abhi seemed to be laughing at and trying to disprove the notion of PC Kryps being scaled back in power which does contradict your acknowledgement. I'm not trying to pin down just how much they'd been scaled back, I'm simply saying that the accomplishments of the characters matters more than the PC Kryptonian title.
Pre Zero Hour Daxamites=Pre Crisis Kryptonians.

You get riled up on the tiniest things.

It depends, if that's Comicvine Surfer he solos all fiction.
The Silver Surfer, on the other hand, can win or lose against Superman depending on the settings of the fight.
If the fight comes mostly with ranged attacks, it's possible that Surfer wins more often than not.
If the fight end in an hand-to-hand situation it could end in Superman's favour because it's the main way Clark's uses to fight.

Yeah but don't forget, by the time COIE happened, in general pre crisis Kryptonians had already lost a lot of their bluster. DC had been scailing back Supes powers for a while even before they rebooted the universe. That's not to say that they weren't still impressive, just that they weren't near the hight of their power. I mean don't forget, Post Crisis Powergirl was technically a Pre Crisis Kryptonian.

That's golden age Supes, which means an alternate universe version of the character. My point is that just a character is a "PC Kryptonian" it doesn't mean that they should automatically be considered equal to silver aged Supes at the height of his power. even Pre Crisis characters function on a broad range. Post Crisis Powergirl and Superboy Prime are both Pre Crisis Kryptonians after all.

That's my point. People have a tendency to act like any showing that has a Pre Crisis Kryptonian on the other side is automatically uber in nature. I've simply been pointing out that by the time the Crisis rolled around such was not the case. That doesn't mean the showings aren't impressive, they're just not automatically staggering in nature. Mention the words "Pre Crisis Kryptonian" and a lot of people's minds immediately go to Silver Age Supes's best portrayals without acknowledging that fact.

Pocketverse=Alternate universe=not directly comparible.
You explicitly cite Power Girl as "technically still a Pre-CRISIS Kryptonian" then when Abhi posts Kal-L, you state alternate universe, and not applicable, reply to a post pointing-out Power Girl was from the same universe as Kal-L, then respond to Pocketverse as "aternate universe=not directly comparable." Your argument that Power Girl is "technically a Pre-Crisis Kryptonian" is invalid by your dismissal of Kal-L.

Speaking of weak blasts, Surfer's blasts looked weaker than even Gladiator's HV.Gladiator blasts a hole in the same hulk who wades through Surfer's blasts.
