OK, I'm not going to try to calculate this, but how would you stat up Silver Age Superboy, who in one comic panel from the 1950s or '60s dragged a long chain of planets from one galaxy to another (literally a chain, a rather large one, though I'm not sure what material the chain connecting the planets together was made from)? That's a very Godlike amount of strength (partially psychokinetic, if he wasn't using Kryptonian tech to keep them from falling apart on the journey), as well as Godlike FTL speed.

Silver Age comic book writers really had no sense of scale, but Silver Age Kryptonians (or rather their powers) do fit the theme of this thread.
