3. If yes, decide who gets bumped from the list. Add a why if you want.
1. Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, Captain Atom
2. Yes.
3. Captain Atom (similar powersets).

I think that the Surfer is just as powerful as Superman if not more so. If they fight the Surfer has the ability to alter the Kryptonian's very DNA down to the molecular level. In theory, he could make it so that Superman reaped zero benefits from sunlight, or even make him allergic to it altogether. The Surfer once brought a deer back to full health, while it was on the verge of death. This took all of about 3 seconds.
The Surfer would not be able to replace Superman on the other hand, because Superman fights certain foes that would probably beat the life out of the Surfer. So, in that light Superman is actually more versatile than the Surfer, but that only applies to combat scenarios. I guess that I'd place the Surfer neck and neck with Superman.

That Superman could hold down Surfer I guess would be your point? If Surfer is purely going h2h I guess yeah.
Though considering Surfer has flown through multiple stars and black holes with his neck exposed...Surfer ranges from star level to near infinite then.
I know it's hard for you to swallow but not every post about Surfer is a slight against Superman. I just wanted to post what Surfer is about nowadays.
Do you want to argue with me about Surfer vs Superman in other words?Cosmic awareness should detect that destroying a badge would shame and exile him? But your point wasn't about context of the feat. You just wanted to show your low showing you brought up and you worded it terribly. You brought up however a textbook example of weakness exploitation of something that isn't even a weakness. How do you combat Surfer using weakness exploitation when he gets overpowered? Naturally by showing Surfer using weakness exploitation while getting overpowered.
I don't even figure how you thought that would combat that.Also Gladiator beats both Thanos and a more powerful Warlock I guess at the same time according to you. What feats does Gladiator have to say he could accomplish this?
If you're going to use it, might as well treat it as serious.
So Superman's powers can be messed up? Child's play for Surfer.

Draining and sealing off Super Skaar's Old Power?
Disrupting Vision's internal electrical energies?
Disrupting Wonder Man's internal ionic energies?
Draining Firelord of his cosmic energy
Threatening to down Gladiator with a specific radiation?
Destroying part of Mruungo Muu's power source?
Transmuting away the gills of ancient Atlanteans under water?
Transmuting Amon (who was in semi gaseous form) into liquid?
Surfing the Crunch energies to take down Tenebrous and Aegis?Those were just off the top of my head. There are more examples.
In that scan, Warrior one outright admits Surfer is more powerful than him but lacks the skill to use that power against him, because you know...Warrior One is the greatest warrior in the known universe according to Surfer's cosmic senses. There's also the scan where Surfer is afraid that the fight between them would cause untold damage to the planet and it's citizens.
That's the dilemma with really powerful heroes. Don't expect them to go full out when there's civilians around.
Awesome post.
