Probes were Probes--there weren't different classes of Probes. Anyways, I don't see what the point of arguing this is. It's one arc/time period where the writers and editors all really bought into the idea of Superman having extra gears that most heroes do not. And in his hardest to access, highest gear, Superman was truly beastly. More than Thanos. So what? It's not as if OWAW is the definitive Superman portrayal--there are no definitive portrayals.
