I read a fan theory somewhere that Superman’s actual powers are matter manipulation, able to change things like densities, speed, and energy with just a touch. It was interesting to think about.
How does the light from a different star give him all those powers? The original story is that the gamma rays from our star feed his cells, giving him super strength and speed. His power creep over the decades has truly become ridiculous.
At one point, he had a power where he could create a mini version of himself from the palm of his hand. He had so many ridiculous powers, even the comic writers themselves went “hold on, we gotta get this shit under control.”
