"Interest is in the eye of the beholder. Or maybe the Beyonder. Still don't get why people think the Marvel U is less powerful than DC (especially when they also back Marvel characters in a fight). Marvel has it's powerful characters like Thor, Silver Surfer, Galactus etc. So no, I don't think Hyperion's powers will automatically be one magnitude less (whatever a magnitude is in this instance) than Superman's."
Superman can lift millions of tonnes, survive low megatonnage nuclear strikes, catch all the bullets from multiple automatic guns fired at a crowd, fly at tens of thousands of miles per hour and his senses are immensly amplified.
When did you see Hyperion perform these same level of activities ? Never!
Yes we have seen him smash through battle tanks, get hit by Thor's hammer, NOT snatch bullets from the air and fly at a couple of thousand mph (in space where there is less friction).
The Marvekl Universe characters were rather shortsightedly described on a 100 tonne lifting scale. Hyperion was originally put in at 75 tonnes (Thor at just over 100 tonnes). Compared to their feats of strength that they perform like tearing apart a tank armour which would require hundreds to thouisands of tonnes of applied force, this confirms a much higher strength requirement. However, Hyperion has never been shown to be able to lift an object as heavy as say the Great Pyramid in Egypt. This is the level is Superman's strength.
When I say at least a magnitude higher it means a factor of 10 bigger i.e. 100 is a factor of magnitude bigger than 10.
So Superman wins.
