He's shown to have enhanced speed in what seemed to be a lesser armor when he fought Deathstroke, and the fight with Supergirl might have shown greater than normal speed(or just an artist effect).
I don't know what you're referring to about him unable to take a door Cyborg did. Issue reference? His fight against Brainiac makes me scratch my head about that. Brainiac's strength does vary outside of his ship depending on how long he's been out. This is the weakest I've seen him, two comics(ACTION COMICS #871 and #872) prior to ADVENTURE COMICS(V2 I think) #0 they stated he was losing muscle mass, then we see he's definitely much smaller. Still casually snaps necks.

Out of his ship for some amount of time, treats Superboy and Krypto like this.

Plus the fight with Kara, Kryptonite or not. I think it's safe to say that Luthor in his armor is stronger than Black Panther.
Not sure what the limits to Panther's vibranium taking energy are. For what it's worth, he killed 3 OMACs with a blast.
At the worst, I'd think the blasts tearing up the ground would keep him a bit off balanced(unless "featureless environment" is indestructible).
As for the dagger, it's going to get through a force field? Most of the time it's not visible, but he's stated before he was protected from an attack by a force field, which wasn't visible.
