Checking here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apparent_magnitude the sun is listed as "about 400,000 times as bright as mean full Moon" so pretty accurate.

Comic panels taken out of comics so we can make fun of them!! We love the golden age stuff!
Rules:
-
Comics must come from actual comic books. No AI or Photoshops.
-
Single panels are preferred.
-
Comics should be unintentionally funny. Spider-man cracking wise is not what this is about.
-
Don't be a dick.
-
I can't believe I've had to add this... NO RACISM.

You do know the moon doesn't generate its own light, right?
A mirror doesn't generate its own light either, but would you try shooting a weapons grade laser into one and pointing it at one of your eye sockets?
The original post is equivalent to saying "this mirror is 1/8 the brightness of the light bulb in my room" and then buying 8 mirrors and turning off the light bulb.
