Can Superman match this Gladiator strength feat?

Gladiator destroying a planet in a few hits, current Superman can do this without any problem but this is post crisis Superman, Byrnes version after COIE up until just before the N52 Supes, can this much weaker Superman match the feat?

No, he cannot.

Flew threw a planet several times and then hit it in its weakened state as a finishing blow?

Before New 52? Ridiculously exceeds it.

No he cannot.

When did he fly through that planet several times? Where is it stated that he weakened that planet?

The third panel in the first scan he shown flying into the planet. I presumed at the very least

Second scan last panel we see him finally emerging outside of the planet. With other planets visible. The panel before the last panel suggest “Causes him to finally surface” the first panel in the next page suggest he “returns to the void of space” it implies he was burrowing through the planet. That would therefore be weakening it.

3rd scan fourth panel we see lines driven through the planet. Maybe the planet is strangely designed like that but I assumed it was Gladiator flying through it multiple times.

He even turns back towards the planet blast it with his heat vision before landing on it and hitting it.

That was a star he flew through.

Superman broke the chains that can haul stars between galaxies (more than trillions of time more than Gladiator's feat)

Superman benched the Earth (multiple times greater than Glad's feat).

Just so you know. The planet was smaller than Mars (it had no atmosphere). Think of one of Jupiter's largest moons with a slight atmosphere.

You're asking if Superman could fly through a star (lol) and then use his power to punch a planet to bits?

Of course he could.

Even the Byrne version when he first appeared?appeared.....although he did become much more powerful over the years just before the N52 version of himself.

Scaling to Mon-El:

This was Lar Gand, early post crisis Mon-El.

Superman matched him several times, including when amped by Eclipso:

And by Death of Superman:

Destructive force of a nova put him down.

Was the Doomsday fight that really started all the crazy feats Superman. Once he came back he started moving the moon, fighting gods, etc.

The way you worded it left it unclear, but I took it as Superman at any point up to New 52.

Later on, yes before DOS, Superman would be thrown in the Sun, after Eradicator had turned it red, twice, and wasn't seriously hurt.

Exactly.
