For example, after OWAW. Superman has at least two instances explicitly moving to the speed of light( trapped in two black holes, then accelerateing to lightspeed after he found enough motivation). states to be able to race with photon in heaven's ladder. And states he can go beyond lightspeed if he wants
The only time I remember he was explicitly stated to be moving at the speed of light in Byrne era is the scenee that I mentioned in my original post, but I just cant recall the issue number....

Yeah, I remember that. But I think after Byrne era, the writers becoming more and more bold to write characters at high levelsFor example, after OWAW. Superman has at least two instances explicitly moving to the speed of light( trapped in two black holes, then accelerateing to lightspeed after he found enough motivation). states to be able to race with photon in heaven's ladder. And states he can go beyond lightspeed if he wants to
But in Byrne era he was portrayed as sub-light speed in most stories

Moving faster-than-light isn't "higher level" it's just ignoring physics. Light moves at the same speed in all inertial frames of reference. A photon will always depart from you at the speed of light regardless of how fast you're moving to an outside observer.
Comics are never mature. I mean in comics, a guy can pull an absolute zero gun and sometimes even below absolute zero gun from his ass despite he even cant graduate from high school.....

I mean, negative entropy would correspond to "below absolute zero" temperatures, but those are highly-energetic states, so they would be hot (hotter when it's close to zero).
If we can't meaningfully quantify it then we can't say that it's high-level.
Ok, I think I found that issue
So Byrne era Superman is still able to move at speed of light( in certain writers at least). And this scene is hilarious

They met quite a few times in recent years, I believe.
Kaine hated Ben, then Ben hated Kaine (example: link)... they're probably bros now, knowing how Marvel rolls.
