Do these count as Energy Draining Resistance?

Do any of these feats count as Energy Draining resistance for Superman?

The Final Night #1 and #2 Drained by a Sun eater, still has enough energy to rescue others and "move as fast as he can" The same draining gave Inferno frostbite and seemed to drain Alpha Centurian, Lightray, and Ultraboy.

The very next page, he's talking normally, flying away and wants to continue to fight whereas the other heroes seem to be out of commission.

Action Comics 850

Superman resists Blackstar draining him and Supergirl long enough for Supergirl and the Legion to send Supergirl's memory patterns back in time into his brain. He's even able to use his heat vision. While this could be argued that Supergirl repowered him, it's explictly stated the only energy sent back was her brainwaves.

Adventures of Superman 616: Superman resists and overcomes the Hollow Men draining him of his life energy, color, memory, hope, and dreams. They had been shown to drain The Ray, The Elongated Man and several normal humans in previous issues (shown in the beginning of the albulm for scaling)

Superman vol 2 (1987) 185

Major Force uses "Dark Quantum Energy" to "suck the solar radiation right out of" Superman's cells. Superman is still able to retain enough energy to fly, hit Major Force hard enough to break his dilusteel skin, and use heat vision to melt him

Acton Comics 827-828

Superman fights Repulse, a split personality of Doctor Polaris "More powerful than the original" and despite her draining his solar radiation, her blinding him by switching his vision to infrared and him trying to talk to Doctor Polaris instead of fighting back, Superman retains enough solar energy to break Polaris' constructs, punch through her, fly, and use heat vision. He and Lois even note until Polaris pulled off an EMP (the move that turned him yellow and skeletal for a panel) he was able to fight her and protect all the civilians.

For New 52 Superman

Superman (2011) 23.4

Superman is drained by Parasite, heat visions him and then freezes him https://imgur.com/a/bNVXur9

Superman 2011 #27

Drained by Parasite, flies and knocks him through 12 floors to defeat him.

For comparison, Flash was drained to incapacitation by Parasite just getting near him, and he drained much of Hal Jordan's ring in Justice League of America (2015) #1 and people were being drained to a skeleton just from a touch in both comics.

You can ask Eficiente and Firestorm808 to comment here.
 
The second one seems good.

The third one is good but the context of how he did it needs to be worded.

The others I don't agree with, and a second opinion on the matter would be appreciated.
