The perspective is a bit weird, but it looks like the waves are about half a mile to a mile away at best, and seem to be about 80-10 stories high, and if we assume these move at the speeds of average Tsunami's (which can range from 300-500 MPH) it would probably take at worst a minute. Which is pretty damn fast even if we assume he got mountains from the closest part of the Range.

Ah wait the elevation of the Appalachian Mountains are actually 2037 m.
pi*240000^2*(2037/3)*5*2800 = 1.7201652e18 kg, Class E
@Jared111 Couldn't Superman have got the mountains before the tsunami started rising?

Closest mountains would be about 100 miles outside New York at worst, so if he accomplished it in, lets say less than a minute. So about 200 miles in less than a minute, so about 12,000 MPH while also carrying a literal mountain range.
I'm sure someone else can be a bit more precise, but either way that's pretty impressive.
@Spino
The page shows him seeing at Metropolis when the waves have already formed, and then he decides to go get the mountain range. If anything it seems he may have gotten to Metropolis while the waves had already formed and then went to get the Mountain range.

Alright.
If it's 12 000 mph or 5364.48 m/s, then
0.5*1.7201652e18*5364.48^2 = 2.4751152e25 Joules, 5.92 petatons, Multi-Continent level
Huh

Yeah, maybe someone else should check my math.
Here's an accurate map of the location of the mountain range, it show some mountains can be about 50-60 Miles away as well, but i went wtih 100 just to be safe.

So i looked into it, since it mentions a the Appalachian Mountain Range, the closest Mountain area that fits in the Appalachian Range is the Catskill mountains, which is 100 Miles outside of New York City, and have a total area of 15,259 km^2. It contains over 30 mountains that are over 3500 feet as well. So that begs the question how much energy would it take to move that at least 200 Miles in less than a minute (or 12,000 MPH)?

So there are 30 mountains that are 3500 feet tall?

The mountains are 2400 km, so divided by 30 we get 80 km each.
pi*80000^2*(1066.8/3)*30*2800 = 6.0058002687864678368e17 kg, Class P
12 000 mph is 5364.48 m/s

I applied the OP already, we're discussing potential higher feats atm.

Not yet, but doubt it's higher than 6-A.

I'm fairly certain he got the scans from the Golden Age Superman respect thread, but check them to be safe ig.

You can check through all the feats in this respect thread here. Figuring out where each feat places in his timeline would be very helpful, if you can do so of course.

The appalachian mountain feat is from Superman #48 in 1947, which takes place before the Skyscraper feat in Issue #74 and the star freezing in issue #91.
This is Superman issue #66, while the skyscraper feat is from issue #65 and the meteor feat is from Action Comics issue #78 (meaning the OG comic line).
Given that I've covered the high-end important feats, I don't really think the rest matter, not that I could track them down.
Edit: They had all the comics in that RT.

Well that seems pretty consistent with the other calculation.Spinosaurus75DinosaurFan said:
Only other calculation is taking the Range quote at it's most literal, and having Superman lift the entirety of the mountain range to Metropolis at once. Assuming he still has to go 100 miles to pickup on end and not have to go all the way to the middle to get all the mountains, He'd have to pick up wabout 500 mountains i could find that are actually named and measured, with about 1500 Meters in average elevation among them all.

Has anyone checked if the 6-A feat is by early/mid golden age Superman?

Anyway should we go with 6-A then?
