There's probably no point in this but I have to correct this misinformation. The Silver age started in 1955. The upgrade of Superman started in 1941. It was in reaction to a new character by a company called Fawcett, in a comic called Whiz outselling superman who had powers at the level of the Silver age Version. You may have heard of the character he was called Captain Marvel (Big Red Cheese). he had some issues of Whiz that sold over one million copies. By 1943 Superman was at least at the pre Flashpoint/Modern Levels by 14/5 easily SA levels (about 20 years before anything remotely called the SA).
Also the statement that GA Supes had no anger is way off. In the actual GA most super heroes/ Mysterymen were a LOT more brutal than later years. That was actually the reason the GA came to an end. There was a movement questioning the comics because of rising violent crime in youth (sound familiar - TV/Video games/ Movies). That was why prior to the start of the SA the comics publishers came up with "code of comics". Towards the of the GA he was more moral ( that's why he was one of the few along with Batman, Green Arrow, Wonder Woman and Aquaman to be continued through until the Silver Age )
What beatboks1 said sums it up. This is a violent Superman approaching his silver age power levels. Venom gets obliterated.
