Explain how it helps Zues then. Is he written stronger now than 15 years ago but, but when they revisit the old story, he was always that strong?Because I fail to see how explaining power scaling in relation to early 90s Superman to you, helps Zues at all in this debate.
Well you have the Hulk on one side of the fence, and Superman on the other. Zeus wrecked house with the Hulk, but not just any Hulk, he did this to a Hulk capable of ramping up instantly to what was seen during the Heart of the Monster, and do so while remaining in a relatively calm state. As opposed to Doomsday wrecking house on Superman, and the rest of the characters that he dominated convincingly during Hunter Prey. Power scaling works on both sides of the fence in this case, because Zeus did not actually have any feats to to date that placed him at the level of power shown when he tore into the Hulk. A lot of people if asked who would win between Zeus and the Green Scar (WB Hulk) would have said, what feats does Zeus actually have to say that he would win, until he did win to the point of it being ugly.
This brings us back to the what strength feats does Zeus have to make claim that he would last an instant against Doomsday, and in reply, one would only need say what strength feats does Doomsday have? did he lift a planet, blow up a dimension with a punch? What did he actually do other than beating up on Darkseid that may or may not have been the true Darkseid. What made people automatically jump to the conclusion that Superman was written to be as strong as Zeus? It really all comes down to opinion. However I was a lot more impressed with Wb Hulk's upper level feats than Doomsday's.
