hes not much worst (at all), and back 1 is black adams best trap (+4) granting a 22The laser has ridiculous long start up. It can be seen online which laser it is (straight or sweep) AND reacted to. If you block the straight laser, that's your fault. It has a slow start up and does not trade if Superman is hit before the beam hits you.
As far as the frame data goes, that is how ALL of the top tier characters are. Using Black Adam as an example,
the strings people use in tournaments are plus on block or safe. He has many strings with advantage on block. B23 is +3, 113 is +3, 13 is +5, cancelling into orbs gives advantage with a free ~5% on block. This is in addition to him having better mobility and zoning than Superman. The only normals or strings he has that are punishable (-6 or more) are D2 and D3.
What makes Black Adam so much worse than Superman?
Both characters are broken for very similar reasons
Black adam has top notch mobility, hes great up close (20% grabs, ex lightning, always being at advantage, dive kick punishes back dash for 40%), he does insane damage and can anti-air with both zoning tools, has great chip and pushback, and his trait is cheap as hell because it grants him 12 percent, he also has great footsies(one of very few characters who does). Black adam has the best counter-zoning in the game, with amazing reward... and hes impossible to catch up to in time... he also has an inter-actable advantage because of this
Superman's zoning is too good for how good is footsies and counter-zoning are also, he does massive chip, his footsies are 10 times better than anybody in the game, hes extremely mobile (instant air dashes, great dashes) ... his tools control the game... he is a bitch to catch and can air zone... and he has an 8 frame mid launcher with INSANE range, he can also trait cancel and grab for high damage...
Both him and black adam are overpowered and insanely hard to deal with extremely mobile characters... its just superman is too good for much simpler reasons, f23
