Even if they didn't go to Pluto, the distance covered is far more impressive. Jane Thor confronted Odin on Asgardia. IIRC, Asgardia was in orbit around Saturn at the time. So they bounced from Saturn to Jupiter distance-wise.

But Jane Thor actively fought Odin while they were bouncing around the moons. She didn't just get carried the entire way. She summoned a planet-sized superstorm, even. Fight didn't even seem close to ending as Odin relented once he sensed that Freya had been backstabbed.

Anyway, like you and others have pointed out, the Bizarro fight isn't even out yet.

Looks like Jason Aaron is setting Superman up to be similar to Thor's run

Well, I felt like, tackling Superman for the first time, I couldn't do something small, right? On one hand, it's a three issue story, but the issues are 30 pages so there's still room to pack a lot of stuff in there. I didn't want to come out and make a small statement. I wanted to lean into the same way I felt when I took over Thor, like writing the God of Thunder, one of the most powerful figures in this entire universe. I needed to, in my mind, make a similar statement with Superman for my first time writing him.

So yeah, I wanted to go big in every way. The first fight we see between Superman and Bizarro is a colossal battle that spans the whole solar system. And then Bizarro strikes at Superman in a way that profoundly changes Metropolis, which will lead to issue two where those threads continue to build and strike at Superman in increasingly more challenging ways.

could be another gorr like story arc coming soon

What happened to the Superman that said time+ distance and some other stuff have no meaning for him. Are they going to pursue that power up or is it forgotten already? C’mon Prepman you have to whip those dc editor in shape. What the heck are they doing there?

Jason Aaron is known for his Dragon Ball-esque fights, and if that didn't give it away then the preview certainly did.

If this is a three-issue story then there's not much of a set up. But who knows, maybe Bizarro is about to destroy the Earth to find a way home.

Firstly, it was an empty boast. The only feats we got to substantiate his new power swas his abilitiy to create portals to cross 3,800 lightyears (and tactile telekinesis), which apparently he couldn't cross before according to Lex. So this is like taking a blanket statement such as "the power cosmic has no limits," and use it to justify why the Silver Surfer can't lose. The only statements that have ever been of any value are those which describe actual feats.

Action Comics #1050

But it's important to consider that the power-boost he got from the White Sun exposure has likely expired (as the effects from any other colored stars' light expires if he's not continuously exposed to it). Because notably, in a subsequent issue he was lightning-charged with solar radiation to recover.

Action Comics #1059

Correction, it's 25,000 light-years.

The numbers, Magnon, what do they mean?

I guess there's always the possibility to re-order the dupes by decreasing douchebagness, so let me reformulate:

Jamie Madrox dupe #1
Jamie Madrox dupe #2
Jamie Madrox dupe #3
...
Jamie Madrox dupe #100

Who?

Multiple man? I know nothing about this guy

We'd have to get into the definition of douchebag that we're using here, but... either way, the #1 spot has to be Gambit, right?

Oh, your powers include wearing a leather jacket, throwing playing cards, and saying shit with a Cajun accent?

What a douchebag.

yeah but black adam is such a dick, just general bad vibe to be around

always pissy and mad, like the racist uncle from family dinner.

imagine insane titan, but with superpower

Yeah I think he's more of a dick than a dbag tho

Emma Frost is probably also in the running for the top dbag award. I like Emma, but it is what it is.

Superman also got a picosecond level speed feat in Action Comics 1061.

wonder if thor has picosecond feats

picosecond is normal for dc speedsters but...
