I'm only going off of that JLA issue where Green Arrow (?) says, (Starbreaker) played with our most powerful members, showing SM, GL and Flash. Don't know if the fight was shown in a previous issue or not, but it took Sargon to find a way to defeat Starbreaker by attacking him with emotional energy.

Or, just as likely, perhaps some of these people not only think of Mxy's penchant for "tweaking" other people, whether that be by amping OR depowering them, but also first read of a different instance where someone with pre-Crisis Superman-level powers sneezed ...

Different showings happen.

The only thing I think is pis, is someone with Supermans powers sneezing at all from normal things. He generally doesn't get sick, drunk, sleep deprived, or anything else that affects us mere mortals..

Not surprised you're here to low-key argue against Superman.

You give too much credit to these people. The fact that you said "just as likely" proves your intentions.

Kal-L blew out a star(well Golden Age Superman, which would apply to Kal-L by retcon but I digress), and the scene indicated Superman knew what would happen if he sneezed, not Mxy amped him. Or do you think Superman would have flown the distance he did if Mxy increased his powers without his knowledge? Given what you're trying to argue, he'd leave the atmosphere tops.

Magnon
PC Superman's power-level was absurd. There might not be any herald who could survive an all-out punch from him. We have seen even the likes of Juggernaut and Brit take damage, which means that Superman would take them out as well.

Perhaps some beings who can exist without a physical body on astral plane would survive their body being annihilated, depending on how their consciousness works. For example, Iceman's consciousness might disperse too thin if his body was suddenly atomized across the galaxy, preventing him from reforming.

Facee
Looney Tunes Lobo would survive.

Similarly, I'm surprised you took nearly 20 hours to leave a response to me here. Perhaps even somewhat disappointed and concerned; you used to be more reliable than some of the timepieces I've owned.

Regarding this particular issue?

Ultimately too much inconsistency to warrant much time on this.
And too hard to search. Probably take as much effort to find it as it did to find Wonder Woman's solo moon pull, 'cause people are absolutely LOUSY about providing reference information.
At least thanks to the following thread I know that Mxy-amped Galaxy sneeze occurred in Action Comics #273:

Stoic
PC Superman and the sneeze that shook the universe was one of those silly moments in comics, and could easily be classified as an outlier type feat. After all, it was an extremely rare showing. All the same, he was certainly above the top Herald pay grade. The Silver Surfer being the top tier Herald of that era came close to mirroring many of PC Superman's average showings but he was never quite as resilient to all of the things that PC Superman could withstand.

The answer to the OP is simple. No Herald, not the Juggernaut, Surfer, Thor, or even present day Superman could withstand the ridiculous amounts of power that PC Superman could muster in his most powerful punch.

Er, ok.

I read the entire thread. Terrible argument. His entire argument rests on the assumption because they keep saying magic, that it means the sneezing powder amped the sneeze. He says "what was blatant" and "clear" but it requires reaching to conclude that. The only thing made clear was it being magic meant Superman could be affected by it. His defense about others not sneezing significantly because..... Superman inhaled a lot more, requires ignoring that it didn't show to do anything more than make them sneeze. No indication their sneezes were amped. He even brought up Superman can't sneeze on command as if it's relevant to this being a feat of power.

You try to argue because Mxy has messed with Superman's powers before, but the scans(of the sneeze) show no indication that Mxy is trying to mess with Superman's powers. So nope, all we see is the sneezing powder just made him sneeze, not amped it.

Well that was a sneeze, and not a punch if ya wanna be technical about it. Outlier it is then, nuff said.

Jimmy Olsen, as the first person to touch Clark after Mxy's spell was cast, specifically directly lifted a full three-fourths, 75%, of Superman's powers:

https://s7d4.turboimg.net/t1/38841008_image.jpg



If 100% of a pre-Crisis Superman sneeze would take out a solar system, then even 50% of a pre-Crisis Superman sneeze should take out planet Earth.

It doesn't, and Jimmy has NO reason even subconsciously to check his sneeze, not even having been aware that he HAD Kryptonian power at that point.

So the solar system destroying sneeze is either an EXTREME outlier as far as Pre-Crisis Superman is concerned, or the idea that his sneezes would do that on their own is wrong and Mxy's Magic accounts for the ridiculous joke-level magnitude of the sneeze's power.

Or Jimmy controlled and stopped it.



When mxy sprinkled him with his magic dust, he lost control and had to sneeze. Before sneezing he flew to a dead universe because he knew he could destroy the entire solar system.

There was nothing that stated it was an amped sneeze, just that he was made to sneeze.

He flew to a dead universe in a single panel and then back. This implies a much greater speed feet. not only did he travel out of our universe but possibly many more universes before he found a dead universe and let out his sneeze. This isn't like he was at a portal and checked out different universes, he had to fly and cross universes until he got to the dead one. For a being with that kind of self powered flight speed, the force from his lungs should be enough to blot out a solar system and more with a sneeze.
