@nosoamazing: 1. http://www.universetoday.com/65583/is-the-earth-bigger-than-the-sun/
I got this strange question by email a few days ago, so I thought I’d tackle it: “Is the Earth Bigger than the Sun?”. Nope, the Sun is much, much bigger than the Earth.
The diameter of the Sun is 1,390,000 km. Just for comparison, the diameter of the Earth is only 12,742 km. This means that you could put 109 Earths side-by-side to match the diameter of the Sun. And if you wanted to try and fill up the Sun with Earths, it would take 1.3 million Earths to match the volume of the Sun.

Our sun is a middle aged average sized star that has been around for about 5 billion years. it will use up all its fuel in another 4.5 Billion years.
An average sized star is much bigger than the Earth so Hulk tanking that weight is an extraordinary feat. They didn't say small star in panel they said star. Hickman has continually and deliberately tried to top all of DC's high end feats. This was another example of that.
2. Superman held a machine that was housing a mini black hole to stop it from cracking, he wasn't even dealing with the black hole itself. Hulk struggled but it was nothing that threatened to kill him. The size matters because of this :

How big is a black hole?
All matter in a black hole is squeezed into a region of infinitely small volume, called the central singularity. The event horizon is an imaginary sphere that measures how close to the singularity you can safely get. Once you have passed the event horizon, it becomes impossible to escape: you will be drawn in by the black hole's gravitational pull and squashed into the singularity.The size of the event horizon (called the Schwarzschild radius, after the German physicist who discovered it while fighting in the first World War) is proportional to the mass of the black hole. Astronomers have found black holes with event horizons ranging from 6 miles to the size of our solar system. ut in principle, black holes can exist with even smaller or larger horizons.
The event horizon of the black hole Hulk held open was much larger than the one Superman contained and Hulk of course was exposed directly to the event horizon, Superman was merely struggling to hold the box, he wasn't exposed to the black hole itself. Hulk and Thanos surviving black holes without the benefit of FTL speed are insane feats and massively underplayed.
3. They were dealing with cosmic beings not magical beings. If it was magic Superman wouldn't have been able to destroy it. When the shadows attacked the Justice League, Superman waxed his own shadow, it didn't hurt him. If it was magic it would have. At the end of the issue Icon travels back home and speaks to what appears to be a Shaman or something but he wasn't involved in creating the shadow moon.
4. Yes he was at Worldbreaker level but he's also tanked the blast from a meteor twice the size of Earth with ease. I'm not sure which Superman feat you're referring to? If you mean the supposed feat in which Superman survived the pull of two black holes, that didn't happen. He shut down a black hole by throwing a spaceship into it and that stopped.
5. Show me Superman tanking genuine nukes. I have looked and can't find anything outside of the scans from DKR, which I was told were not in continuity.
6. Abomination is said to be twice as strong as Hulk at base level, Hulk is a planet buster at base level
http://www.comicvine.com/abomination/4005-3489/
Originally, the Abomination was said to be more than twice as strong of that of the clam Hulk
http://hulk.wikia.com/wiki/Abomination
Emil Blonsky is a KGB agent and spy who becomes the Abomination after deliberately exposing himself to a greater quantity of the same gamma radiation that transformed Bruce Banner into the Hulk. Blonsky is transformed into a massive green-skinned monster with physical strength exceeding that of the Hulk; since his first appearance, he is more than twice as powerful as the Hulk. Although he retains his mental faculties, Blonsky soon discovers he is unable to return to human form.
The last time they fought, the Abomination beat the crap out of Hulk until Hulk Hulked up so there doesn't appear to have been a downgrade in his power.
