Sometimes, I wish I could hate you to death.
First things first. In JLA#8, set 5 years after the fight with Darkseid, Cyborg mentions how out of every 1000 boomtube jumps, they get sent to Apokolips. This has happened twice before, and it's been 1,056 booms since they got sent there. That's nearly 2 boomtube jumps a day, every day for five years. I think it''s safe to say he can do it easily:

The problem of course, as you can see, is mass. Hence, Ray Palmer shrink tech.
Here are some more boom tube jumps. As you can see, it takes no time to initiate and can be done in the heat of battle. So it's not as if he needs time to charge up or anything (JLA 16):

They then fixed it, so he doesn't go to Apokolips all the time. The tradeoff, is that like Nightcrawler, he needs a link to it. Otherwise he might boom into space or underwater. Not that it matters here, because he wouldn't care where he's sending chunks of the Earth's core (JLA 15).

They then upgraded him (as alluded to in the previous scan) to operate underwater and in space. So that weakness was removed:

Random boomtubing (JLA #9):

He then got ANOTHER upgrade, which makes him silent even to Superman's senses:

They seem to have forgotten this, however (JLA 32):

It also operates from space to Earth (Superman/WW...11, I think?):

So yeah, he can and routinely boomtubes (especially as shown in the first scan, where he's doing an average of nearly 2 a day).

No chance. For one thing you have Franklin to contend with.
Like with the Age of Ultron, Thanos Imperative, the incursions, Fear Itself (where he actually had a role with Angrir....then did nothing else), Exitar, WWH (even as his own dad was enslaved etc)? Sure, OK.

And as was correctly pointed out earlier in this thread, Marvel Earth is not a standard planet...Its an Elder God; Gaea...
Nobody on that JLA team is killing an Elder God...
Yeah, Gaia was such a help when the rogue planet appeared (from an alternate universe, no less! and came for them). Ditto the incursions, also from alternate realities.
