Superman Feats Timeline Project

The main goal of this thread is to catalog any major feats to help newcomers see which feats are consistent and which are PIS/Outliers

Once scaling chains involve Universal+ characters, scaling down from infinity just leads to more infinity, becoming unreliable at times.

Feel free to comment on any feats and sources, and I'll add it to the timeline.

Feat Format:

  • Source Link
    • Tier | Direct/Scaled | Description| Calculation Link | Difficulty

Adventures of Superman (volume 2) was an ongoing comic book featuring Superman stories by many different creative teams. All the stories are intended to be "continuity free" and do not fit into the canon of any of the mainstream DC universes (Prime Earth, New Earth, Earth-One or Earth-Two).

"Superman's strength levels have fluctuated throughout his career, but he has never had the unlimited power of the Spectre or other magical beings. There are always weights he can't lift, enemies he can't outrun, or puzzles he can't solve." | Superman: The Ultimate Guide to the Man of Steel, 2013

Unverified[]

  • Comparable to the original Captain Marvel, who has defeated the Invincible Man.
  • Far more powerful with the Sword of Superman
  • He has thrown spaceships to another galaxy.
  • He has picked up and thrown neutron stars.
  • A sneeze from PC Superman destroyed an entire solar system.
  • PC Superman was so powerful that he could easily move a star with just his breath.
  • He could close a Boom-Tube with his bare hands.
  • He was able to eat molten metal.
  • PC Superman toyed around with an enraged Hulk like he was a child in a crossover.
  • He could move the entire Earth like a ping-pong ball.
  • He was able to fly at such speeds that he could enter hyperspace effortlessly.
  • PC Superman was so powerful that he could alter time itself without even trying.
  • He was able to travel trillions of miles in seconds without exerting any effort at all.
  • He easily threw a neutron star several light years away. He claimed that the star weighed Trillions of tons and that it exerted a magnetic pull greater than dozens of Supernovas, but this didn’t affect him in the slightest.
  • PC Superman threw moon-sized balls of ice at the Earth when all of its oceans had been dried up.
  • He was able to fly through the time barrier and go millions of years into the past on a whim.
  • While PC Clark Kent was in disguise, he was confronted by the Joker who released an enormous amount of his laughing gas. Superman was able to inhale all of the gas before it contaminated anyone without laughing.
  • PC Supes brushed off the explosion of a nuclear warhead which could have vaporized the entire East coast.
  • PC Clark could move so fast that he appeared invisible.
  • With the sword in his hand, Superman's cape deflected the most powerful blast that King Kosmos could muster. It was a blast that could have altered reality itself, yet it was blocked by Superman’s clothing.
  • Superman (after nearly killing King Kosmos out of anger) decided that this sword, which was present at the dawn of time, could not be controlled as a separate entity, so at this point, he actually started to merge with the sword. Superman remarked that it had power which he had never felt. Before Superman completely merged himself with infinity (the sword), he stopped just as he got to its hilt, and decided that he no longer needed to merge with the sword, so he threw the remainder of it into deep space. The reason for this is that, in the midst of fusing with the sword, he heard a godly voice (either Jor-El or God himself), and this voice spoke of Superman's greatness.
  • “Your greatness among living things is assured. So shall it EVER be”. Had Superman merged with this sword, he would have become one with all of the universe.
  • PC Superman displayed his super-intellect by learning a long dead, yet incredibly sophisticated language (which he had never heard before); instantly.
  • PC Supes caught meteorites and moved around planet-sized asteroids effortlessly.
  • Not even the Flash was swift enough to punch PC Superman.
  • The Guardians sent Superman on a special mission to preserve the Galactic Balance of Nature. Superman was not at full power during this event, as the part of the Galaxy he flew through was full of red stars. Despite this, Superman was still strong enough to make a small planet by fusing meteorites together and then proceeded to move it.
  • Superman intercepted a bomb that was meant to destroy the Earth and wasn’t harmed at all.
  • A Supernova only dazed Superman for a microsecond. He then found himself in an unknown solar system and proceeded to drill his way to the center of a planet.
  • PC Superman could actually create a tiny version of himself, an avatar so to speak, which was endowed with all of his powers (but he loses his powers if he does so).
  • Superman one time defeated the Galactic Golem. The Galactic Golem is the monstrous result of Lex Luthor’s attempt to create life by collecting galactic matter into the form of a man. Infusing his creation with a hunger for the hyper-stellar energy that made its creation possible. During this battle, Superman uses the Golem’s own energy-radiation to speed up his vibrations and shift every living thing on the Earth to another dimensional plane.
  • Superman balanced a replica of the Empire State building with just his pinky.
  • Superman’s Fortress of Solitude contained an entire solar system that he created by himself.
  • PC Kryptonians could travel between universes at will.
  • Superman and Power Girl easily defeated creatures that had conquered entire worlds.
  • Maaldor, a powerful cosmic being who had existed for billions of years and conquered an entire universe, referred to Superman and Power Girl as the two most powerful beings in the multiverse. He tries to kill Power Girl, then Superman fought him, narration stated that Maaldor shrugged off attacks that could reduce a planet to rubble, and replied with attacks that had been used for just that purpose. Superman was fine, and it turned out that Power Girl survived.
  • Superman and Power Girl tricked Maaldor into confronting his own soul which caused him to self-destruct and create an entirely new universe from the remains of his energy. Superman sealed off that universe from the rest of the multiverse with his heat vision.
  • A rogue Superboy robot grabbed Superman and flew him thousands of miles into space in a fraction of a second, then flung him faster than light across the solar system. He couldn't turn around until he reaches Uranus, but he still got back in only a matter of minutes.
  • Superman contained a nuclear bomb with his cape.
  • Superman contained a supernova explosion.
  • Easily survived a 10 megaton bomb.
  • Was only knocked back slightly by a gravitational force that could move a planet.
  • Used some extra energy to reignite a dying Sun.
  • Casually flew past galaxies in seconds.
  • Superman turned a diamond into a piece of coal by altering its molecular pattern.

Superboy uses one last burst of speed to break the time barrier. Superman couldn't handle the strain and loses his grip on the ankle.

  • Superman Vol 2 #9 September 1987

    • TBA | Superman moves the Earth, the Moon, and a giant spaceship out of a hyperspace bubble.
    • Superman noted that Earth probably has had its mass nullified by some gravitational field or something, but he is not sure if it is and says he hopes it does. Given he manages to pull the ship back and he says he couldn't lift the mass of Earth at the time, and that such technobabble was stated in the first place, I think Earth's mass was likely nullified.

The room is filled with Kryptonite radiation. Superman now emerges from behind Cyborg, taking his cape back and striking the Cyborg with a powerful blow that goes through his body, revealing that the Kryptonite passing through the Eradicator's body had changed and now restored all of his own powers.
    • After absorbing Eradicator, he defeats Cyborg Superman and notes he is at full power.

    • According to Professor Hamilton, Superman is absorbing solar radiation and other energies much faster than ever before due to being irradiated by what he call Kryptonite X. The Eradicator incident that recharged his powers foreshadowed his power increase. He says there is no physical way for Superman to expend his energy fast enough.

Hunter/Prey (April 1994 - June 1994)[]

  • Superman/Doomsday: Hunter/Prey Vol 1 #1 April 1994
    • On Apokolips, Doomsday survives Darkseid's Omega Beams and defeats him.
  • Superman/Doomsday: Hunter/Prey Vol 1 #2 May 1994
  • Superman/Doomsday: Hunter/Prey Vol 1 #3 June 1994
    • Doomsday breaks Superman's arm.
    • Unknown | A Boomtubed Superman in the God Sphere is weaker than Doomsday, barely damages him, and relies on the Mother Box to send Doomsday away.
      • According to the writer Dan Jurgen,
        • This Doomsday was a multi-dimensional threat.
        • Darkseid was never set up to be the all-powerful type of being. To me, Highfather was always set up to be the more powerful, omnipotent sort of being than was Darkseid. Darkseid had power in that he was able to control people around him. People were terrified of him. Darkseid is far less powerful than Superman-that it is Darkseid's political machinations and his dangerous mind that makes him a threat to Superman, not his power. He states Darkseid is powerful in a galactic sense.
        • Superman's abysmal performance against Doomsday is because of his morals limiting himself. If Superman ignores morals and cuts loose in his first fight against Doomsday, Superman would have done better. Superman and Doomsday were roughly equivalent in terms of power in Hunter/Prey. Superman and Doomsday are above Darkseid.
  • Superman Vol 2 #90, June 1994
    • DC describe their portrayal of Superman at the time.
    • "Superman the planet juggler had his place way back when, but today's Man of Steel will always have to struggle to get what he wants-it's more interesting to us that way."

Zero Hour[]

  • Zero Hour Vol 1 #0 September 1994
    • Supposedly, Superman contributes to 1/5 the energy of the Big Bang in Zero Hour.
    • The Ray, Darkstar (Donna Troy), Captain Atom, and Kyle Rayner absorb the plasma energy universe Parallax created, absorbing most of Parallax's energy.
    • Superman, Captain Atom, Darkstar, and the Ray send energy into Waverider who channels it into Damage. After, Spectre channels more energy into Damage, and a new Big Bang occurs.
    • Nothing states that Superman is contributing equally. Captain Atom and Spectre, Universal characters when not holding back, are contributing as well.
      • So yeah, it might have been The Spectre who actually created the Big Bang proper in the end, and not Superman. There's just not enough evidence that he himself contributed a whole 20% of the Big Bang's energy and not commonly stronger characters like The Spectre.
      • While they did contribute a lot of energy to starting this Big Bang, it was actually The Spectre who actually initiated the event.
  • Superman Annual Vol 2 #7 July 1995
    • Low | A year One Superman is beaten to a pulp by a mystic Daemon with his eye even swollen shut, but awakens back to normal without Doctor Occult healing him.
  • Action Comics Annual Vol 1 #7 November 1995
  • Doomsday Annual, December 1995
    • Takes place 245000 years before the Death of Superman
    • The New Gods are treated as aliens.
    • Doomsday kills Master Mayhem
    • Doomsday kills a Green Lantern
    • Doomsday gets a power ring and kills hundreds and injures a thousand other lanterns. He intuitively tapped into the power of the ring,.
    • At least Low 7-C, possibly 7-C | Doomsday tanks a blast from a Guardian that had the force of a dozen hurricanes.
    • In the blink of an eye, Doomsday recovered and fired from his own power ring.
    • Doomsday started adapting to the energy blasts, perhaps even feeding on it.
    • 7-A | The Guardian self-destructed, releasing the totality of his energies. In the explosion, Doomsday lost the power ring, and the mountain was destroyed.
    • Doomsday adapted to Radiant's specific energy signature and rented him in two.
  • New Gods Vol 4 #10 August 1996 to New Gods Vol 4 #11 September 1996
    • Unknown | A boomtube amped Superman and Orion are shown fighting S'ivaa
    • This is the same S'ivaa who could destroy existence with his dance.
      • Highfather said it's his dance which will destroy all existence, not his physical power.
      • This is further cemented by what is said at the beginning of the next issue: S'ivaa must be between Apokolips and New Gensisis to do his dance in a place where it can destroy existence. He may tear space-time around usually, but this is where he must be to destroy everything.
    • When Superman was fighting S'ivaa, with that large tear, that this was gradual and over time the tears in reality will grow larger. This is clearly over time.
    • It's not shown that Superman and Orion were actually damaging S'ivaa or being directly hit by S'ivaa throughout the fight. S'ivaa is simply swatting flies, and Superman and Orion's power aren't even phasing him.
    • They did not defeat him through their power alone. They managed to trip him up while he was off guard and launch him into the Source, where he died.
    • S'ivaa's destruction feat was over time and under special circumstances, and regardless his fight with Superman and Orion can be best described as swatting flies with him not really putting his all in damaging the two. He was killed by being tripped up in his own tears in space-time and being pushed into the Source. Superman does not scale to this existence destroying.
    • S'ivaa ripping space-time in unquantifiable, and technically even a black hole rips through space-time. Superman easily fixes it all the same with his heat vision so it's not too impressive

    • Joker is the one who set everything back to normal. "To hell with this stupid braincast! No one is following the script! I want everyone back the way they were before."
  • Action Comics Vol 1 #770 October 2000
    • Unknown | Superman flies through Emperor Joker's body and out his head and gets knocked into space by him.
    • Emperor Joker throughout the story was completely toying and messing around with Superman. He never seriously tried to kill him without simply reviving him to continue torturing him
    • In this story, Superman was shown to be killed by Joker destroying the universe. He was then revived as a dog by Joker
    • Superman did not even physically beat Emperor Joker; he outsmarted Joker which led to his defeat.
    • If he was physically 5D imp level, that would be inconsistent with the constant plot point that Superman is physically infinitesimally flat in comparison to the likes of Mr. Mxy.
    • Superman didn't regrow a heart on his own. After Joker tore out Superman's heart, Superman clung to the small sun to last a little longer. After figuring out the new rules of Joker's reality, he tricks Joker into not forgetting about Batman. From there, Joker couldn't maintain control of his reality warping, and his changes were disappearing.

  • Superman: Where Is Thy Sting? January 2001
    • Mind Manipulation Resistance | Superman resists the manipulations of an avatar of Death.
    • Superman starts to fear him or those around him dying and being alone.
    • An Avatar of Death has come for Superman, bringing him into a meta-physical dream. He shows Lois dying in 2050.
    • This is Kal-El's death. Each person has a personal shadows made in their image, reflected by their soul, that walks with them from the cradle to the grave. According to him, while others live and die, Superman will live past universes. He wants Superman to die.
    • Superman is brought to a place of non-time and space, a place between sleep, waking, eternity, and oblivion. He is brought forward many centuries to the death of Earth and the Sun. The Earth and he are engulfed by the dying sun. His limbs grow wear, eyes blind, lungs collapse, and cells explode.
    • While Superman begins to comprehend the futility of death, his death isn't ready to take him yet. In order for Superman to fully understand the scope of death, he must witness it on a more convincing scale. So, Death grants him protection, strength, and life for a fleeting moment.
    • Superman allegedly survives the Big Crunch of the universe and punches his Death
    • Superman allegedly pushed through the barriers of space and time, and then defeated the embodiment of his own Death, who caused the universe to compress on Superman, only for him to overcome it.
    • The description of the universe’s death was nothing like the big crunch, but more similar to a Heat Death, which would merely give Superman resistance to entropy, which is consistent to Our Worlds at War.
    • Superman is faced with the reality of his own (and ultimately everything's) death. As this reality fills his waking consciousness and ultimately is embodied in death itself, Superman is incapacitated by his fear until Death literally shows him his own death at the end of the universe. However, in doing so, Superman also sees his afterlife. An afterlife in which he is joined and comforted by his one true love, Lois Lane. Lois Lane reveals to Superman that his "belief" in her love, their love, transcends death. And that through that belief he is set "free" from death. Thus the title "Where Is Thy Sting", a reference to the passage in the Bible in 1 Corinthians 15:55 where Paul expounds on the Resurrection of Jesus Christ:
      "O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?"
    • It is debatable if what Superman's mind/soul can do in the meta-physical world directly scales to the physical world.

    • Unknown, not infinite | Lifts the Spectre briefly with WW, who weighs as much as eternity ​​​​​​
    • Green Lantern later made a construct that supports the Spectre; If we are to assume that Spectre did in fact have infinite weight and Green Lantern's constructs could support said infinite weight, that would imply that Green Lantern constructs have "infinite" defense and not break under the force. However, as we see Green Lantern's constructs break numerous times throughout his run, this is not the case. Green Lantern's constructs have been shown to be broken by finite forces less than that of the Spectre. This, in turn, shows that Spectre does not have infinite weight. In turn, the present Superman does not have infinite strength.

    • A synthesized black hole no bigger than a speck of dust was made and named Mnemom
      • w:c:dc:Mnemon (New Earth)
      • Mnemon itself began as a synthetic life-form created by an unknown being that believed the purest music was that of memories, thus Mnemon was designed specifically to collect memories.
      • However, Mnemon soon developed the typical qualities of a supervillain, such as power-lust - to the point it went insane and stole the memories of its creator and his entire world before destroying the said world.
      • The crazed Mnemon then became a cosmic threat, traveling from world to world stealing the memories of entire civilizations before destroying their worlds and wiping out their species.

    • Going by the context of how solar systems are "killed," and it is shown to be over time with various different weapons that raze and destroy planets one by one and then some unknown means to destroying the star. The ship was using its point defense weapons solely on the JLA it seems (And it's more hax based weapons) and not its unknown means to busting the star. Regardless, "killing star systems" seems more so to refer to leaving it desolate and then destroying the star system going by how it has shown to have destroyed it.
  • Superman/Batman Vol 1 #18 June 2005

    • Scaled | Clark's conflict with Kal-L shatters the boundaries of local space-time. Just by the description of the feat itself, it is too vague to give a physical value. Superman of New Earth fights with the Superman of Earth-Two in the skies of Metropolis above the Daily Star on Earth-Two. With each crushing blow, each man lives the life of the other. Punch allegedly break the world. If anything, this feat reflects his limited space-time manipulation.

Kal-L tries one last time to reason with Prime, but he refuses and takes off with both Supermen, Power Girl, Martian Manhunter, and Green Lanterns Hal Jordan and John Stewart in pursuit. With Superboy-Prime flying faster than even Kal-El or Kal-L can match, Hal Jordan sends a warning to the rest of the Green Lantern Corps. As Superboy-Prime races toward Oa, he is slowed down by a 300-mile thick wall of pure green energy generated by the power rings of the Green Lantern Corps, who engage him in battle with Guy Gardner taking the lead. Superboy-Prime kills a handful of Green Lanterns and is almost ready to kill Guy when Hal Jordan intervenes. As Superboy-Prime is distracted, both Supermen grab him and fly him through the remains of Krypton and then through the red sun of Krypton, which causes all three heroes to lose their powers and for Superboy-Prime to lose his energy-storing armor. They crash-land on the Green Lantern planet Mogo.

Death of the New Gods (December 2007 - June 2008)[]

  • That characters are equalized with the size of Fourth World when going through a Boom Tube and that to their perspective they are performing tier 5 to 4 feats
  • Grant Morrison has some interviews where he discredits Death of the New Gods' canonicity, calling them apocryphal. It is likely referred to as an alternate Superman.https://www.newsarama.com/123-grant-morrison-on-final-crisis-1.html
    • He was writing Final Crisis and they forced Death of the New Gods to be produced to tie in with Final Crisis against his best wishes and they contradict all of his works, when asked about why Superman didn't remember the events in DotN, Grant said because the entire ending parts of it were just apocryphal accounts. Plus there is a whole slew of inconsistencies in DotNG with Final Crisis. Lastly, IDK if this is true, but I was told Starlin portrays Fourth World as just weird alien planets that are Earth+ sized, not the size of large stars like the calc assumes.
      lemme find it
    • Superman plain doesn't remember the events in that story. Should immediately show how non-canon it is.
    • Metron died on-panel in DotNG. He is alive in the Final Crisis.

  • Death of the New Gods Vol 1 #8 June 2008
    • Scaled | Boomtube amped Superman survives the blast from Soulfire Darkseid and "The Source" fighting. Superman punches through a distracted Soulfire Darkseid
    • Superman said several times he was absolutely insignificant in the face of Soulfire Darkseid, even comparing himself to Darkseid as Green Arrow would be to Superman himself.
    • The only reason Superman decided to fight Soulfire Darkseid was that he doesn't want to be completely useless here and at least do something to slow down Darkseid
    • Darkseid was off guard when hit by Superman and was only shocked by Superman being there and Superman's audacity to even attempt such a suicidal attack
    • Darkseid explicitly stated that he was not trying to kill Superman, and was just torturing him with his energy blasts. Superman took nowhere near the full force of Darkseid’s power.
    • Direct | Was right in the center of and survived the collision and fusion of Apokolips and New Genesis
  • Trinity Vol 1 #5 July 2008
  • Trinity Vol 1 #2 June 2008
    • TBA | Direct | Superman pushed a growing solar system -
      • "The dwarf planets are growing, getting larger with each orbit. It's as if the whole system warped in at microscopic size ans is adjusting, compensating. Its sun is growing too, bit there hasn't been time for its gravity to really start tearing Metropolis apart. Not yet. It wont have the chance! The photosphere and convection zone aren't solid enough for me to get a grip on them, but the radiation zone, a giant mass of gravitationally condensed plasma, should be almost solid enough to."
      • "By rights, the radiation from this sun should be empowering me, supercharging me, but something's wrong, like it's not from this universe!"
      • "But I keep up the pressure, never so much that I break through the radiation zone, and slowly, slowly it begins to move, and its planets with it. In time, it builds speed, builds momentum until.
      • "There. It's high enough above the ecliptic, and drifting farther away with every passing moment. It can grow to full size safely here."
      • The mass is unclear, but we do know that it not actually compressed. The solar system later adjusted to the new universe it was in.
      • Calculation
        • The calculation above assumes that it's mass was constant throughout the growing process.
        • However, the context of the feat doesn't seem to suggest so. If the mass was constant since it warped on Earth, the gravity would have started tearing up metropolis since gravity waves travel at the speed of light. As it would grow in size, the gravity would decrease, following the gravity formula.
        • I believe that the shrinking and growth may be similar to the Atom where its mass changes with size.

      • The only thing this feat shows is that Ultraman is stronger than Superman and Captain Marvel combined.
      • Ultraman contradicts the allegedly infinite book
      • "Where I come from, the only god we know is Mammon, lord of greed, property, and ownership. We value material wealth above everything else.
