Superman can't do it if we exclude feats and statements.
Sounds about right.

I've been very outspoken in the past about that "feat" and I still am, because in my eyes that feat goes against absolutely everything Superman should stand for.
In the time it took Superman to perform the feat (5 days), countless people died. Superman could have saved many of these people, but instead he was doing jumping jacks in a machine. Even the argument of Superman testing his limits or whatever is absolutely, positively, ridiculously dumb. Superman properly written wouldn't be wasting 5 days for such nonsense. Instead he would be out there and trying to save people, because that's what Superman does.That's why I don't even acknowledge that feat. It was just a dream. No, a nightmare actually.
But I mean, that doesn't matter.
Of course it was stupid. It's basically his greatest quantifiable strength feat ever. Far more high end than the others given the endurance it took and the lack of sunlight.
But that doesn't mean it didn't happen. In the next issue Superman got held down by a zombie dragon. Does that mean the dragon could bench press the planet for 6 days or something? No, of course not, but as stupid as all that was , it was a canon feat.
I'm just bringing it up because you're going to get slammed for disregarding feats based on personal opinion. Even if I'm in agreement with you that indeed, a lot of people died so that Superman could flex his muscles lol.

You used Superman's statement that DS is the only being in the universe that can destroy a planet.Why do you say "I don't know" when you tried to use the statement in a debate???
Why even use it?
I used it because it fits the discussion that was had during the moment, AND, Superman said it. Why wouldnt I post it? Let's put it like this... if Thor wouldve said it, you all wouldve been all over it.

Why use a statement to downplay another on panel feat?
What was the point of the statement? That Superman can’t destroy a planet? That only Darkseid can? Because going by that statement, you can’t pick and choose when it applies. It doesn’t just fit “this” discussion. You try to use this statement and you need to apply all the time. After all, you just tried to pass it off as a fact
Otherwise why post it?

Exclude off panel feats and statements, that was what I said.
Who said anything about off panel feats?
With just on panel feats? Shadow moon is the safest bet for planet-busting, but the total mass wasn't clear either.
Superman has destroyed a planet at least 4 times on panel.

5 days trying to find a limit to his strength were a time well-spent in comparison to poking in his nose while at work or listening to Lois getting her holes fucked by another man.
You underestimate the man.
I'm sure Abighail has half a dozen scan of Superman lifting heavy shit while someone runs a train on Lois.

The fact is, he hasn't destroyed anything on that scale except the shared feat with Earth-2 Superman.
That wasn't shared feat. With every punch Superman was destroying the world.
Show the scans then, pretty sure I've seen all of them and they were debunked.

Superman destroys a planet size chunk of the source wall, to fill the gap a planet is sucked in the source wall.
Also, if he's a multi-planet buster like you said, pulling the moon fast enough shouldn't be too hard for him to accomplish on his own, let alone keeping the Earth in orbit.
The speeding moon you mean? Above planet level force.
He was weakened in JLA 75. In JLA 29 he restored Earth's orbit with Hal Jordan when it was displaced by Starbreaker.
