What a weird argument.It doesn't matter what each hero can do on average. In a battle, where we have a legion of heroes compete against each other, we usually always look at the 2-4 top dogs and then try to decide between them. All the others are non-factors.
So even though Rogue absorbed the powers of Iceman, it didn't mean much in the strength department. It was adding up for sure, but the literal heavy lifting was done by other heroes. Heroes like Hyperion, Hulk, Blue Marvel. Rogue was being teleported all over the planet so that she could collect other peoples power and use that in the attempt to stop Exitar.
So all these mountains you're talking about automatically don't mean shit, because having Hyperions power alone allows Rogue to keep two Earths and potentially entire universes from colliding with each other. It allows her to slow down planets bigger than Earth traveling at 500.000 miles per hour.
Not saying that Superman can't replicate those two feats... but then you also give Rogue Hulks strength and I'm sure that Carver will be more than happy to tell you all the things Hulk has done. What about Blue Marvel? Dude almost split a moon in half by throwing a piece of metal at it. What about Hercules? Did Rogue have his power as well? Dude held the heavens up.
And then you have Death Seed Sentry supporting her against Exitar, the most powerful superhero Marvel had ever seen.I mean... Will you honestly make the argument that Superman rivals Amped Rogues and Sentrys power? You can't be serious.
Exitar is one of the most powerful celestials. There has to be a limit to what punching, kicking and heat vision can accomplish. And that's all Superman can do.But that again leads us to this weird debate about the two versions of Superman: The one, where he is simply to most powerful Kryptonian, yet still has his clear limits... and the other where he is a metafictional character, who HAS to win, because he HAS to save to do, so he DOES win all the time no matter how big the threat is. And I'm not a fan of that version of Superman, because it only appears in very select stories, where certain writers jerk off into an envelope and send that in.
This is Sundipped Superman. Not normal Superman.

Not great it seems. Entropy Aegis comes and oneshots all of them in one panel.

http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/24028868/Man_Of_Steel_117_pg13.jpg.htmlNow Warworld's tendril that was connecting to Earth. It was so strong that a suicide attempt by Maxima and Massacre was just enough to send a shiver through it.

http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/24028865/Man_Of_Steel_117_pg11.jpg.htmlEntropy Aegis severed it in one attack though. The tendrils healed back.

http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/24028868/Man_Of_Steel_117_pg13.jpg.htmlAnd even Themyscira thrown to the tendril barely caused any trouble to it.

http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/24028872/Man_Of_Steel_117_pg15.jpg.htmlSuperman, Captain Marvel and Captain Atom were unable to do anything to it apparently, so they went in to divert B13's attention. So far so good.
Until B13 makes the tendrils a hundred times more powerful and even Entropy Aegis is useless.
Superman sundipped and effortlessly broke the conduits/tendrils magnified hundredfold in power when normal Superman couldn't take it on at normal level along with several top tiers.

http://i738.photobucket.com/albums/xx28/PhilosophiaKMC/supessundips15.jpgSuperman was at least powered up by a factor of hundreds.
Sundipped Superman is hundreds of times stronger than normal Superman. Exitar will be scrap under such power, heck just Brainiac 13 with Warworld was Exitar level, Superman overpowered Brainiac when he also had Imperiex's power.
