I'll leave this here...

And I hope its the size of the Chattahoochee river when I post it.

Yes, it's the John Byrne version. We been knew dis, Carver.

Then how is this a "strength" feat per say ?

Thank you, almighty. Good to know there still are some decent beings on this site.

So, Supes gets all of his feats from the beginning of Post-Crisis era to Pre-DoS crossover story arc?

He gets like 6-7 years of feats, yes? 1985 - 1992?

Because both times he lifted the mountain standing on the ground.

Sure, but his feats then become, Superman momentarily lifts mountain over head.

Way different than intended.

He went into the air with it. Which changes the feat given that he says it becomes nearly weightless to him when he flies.

TBH it was only Byrne who did that. Later on Superman used his super strength to lift things, not force of will.

And it certainly didn't made everything near weightless.

Can’t find the part where he drops it either.

Well yeah, but that's the age of Superman we're discussing. I'm glad that's not the case anymore though.

And I'm sure not everything was near weightless, but Superman did say it became easier to lift as he flew with it, which muddles feats tremendously.

Byrne only stuck for one year. The rest of the writers never followed up on "force of will" part.

Only under Byrne. Later writers had Superman lift things with superstrength only.

This is.

Identical to this.

That seems fair to me. It was stupid anyway.

Thor just straight stops an airliner, no need to worry about breaking it apart.

You think stopping airliners is difficult?

Superman moves a giant spaceship (600 miles long) towing Earth and Moon (whose mass is disputed to be nullified).

Major context with this ft. MAJOR CONTEXT.

Uh-huh. Let's see what you think it is. I don't claim he pushed Earth or Moon. Just the spaceship.

Hey was the ship flying on it's own? if it was, then why did superman have to push it?

if hes pushing the ship, he's practically the engine and is towing the earth, moon and the ship.

Like a tugboat that broke down towing another boat. A new tugboat comes in, tows the broke down tugboat and the other boat connected to that broke down tugboat.
