I think you underestimate just how much and powerful the magics surrounding this guy are. There are REASONS Loki is able to challenge Marvel's mightiest fighting team or teams on a regular basis ...
Superman wins here, of course, and fairly easily. This particularly story was one of a handful where he showed how powerful he really can be.
Need me to break it down?
Sundipped Superman exponentially > Pissed undipped Superman > or = Doomsday[the final appearance of the real Doomsday] >>>Darkseid >> guys like Guardians, Zues, Odin, etc.[All of whom have admitted or shown inferiority.]
The misconception is still that these guys drop DOWN to Superman and peers bracket, when the truth is, when he means to, he moves UP to theirs.
At all other points, flying around Earth and shit?
He's holding back.
Because it might as well be made of paper and toothpicks.

It was shown in comics that Loki can be koed by sufficient blunt force to the head. Thor rocked the shit out of Loki with one blow almost one shotting him. And this Superman is astronomically more powerful.
Brain bashing =/= severed head. Even Surfer survived being seperated into pieces (PIS IMO) but always is susceptible to being koed.
Yes
Thousands of galaxies of power>>>>>>>anything WBH has done
It is my opinion that classic Juggs can't be harmed physically. I believe He's absolutely indestructible to straight physical force.
*I'm not comparing Marvel's Gods to DC's Gods, btw. Marvel has placed much more emphasis on their Gods over the years, thus they have naturally accumulated a LOT more(and a LOT better) feats by proxy.
However, I do believe that if, say, Marvel's Zeus and DC's Zeus were to appear in a comic together, they'd be portrayed as equals. /shrug
Darkseid himself has feats that put him firmly in the upper echalon of the skyfather tier. By proxy - the likes of Highfather, Ares, Zeus etc. are in similar tiers.

problem is no one ever acknowledges that fact because of what it means for darkseid. point of fact is, that darkseid himself has destroyed and absorbed the power of entire past pantheons. a ridiculous feat. at one point, odin (dc) was afraid of darkseid, and i would say the versions of odin are indeed equal--or close enough for the difference to be negligible.
anyway, superman wins this, and tbh i could very well see it as a stomp. :/
Maybe it's because they're too distracted by Darkseid trading wins and losses with high heralds and Trans-level characters in straight-up fights.
If Odin got his butt beat by Surfer, or rapestomped by Thanos in straight-up fights on occasion, well... let's just say most people's respect for him would probably lessen also. And extrapolating by proxy across comic universes to excuse this Odin wouldn't really cure that attitude. Which is just a long-winded way of saying this:
