Basic rundown

-Superman fights ALE Scott Free, though I need to recheck the context

-Superman fights Infinity Man, where he claims he has the power to punch off planets

-Superman, put in a barrier he couldn't escape by Infinity Man, was hit by the destruction of the Source Wall. The barrier liekly took the brunt of the force and yet he was still knocked out

-Soulfire Darkseid is compared to Superman as Superman would be to the likes of Green Lantern. Those people claiming he fought and took hits from SF Darkseid? Pure fanwank. He hit Soulfire Darkseid off guard, Darkseid wasn't even remotely phased, and he proceeded to stomp Superman and it was explicitly stated he was going out of his way not to kill Superman, so that scaling cannot work

-Soulfire Darkseid supposedly fights "The Source," but it's been retconned to be in fact not The Source as in the conceptual nigh-omnipotent abstract

-This is where Superman takes on two colliding planets (Which were both larger than stars)
