That's not a swap, it's an extension of his family. Like The Signal or Batwing.

I feel this is one of feats that is ignored due to it's eclipsed by Superboy's "pulling an entire galactic inhabited planets with smile at his face"

But in here, Superboy quickly pushes an entire huge planets to create an enough gravitational pull to steer a star from its path, while he was being weakened by said star's unknown components

Superboy is Kal-El/Clark here

I know it wasn't answered, but any guesses as to whose shoulder LT is perched on here?:

Given that Scarlet Witch scene is stated to have taken place in the Megaverse, i think the implication is the red guy is the red member of "The Brothers" from the DC vs Marvel crossover of the 90s:

Following the X-men Adventures retcon, said Brothers were stated to have become guardians of their respective Megaverses:

Classic Beyonder has always been described as a "child unit" relative to the true Beyonders...

This was only true for a time and then following reaching maturity the indication was he then became a fully fledged member of the Ivory Kings:

And in this series, Beyonder himself stated that he was only imbued with a "sliver" of their power:

IOW, the true Beyonders/Ivory Kings are indeed > classic Beyonder by orders of magnitude. So the fact that they have the low showings they do is... Pretty wild.

I dont know if we can assert that The Beyonder is less than any individual member of the Ivory Kings. Any member of the Ivory Kings would be less than their collective. Him possessing a sliver of the collective power of their entire race doesn't denote inferiority. I just took it as a reference to the Hickman retcon of how the Beyonders create new Beyonders i.e. facilitating the creation of cosmic cubes by sharing a fragment of their collective power, which in turn results in a fully fledged new member of the Ivory Kings race upon maturity. Beyonder called the Ivory Kings his people in the scan I shared above. There was no indication of any inferiority, but instead a statement of joining them as a peer once he had reached his current stage of development.

Speaking of the Marvel Hierarchy, how powerful is Wanda? Just below the Living Tribunal?

Scarlet Witch Annual (2023) #1

Wanda as standard is classic Thor/herald level, with the ability to scale up to Abstract level via her nature as a nexus being that allows her to act as a conduit for the universes ambient mystical energies.

However attaining such a power level requires ritual and preparation and it isnt a level and scope she has at her fingertips. Itd be like ranking Rogue or Captain Marvel based on their potential rather than their standard, immediately available power.

How impressive would this feat be? Breaking a lock apart that's made from a neutron star? Neutron stars are very dense and heavy, but that's in the gravitational field of one, not sure how it would work on Earth.

Can't see the scan because imgur doesn't work for me anymore.

It could be interpreted as made from the matter of a neutron star, or actually an entire one.

For context, one teaspoon of neutron star matter is 10 million tons.

A teaspoon is about 5mL, any way to see how much it would take to make a lock?

It would depend on how large the lock is.

But what's particularly impressive is the durability the lock would have, not the weight. Our Sun makes up over 99% of the mass in our solar system. A neutron star has roughly the same mass as our Sun, but is so dense it's only 12 miles in diameter.

This might also be relevant.

The problem is that these states of matter are only stable under the gravity and pressure generated by a neutron star. In you took a teaspoon of it to Earth it would just blow up.

You can't push a neutron star either, it's made of gas you'd just fly through it. Yet Mon-El still pushed a neutron star.

Comic rules are comic rules, the writers just do whatever.

No it's solid. The outer crust is an iron lattice, and as you go through it you have more neutron-dense isotopes (nickel, selenium, germanium, etc.) eventually reaching a point where the nucleons can't hold on to the neutrons anymore and you have a drip into a neutron superfluid.

Except we don't get to selectively cherry-pick physics when we quantify it.

Right.

I'm just saying quantifying feats using real world science is kind of dumb, in the sense it gives writers way too much credit. And a far bigger problem, it contradicts their own narratives.

Case in point, on CBR Storm Shadow stomped Snake Eyes and Cassandra Cain no diffed Lady Shiva. The reason came down to who dodged a bullet and who didn't. The fact the writers own narrative VERY clearly placed them as equals and close rivals who trade wins and losses is irrelevant.

It's dumb.

Like ctdm pointed put, comics. The Pulsar computer Lobo pulled down was made from a neutron star.

Second neutron star level feat for Jon.

Originally posted by abhilegend

Not too shabby

Interesting enough, when Jon later faced Ultraman, he exhausted himself by outputting all his energy.
Ultraman took the beating and still could move himself while Jon was helpless

Also by the same writer

That's not a neutron star feat that's a reference to a neutron star, we don't know if it's meant to be literal or not. But even if we assume it is literal then it's categorically a different feat because it's compared to overcoming the pull of the surface gravity of a neutron star.

It's lifting the mass of a fraction of neutron star
