In Superman/Batman (2011) #80, titled “World’s Finest Part Two”, Superman performs an energy projection feat. In an attack on the 853rd century and the 21st century, Epoch comes to the 21st century to conquer it. In a battle with Epoch, Superman, Batman and Robin are trapped in Epoch’s Omega Barrier which is the event horizon of a black hole. During the battle, Superman shatters Epoch’s Omega Barrier with his heat vision.
How much energy projection does it take for Superman to shatter Epoch’s Omega Barrier?

SUPERMAN SHATTERED THE OMEGA BARRIER OF MASS 2.02*1027 KG WITH EVENT HORIZON OF SCHWARZSCHILD’S RADIUS OF 3 METERS WITH HIS HEAT VISION.
SUPERMAN GENERATED THE EQUIVALENT OF 8.4005311*10-28 J OF HAWKING RADIATION TO CAUSE THE VIRTUAL PARTICLES AND ANTI-PARTICLES PAIRS TO APPEAR OUTSIDE THE BLACK HOLE’S EVENT HORIZON. AND SUPERMAN GENERATED GRAVITATIONAL POTENTIAL ENERGY OF 3.0257386*1044 J TO OPPOSE THE BLACK HOLE’S GRAVITATIONAL POTENTIAL ENERGY.
OVERALL, EQUIVALENT TO THE GRAVITATIONAL POTENTIAL ENERGY OF 1315.53852174 SOLS, ENOUGH TO DESTROY A LARGE STAR.
ENERGY PROJECTION FEAT:
GALAXY
Energy Projection: Galaxy 75%

Superman shattered Epoch’s Omega Barrier. We will calculate the gravitational energy of a black hole the size of the Omega Barrier’s Schwarzschild radius in order to estimate Superman’s energy projection.
NUMBER CRUNCHING
First, we calculate the black hole’s mass. Using the eye test, the Omega Barrier likely had a Schwarzschild radius of 3 m. Let’s use the Schwarzschild Radius Calculator.

According to current theory, black holes may emit blackbody radiation or Hawking radiation. Then, let’s use the gravitational field in order to calculate its gravitational potential.
Gravitational energy = U = mgh = (2019952964461358659171001846 kg)(14979252978946961 m/s2)(10 m) = 3.0257386*1044 J = 3.0257386*1044 W.
Finally, let’s convert to Tons of TNT.
Ratio of sun’s gravitational energy = (3.0257386*1044 J)/(2.3*1041 J) = 1315.53852174.
Tons of TNT = (3.0257386*1044 J)/(4.2*109 J) = 7.2041395*1034 tons of TNT.
INTELLIGENCE
Superman generated 3.0257386*1044 W of power with his heat vision. In order to shatter Epoch’s Omega Barrier, Superman had to generate a Galaxy-Level of Energy Projection.

Calculations for Superman, ‘Superman/Batman’ Vol 1 #80
Earth mass black hole density = 4 × 10^14 g/cm^3.
Mass = (4 × 10^17 kg/m^3)(27 m^3) = 1.08*10^19 kg.
kT = hg/2pic = hc/4pirs = ((6.62607015 × 10^-34 J/s)(3*10^8 m/s))/((4*3.14*2*3.14)(3 m)) = 8.4005311*10^-28 J of Hawking radiation = 8.4005311*10^-28 W.
g = G * M / r²
g = ((6.67 × 10−11 N/m^2*s^2)(1.08*1019 kg))/(9 m^2) = 6.684*10^19 m/s^2.
Gravitational energy = U = mgh = (2019952964461358659171001846 kg)(14979252978946961 m/s^2)(10 m) = 3.0257386*10^44 J = 3.0257386*10^44 W.
Ratio of Sol’s gravitational energy = (3.0257386*10^44 J)/(2.3*10^41 J) = 1315.53852174.
Tons of TNT = (3.0257386*10^44 J)/(4.2*10^9 J) = 7.2041395*10^34 tons of TNT.
