Lets start things out with a Bang, shall we?
Exhausted, seeking escape from the manifestation of Death the Black Racer, Lightray, in a final desperate attempt, creates a "giant, new sun" in a desperate attempt to stop his implacable foe.
Does it exhaust him? Sure does, though it must be noted that he was ALREADY tired even BEFORE he began the undertaking.
Has even a Herald level being ever done such a thing?
I think not.

Driven insane by Darkseid and Orion's tainting of the Source, Lightray believes himself to be the one TRUE god, and as such launches a deadly Pogrom upon the lesser gods, those who dwell on the Surface of New Genesis.
Orion seeks to stop his rampage, and the above is the result of at least the first part of their encounter.
Lightray makes a good accounting of himself, and then drops a piece of the Celestial City itself upon him.
Orion actually recovers almost instantly from the attack in the next page, then goes on to defeat Lightray, but the showing is an impressive one nevertheless.

Still possessed by his unbridled madness, Lightray confronts the frighteningly powerful Takion (AKA Josh Saunders) on the Moon.
The above is the result.
He accelerates from "Sub sonic...to supersonic..to lightspeed in a manner of seconds!" and seems to go above 8 times the speed of light.
Not only that, but he does extremely well against Takion, a Source Elemental and future Highfather of New Genesis.

A force field covers all of Apokalips, keeping out all intruders.
No problem for Lightray who simply creates heat equal to multiple suns to cleave it like a hot knife through butter.

Lightray circles the planet Apokalips hundreds of times in minutes, creating a net of sensitized photons all over the surface of the planet that alert him to any and all intruders.
When Metron's technology snuffs some of those photons out, to discover what is wrong Lightray creates "Light enough to fire a star!".

When Orion is held prisoner by Arnicus Wolfram and his men (using Apokaliptan Technology) and his life force is drained, his good pal Lightray comes to give him aide.
When Orion finally decides that he WANTS to escape, he creates a massive influx of Bio Energy that was too much for machines that could "power metropolis" with little problem.
Lightray absorbs that energy discharge, and returns it to his friend's captures, proving that he is quite deadly and quite badass, I think.

Here we have Lightray destroying some meteors with good ole Superman himself, proving his worth side by side with the Man of Steel.

Here we have him stunning Highfather with a single blast, although it has to be mentioned that when they later confront each other, Highfather defeats him with but a casual wave of the hand.

Once again from the "insane" era, Lightray's Pogram against the innocent, "inferior" primitives of New Genesis continues. Despite their amazing elemental powers, Lightray proves capable of casually handling multiple of them.

Lightray defeats Mongul, the near Superman-level beast, with hardly any effort at all, casually taking him down with a single blast and a smile.

Once more during the "Insane" days of the Pollack run, he waves a deadly war upon the primitives. Here he casually destroys, or at least blasts away, a pretty large mountain.

Lightray does decently against an enraged Kalibak.

Lightray resists the power of Amazing Grace, and blinds her.

Just to make sure you all realize that he is not just some idiotic bruiser, I’ve taken the liberty of including one of many instances which prove his greatest asset to be his mind.
Here, where Orion would destroy a robotic nemesis, Lightray instead chooses to reprogram it, send it to it’s fellows once more, and cause it to self destruct, destroying its brethren in it’s death throes.
