I think Pre-Crisis Superman did not enter the discussion, I think choptop meant Post-Crisis when he said "PC".
Because Pre-Crisis Superman would not be "comprable" to Cell, but "lightyears beyond".
Yeah, I assumed Choptop meant Post Crisis.

Trunks slaughters.
Dragonball level characters were able to blow up the moon. Piccolo did it in the saiyan saga. I totally believe it when Vegeta says he can blow up the earth.
That being said, I don't really believe Cell's explosion would have blown up the solar system. I say that because when he DID blow up, only King Kai's planet was affected. A solar system destroying blast would have leveled the planet, SnakeWay, King Yemma's palace, Hell, etc.
As for the topic, Trunks casually wrecks Injustice Supes.
Ichigo: What even *are* you?!
Kenpachi: Some say my mother was a train. Some say that I'm a rejected Godzilla monster too strong for the series canon. But everyone says: I'M THE KEEEEENPACHIIIIII!!!!
I swear it was his self destruct but maybe that was a dub thing. It's been awhile since I watched that fight.
And in that case, it definitely wasn't solar system busting because...well, Gohan overpowered it. So shouldn't that mean that Gohan's blast would destroy the solar system?
Again, weaker characters were able to blow up the moon with no issue whatsoever. I seriously don't doubt that Vegeta could bust the planet in a single shot at that point.
Vegeta at that point, semi-perfect/perfect Cell time, thus after ROST, would be able to trivially one shot a planet. Frieza could do it in base form, long before the Namek saga. Vegeta, by the time they finished on Namek, was stronger than 2nd form Frieza at the least. And between there and Perfect Cell, Vegeta is at the very least a hundred or more times more powerful: Super Saiyan is 50x all by itself, and just being Saiyan + ROST training on top of that, he's at least double pre-transformation.
So yeah, trivially, casually planet busting for Vegeta by then, even without anime filler.

For what its worth, the Earth is approximately 80 times the size of the moon and Vegeta was introduced being more than 80 times stronger than Roshi (who blew up the moon using a technique that approximately doubled his power level output by concentrating his power into one point), and was around 40 times stronger than a Piccolo (who casually blew up the moon with a regular ki-blast). The full out attack that he claimed would oneshot the planet (because he was forcing Goku to have to block it straight up instead of trying to dodge it) was able to concentrate his power well enough that it was able to match the concentrated-to-approximately-double-output of a Kaiou-KenX3 Goku who would have had a base power that was around 60 times as much as the casually-moon-busting Piccolo.
