Is This Superman's Biggest Punch Ever? Justice League #25 Spoilers…

Today's Deathstroke #44, set before his seeming death in recent issues, has Superman fighting Deathstroke, and it's not as much of a one-sided battle as you may have thought. With Slade Wilson critiquing Superman for his resorting to a punch to solve any problems, where Deathstroke has different methods…
While it seems over in Doomsday Clock, that Dr Manhattan is trying to avoid his inevitable fate, from just one of those punches, looking to change history to see if he can make a greater impact.
Quite a punch. Previously in Superman's comic books, he has punched people into orbit.
Repeatedly.
Punched people from the Sun to the Earth.
Hit the Black Racer so hard it scarred the moon.
Punched people into other dimensions.
Oh and fractured reality fighting Superboy Prime.
But in today's Justice League #25, powered by multiple suns and given a bit of a run-up, he goes all out for the Forger Of Worlds, a multi-dimensional cosmic being who is all-but-God of the DC universe.
With a great piece of art there showing an impending Superman from Jorge Jimenez reminiscent of Cats…
But with a sound effect that's slightly more than a purr…
And leaving quite a crater in a sixth-dimensional planet. So has Superman hit harder before? He did take down The Forger's brother, the Anti-Monitor, but only when that particular god had been weakened… is this Superman's biggest punch ever?
Let us know. And all kudos to Scott Snyder and Jorge Jimenez for creating such an enjoyable action comic that jumps from one event to another without skipping a beat… DC's Year Of The Villain starts here.
And, also Deathstroke #44, as seen above…
And so it begins…
