Is that not how it works? If someone's stature is completely different in that story, don't we deem it as non-canon? Does this somehow change because its Superman?

Marvel handbook states the same.
The feat is literally identical. It's ultimately unquantifiable, but a great transcendant feat that's normally reserved for ungodly strong individuals.. Not really surprising for folks like Superman or Hercules..

Like for example the world tree is at or the representation of the cosmic axis for Asgardian mythology.The feat is literally identical.

It was even drained to free Atlas and remake world.

It’s why Atlas’ bio says that he bore heavens weight on his shoulders, which is exactly what Herc did when he took Atlas’ place.
And it’s based on the Greek myth of Hercules, which is obviously what Superman’s story is referencing.

Yes.
Or X-Men First Class, Uncanny X-Men First Class or Weapon X First Class.
X-Men and Spider-Man, X-Men and Fantastic Four minis.
Or several hundreds other "untold tales" happening in the past.
It's... not a new thing, lol.

Gotta agree with Smurph here.
Not sure why Abhi hates Marvel Herc so much? Unlike Thor, he's actually pretty fun to read... and he never posed any thread to abhi's favorite farmboy, so I really don't understand this hostility against him.
