Dunno how many of you have seen the Snyder cut of JL, but in it Superman steps in front of Steppenwolf as he's about cut Cyborg in half, no-sells Steppenwolf's attack and tells him he's not impressed.
How do these Marvel characers fare in this situation:
Hulk
Thor
Iron Man
Captain Marvel
Thanos
Cull Obsidian
Loki
Hela
Ronan
Hulkbuster with Banner in it
Kurse
Drax
This is pure durability. No energy shields or blocking in any way.

Still haven't seen it but that's cool and pretty in line with canon. Steppenwolf has never been a physical threat to Superman, so even this beefed up version shouldn't be. He's no Darkseid. He's not even a Mantis or Kalibak who at least could put up a decent fight.
I didn't say he wasn't impressive. I said he's never been a match for Superman. Clark also beat up all 3 of them as well as the rest of the League at the same time but he did it faster and easier.
Thanos has been cut by Iron Man's punch, though. Do you think a full force swing from Steppenwolf deals less damage than that? Hela and Kurse have both been pierced by bladed weapons before. I can't remember if Carol had any durability feats without her shields, so I can't argue with that.
