Umm, yes I was.

It's been an unwritten rule for years that we don't take characters that are mentally compromised as being able to operate at their full capacity. I feel like I'm going to have to actually write it down.
You can't be serious
she endured punishment MEANT for Doomsday. She did smoother stuff too, but that mainly. Blatantly stated in the comic, the showing is arguably usable, I don't see an issue with it, I can post THE scans and explain why Supes being "mind controlled" is absolutely irrelevant.

Rucka himself said that Superman out his mind in grief and rage. That he isn't acting at all like Superman would. The comic is pretty clear in showing that.
You can use it for some things, but not as any kind of measure of how Superman would perform under normal circumstances.

No, he wasn't. Holding back less =/= better.It's no coincidence that almost all his best feats happen when he's in control of himself and actually acting in a way consistent with his own character.

And? He still used them sloppily and with nothing approaching the skill or concentration he's shown on multiple occasions.
Superman was mentally compromised, and operated in a manner completely different to how he usually would. The comic shows this. The writer said this. Trying to paint it as some high feat when he has multiple higher feats that contradict it, and the argument won't hold much weight at all.
