@Aristeaus: I am not debating the winner (I don't do these battle debates anymore) but I just want to set a few things straight:
- Let's abstain from the symbolism argument for a bit and assume Superman literally lifted an infinitely heavy book. It still flies in the face of everything else he has done or will do. Superman does not have infinite strength. Hell, in the same miniseries, he couldn't even stop a giant ship's rapid descent, which had enough momentum to crack a planet's crust and core. That's a sub-planetary feat right there.
- Superman never held a black hole in his palm. He held a device which contained it. His only claim to fame was using every ounce of his strength for assisting the device in holding that thing. With John Stewart's help.
- Breaking realities is not a feat. There is no way to even quantify that. Hulk has done it countless times too. The same goes for breaking time or whatever.
- Superman didn't lift the Spectre; Wonder Woman and he tried and failed to stop his descent from space. Big difference. Still, I don't believe Spectre's mass was stated so there is no way to tell how good (or bad) this showing is.
- Superman didn't move an actual solar system; he moved a mini sun to space (it was reduced in size and mass) and the rest of the gravitationally bound planets followed suit. All miniature.
- Why is Hulk's star feat a hyperbole? Proxima (or was it Corvus?) gives a detailed description of how the whole thing worked. It was clearly intended to be as literal as described.
And don't take this the wrong way, but I find it interesting that you accuse others of being a "Marvel fanboi", despite using the "infinite book" feat or "reality busting punches" with a straight face.
Anyway, carry on.
