1. When a star actually forms into a blackhole, it doesn't become a spec sized one. So applying the logic of an actual stars mass doesn't qualify here. And mass in general, is irrelevant for this feat because Superman isn't holding it up against gravity. The blackhole was floating mid air when Superman grabbed the device. He's not struggling against the weight, he's only struggling against the gravity that's leaking out2. Superman grabbed it before it fully released. Meaning he's basically reinforcing the strength of the containment device (with his grip strength) to keep it in. The blackhole did NOT fully break out of the device (while) in the palm of his hand. That's not stated NOR implied.
All we know is he's struggling against a non fully released dust sized blackhole. it's unknown exactly how much gravity hit him before GL helped him hold it and before they reinforced the device with Supermans static electricity and GLs magnetic field, period.
1a. yes it does, it becomes infinitely small. Research it. The size doesn’t matter it’s the mass. A star has to be a certain amount of mass before it can become a black hole.
2. Sure it was floating due to the magnetic field that was negating the blackhole’s gravity and pull. The device was holding the blackhole by a magnetic field. In order to release it, you get rid of the magnetic field, or turn it off. When this was done, the blackhole was getting released and this is what happened.
Superman puts his hand around it and the distortions stop.
Did the magnetic field get turned back on? Of course not,
Superman’s hand was then doing the job of the magnetic field.
Once the blackhole was in Superman’s hand it was completely released. He was holding a blackhole that’s 10’s of times the mass of a sun. Insane feat.
