Part one in a series of revisions for Superboy-Prime, because I don't think his page accurately displays what he's actually like, and this is probably the more agreeable revisiion
Superboy-Prime actually has several appearances outside of Infinite Crisis and Countdown, most notably being a recurring villain in Adventure Comics and is notably not quite as strong in them, getting defeated by the efforts of Krypto, Superman, Supergirl, and Power Girl during Tales of the Sinestro Corps (CW: Scans have a dog (Krypto) getting pretty beat up, if you're sensitive to that, be wary).
For transparency sake, he was hit with Red Solar Radiation prior, but it was a small dose and clearly didn't deplete his full strength.
This is justified in Adventure Comics Vol 2 4 where Alex Luthor explains that his power varies on his rage, and he can't get as mad nowadays.
So, I suggest Superboy-Prime becomes "Varies, 4-B up to 2-C depending on rage" with his 4-B key scaling off of Krypto the Superdog. He should also get Rage Power if he currently doesn't have that.
Edit: As Tracer pointed out, he should also vary depending on solar intake.

Additionally, he has a few more forms that should be added to his tabber. Nothing that affects tiers, but there's Superboy and Superman-Prime.
