They were wrong though. Wraith was on the planet during that time and it was proven and shown via fights that Wraith was more powerful and more versatile.https://i.imgur.com/ZaZCTXc.jpg
He also tanked the blackhole bullets that messed Superman up...
This...
I鈥檇 probably have to read the Wraith storyline before I could give my thoughts on the scans.

This applies to Hulk as well in Marvel. It's mentioned continuously that he is the most powerful being on the planet, the same planet that Zeus live on. He isn't the most powerful. Both are close to it but they have people above them.
I think there鈥檚 a difference in being the strongest being on the planet and being the most powerful. Same thing with Flash being the fastest I don鈥檛 think it makes him the most powerful.
I think power has a number of variables. It鈥檚 not just how strong, fast or durable you are. It could also be how versatile you are, how you use your powers, and the equipment you have and could call upon.
I think a case could legitimately be made for Superman if you look through his entire history. Where he鈥檚 done stuff like absorb magical energy, phase through attacks, move so fast it was like time was frozen, used his heat vision to lobotomize. That鈥檚 versatility on top of power. Again it could just be a statement but you could make a genuine case for Superman being the most powerful being on the planet if you play up all his ability and powers off feats already shown.
