Couple things, no regular human stood under the beam, and it's definitely a weapon as well, as it was going to kill every living thing on the planet, plus it had the murder-tentacles to drive home the murder-y aspect.
Given the beam was able to displace many many millions of tons of water and Superman stood up and few through it with enough force to destroy it (with the World Engine itself being durable enough to withstand its own mass (which has been calculated to be about 52 billion tons) plummeting into the Earth at a minimum of mach 24 (stated in the film), and given that per the narrative Superman did all of this while weakened due to it terraforming Earth's atmosphere to be more like Krypton, I'm thinking Superman solos both Hulks, Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet, Monsterverse Godzilla and Kong, and probably even John McClane tbh.
