Beyond all the personal utility and fun super strength can give you..."good enough" can get you killed.Imagine caring about a strength increase in a superhero world, when you have a power ring.
Now, I know nothing about this formula this Paul took, so I can't say.
But have a Kon level of Super human strength or higher would have really been helpful to OL when...
1. They all got mind-fucked and OL spent all his ring charge thinking it was dream.
2. Truggs took his ring, and only some fast talk saved him from Bane.
3. He took his ring off to take a crap, and the Elemental Androids attacked.
4. Klarion fucked with his ring, and OL was reduced to trying to shoot him.
Not for nothing, there is a reason Sodom Yat is such a powerful lantern. He has a power ring AND the powers of a Kryptonian.
Sure, skill in important, but there is a level of sheer power that overcomes all of that.
Now, I barely know what is canon in DC anymore (I don't think they do either) and I know people hate him (And I get it) but...
Superboy-Prime has ZERO skill and ZERO tactical ability, and is usually in the middle of a freak out or temper tantrum.
And yet....and yet not only can he beat the Anti-Monitor TO DEATH with his bare hands, he can take on EVERY SINGLE DC Hero AT ONCE...and be winning (He's done both).
Why? Because he has the power of SILVER AGE Superman.
Silver age Superman being THE single most powerful character in all of god damn fiction I'd wager.
Unfortunately....it seems this Paul seriously fucked up his scientific method...and now bad shit's gonna happen.
