to try to take down Supes, while All Supes need to do is use his abilities to resist/counter everything Surfer has at his disposal. Superman can use his speed too, no cis/pis, and heat vision
Superman can't use physical brute force to win though, he needs to find another way to stop Surfer without using his strength to drop Surfer, but he can USE IT to defend it against surfer's powers
Basically In a vs battle where no limits are on them. Superman isn’t restrained, he can use his speed to fully avoid/defend against surfer abilities in combat etc
A vs battle where Surfer is unrestrained and being piloted by someone that doesn't have his personality, against a Superman that can't use his strength to overpower Surfer?
Superman's faced matter manipulation before, and was either immune to it, or simply powered through.
He also resisted Emperor Joker, and did the impossible by carrying liquid Bleed in his mouth.
TP? Milton Fine Brainiac has TP feats that are universal in scope. He had the entire world believing he was still in his tomb, and an imposter. And he resisted him. He also broke his TK constructs, and survived his attacks.
Time freeze? How many times has Surfer done that? And prove it's true time stop, because Supes used his speed to override extreme time dilatation before. Days passing in hours, for example.
Energy manipulate? That could work, in theory. Superman can also absorb Surfers power, in theory, the same way he amped off Apokoliptian energy or 6d energy.

Thanks. It seems like Surfer is possibly manipulating the structure instead of himself. There is a portal like area Surfer is entering. That's what it looks like anyway.
