Comma Between Coordinate Adjectives
When multiple adjectives modify a noun to an equal degree, they are said to be coordinate and should be separated by commas. One way to tell whether the adjectives are coordinate is to try switching the order of them. If the sentence still sounds natural, the adjectives are coordinate.

The writer has separated them with a comma. I don't see why it is wrong to say that they modify the noun to an equal degree (i.e. both powerful and tenacious are equally weighted).
No they are not. He's looking for " the MOST tenacious". You cannot apply the word " most" to the word " powerful " in that statement like that clown is trying to do. He's looking for powerful beings, but he want the MOST tenacious ones. The word " most " only applies to the word tenacious. Not powerful in that statement.

"you don't have to know about previous continuity" =/= "the book itself is out of continuity"
The creative team was told to write the book in a way which does not alienate new readers. So in order to achieve that all they had to to do was introduce new storylines and characters which don't depend on previously released comicbooks. The actual book itself (UP in the Sky) does not need to be non-canon in order to appeal to the general audience. Unless something in the book specifically contradicts established continuity I don't see why it should be treated as non-canon
The Flash being much, much faster than Superman and Batman not being a little pussy, who cries for any superheroes to save him... I think that's very well established in continuity.
And in that comic (which I somewhat liked actually) you had Superman take a break and then still manage to RUN past the Flash. I think we all know that would never happen in a canon DC comic. We also know that Batman would never cry for "any superheroes" to save him in a canon comic.
No idea how anyone can think "Superman: Up in the Sky" is canon.
How dumb can you be? Well, it's ALL Superman fans so... Anyway, let me dumb this down.. the guy is looking for the MOST tenacious... Now Superman fans listen and try and keep up... There are tenacious beings out there, BUT the guy is looking for a specific group, the most tenacious ones are that specific group. Now by him saying powerful and not most powerful, he includes them all because there are a lot of powerful beings out there. But he only wants the most tenacious ones. So that eliminates a lot of them no matter their power levels. Really simple.

No they are not. All you have to do is turn it around. If he would have said.. hire the MOST powerful, tenacious beings in the universe to stop you. He NOW wants the most powerful beings. Now how do you get the MOST tenacious beings out of that? All they have to be is tenacious to qualify in that aspect. Now let's look at the word powerful, now in order to qualify, what must you be? You can be powerful, but there's a condition you must meet.

But if I were to say, I want to hire the most tenacious, powerful rats to clear my field of grain and someone says I got powerful rats I can let you use, they would have to SEPARATE those rats because I ONLY want the MOST tenacious ones. But if I wanted the powerful ones only, then I would get them ALL. To say the MOST tenacious, you cannot go any higher, to say powerful without the word most in front of it, you can go higher. But to you Superman fans, powerful in that statement means you cannot go any higher. So genius, answer this question.. Are there any beings more powerful than the ones in that book in that universe?
This must be trolling because when you are a grown up and everyone points you to a mistake you at least have the humility to check on the issue yourself instead of going "everyoone but me is wrong"

So you’re saying that the house you’re family is squatting in, is infested by rats?
For the love of God, can you people stop talking about commas?
