War of the Supermen storyline.I was being generous to Gladiator, as name Elite Kryptonians like Ursa and definitely Non are WELL above Gladiator in strength. Superman directly physically overpowered and outmuscles both of them simultaneously, twice.
Hell, 16 year old Kryptonians like post-Birthright Supergirl can 2-3 shot dominate a base-level Elite top tier Class 100(at minimum) level Superman and 2 shot KO'd Ultraman. Ursa specifically overpowered her in that same story.
Superman literally directly overpowered 5 adult male Kryptonian soldiers simultaneously with a single limb to two of their arms each. All New Kryptonians were defined as being the most powerful beings on Earth, on a par with 'Superman level' i.e. a generic term for Elite top tier in DC. Supergirl, previously established as being above base level Superman, was equal to another 16 year old New Kryptonian
Hell, Superman was also outmucling multiple time displaced versions of Gog II, where a single one teamwrecked the JSA, including Earth 22(psuedo Kingdom Come) Superman, and he also fought Source Amped Infinity Man to a stalemate.
Ah. sounds very interesting, you have that specific scan confirming those 5 New Kryptonians as being most powerful beings on Earth?
