History
While the individual details vary, certain key elements have remained consistent in almost all retellings.

Superman is born Kal-El on the alien planet Krypton. His parents, Jor-El and Lara become aware of Krypton's impending destruction and Jor-El begins constructing a spacecraft that would carry Kal-El to Earth. During Krypton's last moments, Jor-El places young Kal-El in the spacecraft and launches it. Jor-El and Lara die as the spacecraft barely escapes Krypton's fate. The explosion transforms planetary debris into kryptonite, a radioactive substance that is lethal to superpowered (as by Earth's yellow sun) Kryptonians.

The spacecraft lands in the rural United States, where it is found by a passing motorist. Jonathan and Martha Kent adopt Kal-El and name him Clark Kent. As Clark grows up on Earth, he and his adoptive parents discover that he has superhuman powers. The Kents teach Clark to use these powers responsibly to help others and fight crime.

Clark keeps his powers secret in order to protect his family and friends, who might be endangered by his criminal enemies. In order to use his powers to help humanity, Clark creates the alter ego of Superman. A number of elements are added to each identity to keep them distinct enough to prevent the casual observer from matching them. Superman wears a characteristic red and blue costume with a letter "S" emblem and a cape. Clark Kent takes to wearing glasses, styling his hair differently, changing his body language, significantly altering his voice, and wearing looser clothing and suits that hide his physique.

Clark Kent moves to Metropolis and takes a job as a reporter at the Daily Planet, where he meets his friends and co-workers, Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen and Editor Perry White. Superman becomes the subject of frequent headline stories written by Lois, and the two become romantically attracted to each other.

Physical Abilities

 * Kryptonian Physiology: As a Kryptonian, Superman's powers rely on his cells' ability to absorb and metabolize solar energy from yellow stars like Earth's Sun. His Kryptonian body is a living "solar battery" that absorbs solar energies and converts them to fuel for vast superhuman abilities that wouldn't otherwise be afforded under Rao, Krypton's red supergiant. His cells also store yellow sun energy so he can use his powers under objects, at night, in dark places, and in space. Pre-Crisis, yellow stars were said to emit "ultra solar rays" which enabled Kryptonians' superpowers; penetrating the Earth itself, said rays also enabled Kryptonians to stay super-powered at night. Post-Crisis, it is the overall high intensity of yellow solar radiation, versus the far weaker red solar radiation of Krypton's sun, that is shown as causing Kryptonians' superpowers. The more yellow star rays Superman absorbs the stronger he gets; in some instances he has been shown to enter the sun in order to increase his powers to their highest potentials. Superman can also absorb solar energies of other class stars such as white stars and also when he absorbed the solar energies of a blue star that increased his abilities to a higher degree and gave him additional abilities. The light of dwarf stars, pulsars, and quasars also grants Superman different abilities. However, he cannot gain enhanced abilities from the energy of red stars; various reasons have been given for this.
 * Superhuman Strength: Enhanced physical strength infinitely above that of a human and even most super-humans, making him "more powerful than a locomotive," is one of Superman's signature powers and has often been described as chief among his other abilities. Superman has consistently been shown to have strength levels that would rank as "Class 100+" on the Marvel Comics Power Grid. Depictions of the upper limit of how much weight he can lift have ranged from being able to do the work of several laborers in half the time, crush diamonds in his grasp, lift objects hundreds of times his own weight including any sized vehicle over his head, bend steel with his bare hands, and lifting mountains, even lifting the weight of Earth for days without rest or sunlight. It is possible that Superman's powers have no upper bound as long as there are stars or star like objects.
 * Superhuman Speed: Another one of Superman's signature abilities is his superhuman speed, allowing him to move, react, run and fly faster than the human eye can perceive. It was originally—and famously—classified as being "faster than a speeding bullet," allowing him to catch bullets in mid-air before they hit him, or anyone else. His top speeds have ranged from nearly a hundred miles per hour when he was first created in the 1930s to speeds surpassing the speed of light. His thoughts, perceptions and reflexes are also accelerated to be able to control his actions while moving at high speeds and being able to perceive the world in slow-motion. Superman's running speed has often been shown to be on par with that of The Flash's.
 * Superhuman Durability/Invulnerability: Immunity to almost all forms of harm and ailments, including extreme force and extremely high temperatures. Explanations for this ability have ranged from Kryptonians having a molecular structure with a density superior to that of titanium and having strong bonds within the cells of his body that cannot be pulled apart.

Powers and Abilities

 * Superhuman Breath: The ability to inhale and exhale huge volumes of air with great force, capable of extinguishing large fires and moving heavy objects such as cars. Super-breath also allows Superman to hold his breath for extended periods in airless environments. The release (exhalation) of highly compressed air through a valve (such as pursed lips) causes it to drop radically in temperature. This is known as the Joule–Thomson effect, and when Superman does this, it is usually referred to as Freeze Breath, Freezing Breath, Arctic Breath, or Ice Breath, and can cool almost anything to sub-zero temperatures and freeze air moisture solid, effectively creating ice.
 * Healing Factor: Superman is shown, especially in recent comics, to possess remarkable recuperative powers that allow him to quickly heal from wounds and makes him immune to all forms of human or Earthly diseases, illnesses, viruses and toxins. Superman heals faster when he is closer to the sun and absorbing more solar rays. Once, when his body was hit with the full force of a nuke, he absorbed solar energy from the plant life around him, re-energizing him, but killing the plants around him.
 * True Flight: Because Earth and the Sun exhibits less gravitational pull than that of Krypton, and also due to his solar-powered body, the Man of Steel can also alter his personal mono-directional gravity field to propel himself through the air and through outer space at will.
 * Superhuman Senses:
 * X-Ray Vision – The ability to see through solid objects, usually with the exception of lead. Early stories assumed that hiding objects in lead would prevent him from finding them; however, more modern stories have Superman being able to take advantage of lead's x-ray opacity to do a wide scan of an area with his X-Ray vision in which the lead objects become immediately visible and then narrow his search to those specific locations. Explanations for how this power works vary, but rarely include the emission and perception of actual X-Rays, as such high-energy radiation would actually be dangerous to living things on which he uses it. Another theory involves being able to see and concentrate on the patterns of natural cosmic radiation as it reverberates off objects. X-Ray vision was first used by Superman in Action Comics #11 (April 1939), where it was called "Superman's X-ray eyesight."
 * Superhuman Hearing – Can hear far more sounds with far more detail and at far greater distances than normally humanly possible, including sounds on frequencies undetectable by humans such as dog whistles. Superman is able to mentally screen out most of these sounds to be able to function normally, even in a noisy environment, and can focus in on specific things, like a person's voice or heartbeat, even if they are in another part of the city. He can sometimes be shown to hear sounds on other planets, which makes it likely that his hearing is fundamentally different from that of a human, as sound cannot travel through the vacuum of space. Like humans and most animals, he is skilled at automatically noticing his own name out of the jumble of several overheard conversations, making him adept at quickly responding to calls of distress all over the city.
 * Superhuman Vision – His senses grant him the ability to see farther and with greater accuracy and detail than humanly possible. Sometimes includes the ability to see EM frequencies invisible to humans, such as radio transmissions, infrared light, and the bioelectric aura which surrounds all living things, even in pitch-black darkness. Offshoots of this power include Telescopic Vision, which allows him to "zoom in" on far away objects, sometimes hundreds of miles away, and Microscopic Vision, which allows him to zoom in on objects that would normally be too small to see, like those on a cellular or molecular level.
 * Superhuman Olfaction – A heightened and highly accurate sense of smell comparable to some animals such as dogs. Can be used to detect things like the chemicals in a bomb hidden somewhere in a crowded room. Not all versions of Superman display this power.
 * Vocal Abilities — Superman has shown possession of various vocal abilities. Stories have shown him being capable of raising his voice to loudspeaker levels, for purposes such as delivering a message to a large crowd.
 * 4d vision- Superman can adjust his vision to see other dimensions.
 * Heat Vision: the ability to emit solar energy from his eyes. This usually resembles bright red or orange laser-like beams, which may be invisible at low intensities but extremely bright at high ones. The effective range of his beams can be at least several miles. It can also reach hundreds of miles wide, instantly disintegrating a person, and creating a destructive wave of heat capable of wiping out an army of Doomsdays in seconds (Superman/Batman: Apocalypse). In addition to varying the beam width, height, and intensity, Superman has demonstrated a high degree of skill and accuracy in manipulating his beam, being able to use this power with surgical precision and at microscopic levels. Superman can lobotomize or excise someone's psionic powers as shown in The Elite when he cut off Manchester Black's powers, or performing a brain surgery on himself. Since the power can be used invisibly, Superman often takes advantage of that to perform tasks subtly without needing to get into costume. In some versions, these beams can also be used to rapidly expand air or other matter to produce great concussive force. The beams are tremendously powerful, and can be used to rupture steel plates and pulverize rock. Also in some stories, it can be reflected like a true laser, able to use great skill and accuracy in manipulating the blasts off multiple targets in rapid succession, or more mundanely to remove his very durable facial hair. Sometimes shown to be one of his more physically draining powers to use, as it uses such concentrated solar energy. In the Pre-Crisis stories, Clark wears glasses with lenses made of Kryptonian glass (initially salvaged from his rocket ship's transparency dome) so he can fire his heat vision through them without damaging them. In the stories from the 1986 relaunch onward, Clark wears glasses with regular lenses, which force Clark to momentarily lift them out of his eyes' firing arc to use his heat vision effectively. In revision in Superman: Secret Origin, Clark wears glasses with Kryptonian glass that are intended to contain unwanted firings. Heat vision was initially introduced as "the heat of his x-ray vision" (a byproduct of his existing x-ray vision powers) in Superman (vol. 1) #59 (July 1949); heat vision as a separate power first appeared in Action Comics #275 (April 1961). The Heat vision is so intense that it's considered to be hotter than the sun and can pierce the flesh of some of the strongest DC characters like Darkseid, Doomsday or Shazam.
 * Bio-Electric Aura Manipulation: Superman can manipulate his bio-electric aura to form a forcefield to protect himself and others.
 * Resistant to most poisons (unless the poisons are infused with kryptonite)

Kryptonite effects

 * Green - Decreases his powers and can slowly kill him

Other feats: 

Weaknesses and Faults

 * Superman's powers and limits are extremely inconsistent; although DC has officially stated that these weaker depictions are due to Superman not mastering his powers during those incidents, Superman's doubt or mental blocks not allowing his full potential, or due to the other weaknesses listed below. It can also be simply due to writer bias or certain writers 'doing whatever the hell they please'.
 * Avoids using his full power to not harm civilians or to not accidentally kill his enemy. Superman kills only if he has no other choice (Zod, Doomsday). Tends to negotiate with his enemies to prevent a fight from starting. Goes out of his way to save others no matter the risk, including saving some of his villains.
 * Many of his duels involve him using this restraint; hence why any duel against Superman can be dragged out to several minutes. Because Superman allows battles to last longer than they should; it does give his enemies opportunities to create traps or exploit other advantages. Within multiple Superman canons; many characters criticize Superman for allowing supervillains to cause more death and destruction by prolonging the battle instead of quickly killing them with his full power. Otherwise; an unrestrained Superman would defeat most enemies swiftly and effortlessly.
 * Even at full power; Superman's indestructibility has exploitable weaknesses
 * Radiation (other than yellow or blue sun radiation)
 * Kryptonite (various types)
 * Green Kryptonite poisons Superman's cells by replacing his stored sunlight with a more harmful wavelength of radiation. This normally affects Superman at a distance of a few meters; however massive asteroids of kryptonite can affect Superman from outter-space. Kryptonite can weaken Superman so much that normal humans like Joker, Lex Luthor and Batman (including when he's in his basic outfit) can easily harm and overpower him with their ordinary strength. Superman is also unable to heal from injuries properly while poisoned. Sometimes Kryptonite poisoning is so severe that it immobilizes Superman; sometimes even sending Superman into a seizure or comma. This poisonous radiation will eventually kill Superman if under constant exposure. Once the Kryptonite is removed; Superman will eventually heal from the damage it causes and gradually regain his powers. (With a few exceptions) it remains Superman's most consistent weakness and is considered to be the only guaranteed way to kill Superman.
 * Weapons made out of Green Kryptonite negates Superman's indestructibility. A Kryptonite Spear to Superman is just as sharp and deadly as a regular spear to a normal unarmored human.
 * Over the years, Superman has built up some resistance to Kryptonite; In Justice League Doom: Metallo shoots Superman with a Kryptonite bullet; quickly sending Superman into a coma. In Superman/Batman: Public Enemies: Superman was weakened yet still active for several minutes despite again being shot in the heart by Metallo. In Superman Returns: he can lift an island made of Kryptonite and have enough strength to throw the island into space, only to fall into a coma afterwards. In Injustice 2: Superman can easily break out of Kryptonite handcuffs and yet is still powerful enough to fight Supergirl, Brainiac and Darkseid fairly. In the comics; Superman has used kryptonian meditation to better filter out kryptonite poisoning.
 * Red Kryptonite: : Gives Superman a random mutation for several hours; including giving him multiple limbs or turning him evil.
 * Gold Kryptonite: Kryptonite that has been exposed to Atomic Radiation. This Kryptonite is similar to red sunlight radiation as it disables a Kryptonian's ability to use their solar energy and thus; disable their powers. However prolonged exposure to Gold Kryptonite will permanently disable a Kryptonian's power.
 * Red star radiation (reduces Superman to peak human condition)
 * This is best done indoors with artificial red sunlight; as Superman can instantly regain his powers if exposed to yellow sunlight.
 * Nuclear/Atomic radiation, like from a nuclear bomb, is sometimes able to harm him in the same kind of radiation poisoning expected from Kryptonite. (However a quick dose of sunlight energy is enough to repair the damage.) It should be noted that this weakness (like many others on this list) is inconsistent.
 * Vulnerable to godly magical attacks (though he has been trained by Zatanna to be more resistant to magic)
 * Magic is able to harm Superman, but most magical attacks do not instantly kill him. He can still tank damage, especially with his healing factor.
 * There are two reasons why magic affects Superman; Magic, like kryptonite, creates a unique type of radiation that harms kryptonians. Also magic in general does not follow the strict laws of reality.
 * Realitywarpers like Mxyzptlk can overwhelm him.
 * Other Kryptonians or others characters of godlike or nigh infinite power are sometimes able to harm him, even when Superman is depicted at his strongest.
 * Likewise characters akin to Kryptonians also share this trait including Doomsday (sometimes depicted as a prehistoric Kryptonian or infused with modern Kryptonian DNA), and Bizzaro Kryptonians.
 * The Injustice 'Kryptonian Pill' functions the same way (giving people Kryptonian physique), hence why once normal humans like Alfred were able to defeat Superman in a duel.
 * Attacks that bypass or ignore his indestructible skin can still harm him. (Superman vs the Elites: Manchester Black used his psychic attacks to attack Superman's internal organs).
 * Evolving, adapting or copying characters like Doomsday, Parasite or Amazo can develop their powers or weapons to bypass Superman's indestructible skin.
 * Will eventually decrease in power if out of sunlight for too long and taking too much damage.
 * His healing factor requires yellow sunlight radiation: otherwise his wounds won't heal quickly.
 * Lex Luthor and Brainiac have made weapons or robots designed to drain Superman's solar energy.
 * Superman has several other obscure or outlier weaknesses. Again, what Superman is weak to varies on the writer.
 * For example: Aging affects Superman in different ways; sometimes making him stronger because of experience and sunlight exposure, sometimes making him weaker.
 * Another example is Mind Control: both magical and non-magical. Sometimes Superman can resist godlike mind-controllers, sometimes the most basic magic can control him.
 * The Question and Lex Luthor theorized that the chi within planet Earth potentially could counter Superman's solar energy and thus be a potential weakness to him. (It should be noted that this weakness was never proven, only appearance in one issue, and that Superman has easily survived natural energy attacks from other superhumans multiple times; so contrary to popular belief, this 'planet chi' is NOT like ki from DBZ.)
 * Has been defeated by physically inferior enemies; frequently due to the aforementioned weakness exploitation.
 * For example, the majority of his losses against Batman involved Batman using kryptonite.
 * Superman's loss against Muhammad Ali was due to the boxing ring being put under a red sunlight: thus eliminating Superman's superpowers.
 * Intangible characters like Livewire and Microwaveman are immune to Superman's attacks.
 * Cannot see through lead
 * Lex Luthor has used this to hide certain things from Superman.
 * He was 'killed' by Doomsday
 * Doomsday's evolutionary invincibility has made him progressively harder to defeat and so Superman has been overwhelmed in some of their rematches; especially since Superman runs out of options to kill Doomsday while Doomsday adapts to bypass Superman's indestructibility.
 * Superman's super-senses are very sensitive; meaning electrical shocks and loud or high pitched noises are painful (but normally not harmful or lethal otherwise).
 * Despite his intelligence; he can be outsmarted by Lex Luthor and Batman.
 * His cape can easily be snagged or grabbed. While iconic; it has no purpose in battle.
 * On multiple occasions has been guilty of superdickery

Physical Abilities

 * Kryptonian Physiology: As a Kryptonian, Superman's powers rely on his cells' ability to absorb and metabolize solar energy from yellow stars like Earth's Sun. His Kryptonian body is a living "solar battery" that absorbs solar energies and converts them to fuel for vast superhuman abilities that wouldn't otherwise be afforded under Rao, Krypton's red supergiant. His cells also store yellow sun energy so he can use his powers under objects, at night, in dark places, and in space.
 * Superhuman Strength: Enhanced physical strength far above that of a human and even most super-humans, making him "more powerful than a locomotive," is one of Superman's signature powers and has often been described as chief among his other abilities.
 * Superhuman Speed: Another one of Superman's signature abilities is his superhuman speed, allowing him to move, react, run and fly faster than the human eye can perceive. It was originally—and famously—classified as being "faster than a speeding bullet," allowing him to catch bullets in mid-air before they hit him, or anyone else.

His thoughts, perceptions and reflexes are also accelerated to be able to control his actions while moving at high speeds and being able to perceive the world in slow-motion.
 * Superhuman Durability/Invulnerability: Immunity to almost all forms of harm and ailments, including extreme force and extremely high temperatures.

Powers and Abilities

 * Superhuman Breath: The ability to inhale and exhale huge volumes of air with great force, capable of extinguishing large fires and moving heavy objects such as cars. Super-breath also allows Superman to hold his breath for extended periods in airless environments. The release (exhalation) of highly compressed air through a valve (such as pursed lips) causes it to drop radically in temperature. This is known as the Joule–Thomson effect, and when Superman does this, it is usually referred to as Freeze Breath, Freezing Breath, Arctic Breath, or Ice Breath, and can cool almost anything to sub-zero temperatures and freeze air moisture solid, effectively creating ice.
 * Healing Factor: Superman is shown, especially in recent comics, to possess remarkable recuperative powers that allow him to quickly heal from wounds and makes him immune to all forms of human or Earthly diseases, illnesses, viruses and toxins. Superman heals faster when he is closer to the sun and absorbing more solar rays.
 * True Flight: Because Earth and the Sun exhibits less gravitational pull than that of Krypton, and also due to his solar-powered body, the Man of Steel can also alter his personal mono-directional gravity field to propel himself through the air and through outer space at will.
 * Superhuman Senses:
 * X-Ray Vision – The ability to see through solid objects, usually with the exception of lead. Early stories assumed that hiding objects in lead would prevent him from finding them; however, more modern stories have Superman being able to take advantage of lead's x-ray opacity to do a wide scan of an area with his X-Ray vision in which the lead objects become immediately visible and then narrow his search to those specific locations. Explanations for how this power works vary, but rarely include the emission and perception of actual X-Rays, as such high-energy radiation would actually be dangerous to living things on which he uses it. Another theory involves being able to see and concentrate on the patterns of natural cosmic radiation as it reverberates off objects. X-Ray vision was first used by Superman in Action Comics #11 (April 1939), where it was called "Superman's X-ray eyesight." If X-Ray Vision is used at full intensity, it becomes an offensive attack known as Heat Vision.
 * Superhuman Hearing – Can hear far more sounds with far more detail and at far greater distances than normally humanly possible, including sounds on frequencies undetectable by humans such as dog whistles. Superman is able to mentally screen out most of these sounds to be able to function normally, even in a noisy environment, and can focus in on specific things, like a person's voice or heartbeat, even if they are in another part of the city. He can sometimes be shown to hear sounds on other planets, which makes it likely that his hearing is fundamentally different from that of a human, as sound cannot travel through the vacuum of space. Like humans and most animals, he is skilled at automatically noticing his own name out of the jumble of several overheard conversations, making him adept at quickly responding to calls of distress all over the city.
 * Superhuman Vision – His senses grant him the ability to see farther and with greater accuracy and detail than humanly possible. Sometimes includes the ability to see EM frequencies invisible to humans, such as radio transmissions, infrared light, and the bioelectric aura which surrounds all living things, even in pitch-black darkness. Offshoots of this power include Telescopic Vision, which allows him to "zoom in" on far away objects, sometimes hundreds of miles away, and Microscopic Vision, which allows him to zoom in on objects that would normally be too small to see, like those on a cellular or molecular level.
 * Superhuman Olfaction – A heightened and highly accurate sense of smell comparable to some animals such as dogs. Can be used to detect things like the chemicals in a bomb hidden somewhere in a crowded room. Not all versions of Superman display this power.
 * Vocal Abilities — Superman has shown possession of various vocal abilities. Stories have shown him being capable of raising his voice to loudspeaker levels, for purposes such as delivering a message to a large crowd.
 * Mental Manipulation - Superman can use hypnosis and telepathy to manipulate, modify and control thoughts, mindsets, and upper brain functions, allowing the ability to render others unconscious, suppress their memories, and negate the use of abilities, increase/decrease mental capacity, modify minds to be agreeable, sway sensations to induce altered perception, bestow mental disorders or break down mental barriers.
 * Magnetism Manipulation: Superman has a "super-magnetic touch" which he can utilize to manipulate magnetism on a local scale. He has used this ability to unlock doors.
 * Time Travel: Superman can use his super speed to travel through time.

Feats

 * Created a Sun by fusing two moons together
 * Blows out a star using super breath
 * Fought a weakened Anti-Monitor, tanking an attack that contained the total energy of the Antimatter Universe in the process
 * Crossed light-years in instants and time traveled at the same time

Faults and Weaknesses

 * Red star radiation
 * Was a bit of a dick
 * Kryptonite
 * Magic
 * Cannot see through lead

Physical Abilities

 * Kryptonian Physiology: As a Kryptonian, Superman's powers rely on his cells' ability to absorb and metabolize solar energy from yellow stars like Earth's Sun. His Kryptonian body is a living "solar battery" that absorbs solar energies and converts them to fuel for vast superhuman abilities that wouldn't otherwise be afforded under Rao, Krypton's red supergiant. His cells also store yellow sun energy so he can use his powers under objects, at night, in dark places, and in space.
 * Superhuman Strength: Enhanced physical strength far above that of a human and even most super-humans, making him "more powerful than a locomotive," is one of Superman's signature powers and has often been described as chief among his other abilities.
 * Superhuman Speed: Another one of Superman's signature abilities is his superhuman speed, allowing him to move, react, run and fly faster than the human eye can perceive. It was originally—and famously—classified as being "faster than a speeding bullet," allowing him to catch bullets in mid-air before they hit him, or anyone else. His top speeds have ranged from nearly a hundred miles per hour when he was first created in the 1930s to speeds surpassing the speed of light. His thoughts, perceptions and reflexes are also accelerated to be able to control his actions while moving at high speeds and being able to perceive the world in slow-motion.
 * Superhuman Durability/Invulnerability: Immunity to almost all forms of harm and ailments, including extreme force and extremely high temperatures.

Powers and Abilities

 * Superhuman Breath: The ability to inhale and exhale huge volumes of air with great force, capable of extinguishing large fires and moving heavy objects such as cars. Super-breath also allows Superman to hold his breath for extended periods in airless environments. The release (exhalation) of highly compressed air through a valve (such as pursed lips) causes it to drop radically in temperature. This is known as the Joule–Thomson effect, and when Superman does this, it is usually referred to as Freeze Breath, Freezing Breath, Arctic Breath, or Ice Breath, and can cool almost anything to sub-zero temperatures and freeze air moisture solid, effectively creating ice.
 * Healing Factor: Superman is shown, especially in recent comics, to possess remarkable recuperative powers that allow him to quickly heal from wounds and makes him immune to all forms of human or Earthly diseases, illnesses, viruses and toxins. Superman heals faster when he is closer to the sun and absorbing more solar rays.
 * True Flight: Because Earth and the Sun exhibits less gravitational pull than that of Krypton, and also due to his solar-powered body, the Man of Steel can also alter his personal mono-directional gravity field to propel himself through the air and through outer space at will.
 * Superhuman Senses:
 * X-Ray Vision – The ability to see through solid objects, usually with the exception of lead. Early stories assumed that hiding objects in lead would prevent him from finding them; however, more modern stories have Superman being able to take advantage of lead's x-ray opacity to do a wide scan of an area with his X-Ray vision in which the lead objects become immediately visible and then narrow his search to those specific locations. Explanations for how this power works vary, but rarely include the emission and perception of actual X-Rays, as such high-energy radiation would actually be dangerous to living things on which he uses it. Another theory involves being able to see and concentrate on the patterns of natural cosmic radiation as it reverberates off objects. X-Ray vision was first used by Superman in Action Comics #11 (April 1939), where it was called "Superman's X-ray eyesight."
 * Superhuman Hearing – Can hear far more sounds with far more detail and at far greater distances than normally humanly possible, including sounds on frequencies undetectable by humans such as dog whistles.

 * Vocal Abilities — Superman has shown possession of various vocal abilities. Stories have shown him being capable of raising his voice to loudspeaker levels, for purposes such as delivering a message to a large crowd.
 * Heat Vision: the ability to emit solar energy from his eyes. This usually resembles bright red or orange laser-like beams, which may be invisible at low temperatures but extremely bright at high ones. The effective range of his beams are hundreds of feet. It can also reach hundreds of miles wide, instantly disintegrating a person, and creating a destructive wave of heat. In addition to varying the beam width, height, and intensity, Superman has demonstrated a high degree of skill and accuracy in manipulating his beam, being able to use this power with surgical precision and at microscopic levels. In some versions, these beams can also be used to rapidly expand air or other matter to produce great concussive force. The beams are tremendously powerful, and can be used to rupture steel plates and pulverize rock. Also in some stories, it can be reflected like a true laser, able to use great skill and accuracy in manipulating the blasts off multiple targets in rapid succession, or more mundanely to remove his very durable facial hair. Sometimes shown to be one of his more physically draining powers to use, as it uses such concentrated solar energy.
 * Bio-Electric Aura Manipulation: Superman can manipulate his bio-electric aura to form a forcefield to protect himself and others.

 * KC Superman is revealed to be completely immune to the effects of Kryptonite with one exception. If it gets into his eyes it'll burn them a bit and leaves him blinded for a short time. This is later explained by Lex Luthor that due to him absorbing solar radiation for such a long time he is “at the height of his invulnerability”.
 * KC Superman tanks a blast from Magog – showing no signs of damage apart from his cape being burnt to nothing.
 * KC Superman tanks a punch from Hercules as if it was nothing.
 * KC Superman withstands a blast from Gog with the only damage done being to his suit.
 * KC Superman tanks a blast from Pheobus.
 * KC Superman withstands 5 lightning blasts from KC Captain Marvel. Which gives us an idea of what his magic resistance levels must be at now. Although as you can see his eyes turn bloodshot after the final bolt is thrown.
 * As Jay Garrick is running through the city KC Superman blitzes past him. Jay Garrick then compares KC Superman's speed to Wally West, saying “Sonnavagun is fast. Maybe as fast as Wally”.
 * Just as Gog is about to finally execute Jay Garrick with a lightning bolt KC Superman is able to react so fast that he punches the lightning bolt before it his Jay and knocks it right back at Gog.
 * KC Superman is described as having enough strength in one punch to move an entire planet. And it's worth mentioning on this particular occasion KC Superman wasn't out to kill Superboy here. Only to knock him unconscious. So imagine what he could do when he wasn't holding back.

Trivia

 * One episode of Justice League Action has Superman indirectly denounce his duel against Batman in Batman V Superman Dawn of Justice.
 * Stalin literally translates to 'Man of Steel'. Superman once arrested Stalin and Hitler for the 1939 Invasion of Poland. In Superman Red Son: Stalin and his government raises Superman, who becomes Stalin's political successor after his death.
 * He had sex with Talia al Ghul before batman (no, am not joking)
 * Superman owns a small army of robotic clones, which function primarily as his butlers and can sometimes assist in his fights. These robots are still nowhere near as powerful as Superman himself.
 * It is rumored that George Reeves was almost killed because of his portrayal of Superman. George was dressed as Superman and addressing some children fans. One of the kids pulled out a pistol and wanted to confirm if Superman was really bulletproof. George convinced the kid to drop the gun; claiming that 'if the bullet was to ricochet off Superman's chest, then it might harm someone else.'
 * Superman invented the concept of a modern superhero flying naturally without wings. However as iconic as this trope is, it was not created from the comics. Superman traditionally jumped from place to place, akin to the Hulk as both have powerful leg muscles. But when the Fleischer Cartoons appeared in the 1940s the animators decided to also give Superman true flight to make animating Superman much easier. This aesthetic is so common today that some of Superman's rivals share this trait (Shazam, Thor Odinson, Goku).
 * Superman was heavily inspired by 1800s strongmen; which is where his suit's design is based on. The idea that Superman wears 'underpants on the outside' is actually in reference to these strongmen; as their leotards were almost fully transparent and so they needed an extra layer of clothing to cover their visible crotch.
 * Superman's shield on his chest was inspired by a sheriff star: to show that he was a force for good.
 * Superman's powers were originally only superhuman strength, speed, durability, senses and intelligence: basically enhancements of what people can do. His super-vision eventually included X-Ray vision. Heat vision was introduced as a variation of his X-Ray vision; with the radiation being so intense that it could melt objects. This was retconned to be Superman simply expelling his solar energy from his eyes.
 * Superman admits that he could easily get a better career and thus a richer lifestyle as Clark Kent. However he prefers to stay as a Daily Planet journalist to both keep track of crime while also appearing like a basic and average office worker (in order to hide his identity). To Superman; maintaining his heroism is more important than wealth or self-comfort.
 * In 1980 (4 years before Dragon Ball) Akira Toriyama wrote the 37th chapter of his manga Dr. Slump. In it was a joke-character named Sourman or Suppaman; a fat drawf who is a clear parody of Superman.
 * Superman has had a poor reputation as a videogame character; with Superman 64 being considered one of the worst games in gaming history. Multiple game creators claim that depicting Superman is very difficult without nerfing him significantly. The Superman Returns videogame adaption gave the city of Metropolis hitpoints since Superman's nigh indestructibility made it unlikely for him to die ingame.
