By superman 17, clark is still flying and completely unable to stop undef his own power till he collides with the space dude. At this point he gathers his senses and charges back to earth at full speed, taking he'l from behind and pounding hard enough to shake the planet. the moment he stops punching, He'l punches him once while himself lying prone, and the punch is still strong enough to take Kal off his feet and land on his head
Then we don't see what happens to Kal for the next 3 panels, but we do know that he does not immediately get up after that punch or interfere with He'l's plans
actually there is nothing to show whether Clark was knocked out or not in this instance. he was certainly out of it briefly
It's not "one shotting" him but the other two punches seem to be nearly doing the same as the first one in my opinion
I do however take back my comments on hel being as strong as thanos( even though thanos has not one shotted anyone like that either) because Thanos could beat Drax who was a kinda starbuster in his fights
I still feel he is strong enough to hurt thanos especially with super speed though his durability is not nearly as good as Thanos
