Pre-crisis Superboy was strong enough to effortlessly tow 13 planets(that I could count) behind him. Not only that, but he towed those planets a ridiculously vast distance(across the fuking universe) in a short amount of time: [img=http://s4d4.turboimagehost.com/t/14186670_v1.jpg]
^ Superboy towing planets effortlessly in one scene, then nearly knocking himself out by shoulder-tackling with the power of 1,000 h-bombs. Makes sense.
Technically an H-bomb could have an arbitrarily large yield, depending on the reactant used. In the Lobo series for example there was an alien nuclear reactor that blew up a planet.
No more inconsistent than the sum total of a Guardian's power being equated to a dozen hurricanes. Or Superman being incapacitated by a force equal to a million nuclear blasts, despite having survived supernovas beforehand. Or Zoom getting hit/KOd by a rock thrown by Power Girl. Or Superman singing Darkseid away. Or Doom out-thinking Reed[]. Etc. Etc. Etc. Inconsistencies happen all the time in comics. It's nothing new.
The point is that we know what PC Superboy and Mon-El were capable of-- yet we know that PC Val was far stronger than either of them.
Besides, like I said, it's not even necessarily inconsistent, since the yield was never specified. Besides, the Legion of Superheroes takes place 1000 years in the future, where their nukes are bound to be a lot more powerful than the ones we have now.

@Galan. perhaps, but then it becomes faulty to use superboy in a portrayal where he was powerful enough to tow solar systems worth of planets as a basis for displaying Validus' strength when in his actual battle against Validus he was getting rocked by the power of a 1000 h bombs...
Moroever the reference to an hbomb is clearly an attempt to estimate power using a reference point the reader will be familiar with. It has absolutely nothing to do with future bombs and there is absolutely no room for speculation about the bomb yield being greater than normal. There isn't even any bomb in the scene in question.
