Live action Kryptonian rankings?

Just curious to know how or if other Superman fans throughout the franchise's series have ranked different iterations of Superman/various other Kryptonians. For those of us who haven't watched Smallville or other Superman shows, what are your rankings for the various portrayals of Kryptonians throughout the years?
From Tier 1 down to the lowest who are the most powerful versions of Zod/Non/Supergirl or other Kryptonians if you cared to rank them?

I've got to think the movie Kryptonians are the most powerful, going by better special effects budget/what Superman himself was shown to do.
So, Chis Reeve Kryptonians followed by MoS Kryptonians.
After that, probably CBS Supergirl Kryptonians then Smallville then Lois & Clark.

Those are the only ones i'm aware of, and i may very well be wrong on the TV hierarchy (though i stand firm on the two movies).
Hope this gets the ball rolling for you.

I asked this question at HC and got some feedback.
I sit corrected i guess. Apparently Smallville Superman is above Reeve, which surprised the hell out of me!

Based on what? His best showing is pushing Apokolips.

That was the feat, yes.
The way it was put, Reeve's speed feat (saving lois) and strength feat (tectonic plates) was below that.

If you dont agree, please say why and i'll pass it along.
I considered Reeve basically a Pre Crisis version, and thought for sure he was number one.

Smallville Superman is the most powerful. He was comfortably FTL in combat speed, and also pushed the Saturn-sized Apokolips and threw it away out of the Solar System, which is a huge feat even for comic Superman.

I haven't watched it in a long time, but when was he FTL in reaction speed?

He's running about 10m, while electricity is standing still. That's far beyond lightspeed.

Ah true i suppose.

So how fast does one have to be to reverse the rotation of the earth and turn back time? Even Cher couldnt actually do it, she just said what she'd do if she could.
