objectively by comparing their strength feats, which are almost nonexistent at this point.
Uuuummmmm, Superman said he didn't throw a killing blow. That does not mean he would have killed Mongul. This means he pulled his punch. We have no idea on if he would have survived or died. What we do know is both Superman and Batman (the same Batman that killed Supes with a punch) fought him together and was losing at one point.
Lol...so I am suppose to ignore the fact that Darkseid overpowered Superman because YOU think he received some type of power up because he was a Rookie? Does that apply to everyone as well? Can Diana take Darkseid and overpower him? She was a rookie back then as well, correct? What about GL? He tried to wrap Darkseid in constructs and it was busted through with ease. Does that mean that Darkseid would have trouble ripping them apart now or that he would probably fail? Please let us know because some people hyped Darkseid because of his showing against the JLA. If he is a weakling, then that would put him back where he was before.
