Searched Wikipedia. The original ASM scene is featured in the 2nd issue of that series.
Interesting to note the writers for Kara's show double the weight of the All-Star Superman key AND have a 3rd party say Kara's faster than Superman.

Anyway, I like what that ASM scene inspired.
That was pretty cool to watch on the show.

Yah, I realised in the first panel.Btw, for those wondering, this is a reminder of ASM's strength level:
Notable for having two Scots writing and drawing it. Morrison and Quitely.
Why notable?
The British 'quintillion' is much larger than the US quintillion. Much much larger.
He punched it, i think.
Why do sharp objects cut or penetrate a surface?
It's all about pressure.
Pressure = Force / Area
A sharp object has a very small cross sectional area, so it will apply a much larger pressure, under a given force, than an object with a much larger area.
In other words, it has a greater cutting potential.
The key can either hit the contestants on its flat side or its thin side. The difference in pressure would be tens of times different.
But assuming the flat side then the pressure would be astronomical because of the sheer force.
With that said, the ground would not only have to be durable as shit but the coefficient of friction on Superman's feet has to be astronomical (unless he is flying as he throws it).
If your using everyone here at there best, the key would just fling a lot of them back... that's looking at the things their hide has withstood. Thor shot by Celestials without damage. Hulk withstanding an ongoing bite that was capable of crushing adamantium. Surfer hit by a big bang. Etc...
Majority of them withstand this.

The key:
Why "wouldn't" a key you can put in your pocket be safer?
Safest place to leave a key is not to leave a key.
