1st among his peers has been his thing for decades before you were all born,it's not about being 1st hero, it's that he has been an outed and shown to be top dog for this whole time, in a shared universe.
These arguments are boiled down to "I don't like him having HIS spot, so I will argue points all day until they agree with me" (they NEVER will)
Created from 2 of the greatest men,made with 2 powersets thst are both SUPER,and has 2 cool asf looks and attitudes.
If not Superman, then who? Someone has to be the top super-hero. Who else should it be?
We are not deep into the Silver Age anymore, and something like Flash is faster than Superman as example is far more established than the other way around.
This whole thread wouldn't even exist if Superman would have this spot all the time, and the idea that things can't change for the better is odd anyway, do you still see all the racism, sexism, and silly stereotypes from back then in most modern comics?

In my opinion, taking out Superman strength is like taking out Flash speed. Being the strongest for the local superheroes is his thing.
Different thing is if he should steamroll the other flying bricks like Martian Manhunter, Wonder Womam or Captain Marvel. They should be all close to him in power level, he shouldnt be able to beat two of them at the same time.
But in 1 on 1 he would be the strongest.
And what are Wonder Woman's and Shazam's thing in your reasoning, and since when equals the highest physical strength even winning all 1on1s?
Why don't just give up the concept of the shared verse, if a shared verse apparently means that Superman needs to make other superheroes look bad because it is allegedly his thing, and why don't we discuss about Batman instead of Superman anyway if we use the golden cow argument considering that it is the actual golden cow Batman's thing to make superheroes including Superman look bad?

No, i'm saying the top superheroes who are actually defined by that ad fit should be comparably powerful to a degree that nobody could say this 1 person is definitively superior, nobody is saying that Booster Gold or Hawkgirl need to be as powerful as Superman for some reason, that would especially for the latter not even fit.
