But, idk how many tons that he can lift. Literally every kind of question of Superman's powers can be answered with "as much as he needs to". If you want to make an average, you can do it on a writer-to-writer basis and aproximate where his upper limit would be on each portrayal, but not on some asinine "here he lifted x, here y, here z, let's make the mean!
Placidity Batman-Prime Class vin No, as a general rule you can say. Superman lifts always the double amount of WBH limit. Mindship As an "average," I would simply place Superman in the Teraton Class anywhere from 1 trillion to trillion tons.

That's gotta bring his average way down mmm abhilegend Originally posted by Cogito As a reporter, Clark lifts a lot of pencils, pens, notepads and the like. That's gotta bring his average way down mmm Don't give carver ideas.
Byrne designed his power to be basically dynamic and related to his psionics. He did this on purpose as He knew with time other writers will take over Superman and He wanted to give them the liberty of playing with his powers. Couple of times I have seen the reference "Superman is as powerful as he needs to be" So the real average is "as strong or powerful as He needs to be" His psionic powers play a bigger role than his physiology or "godly" heritage. Sometimes I wonder if many people are aware how his psionics affect his own powers and when the phsyology part kicks in.
But superman doesn't lift infinite weight everyday so I believe on average i agree with beinsalsa he lifts whatever he has to, whatever he has to or whatever needs to be done. So he's using a different powerset when he's holding something in mid air; it's not a feat of strength, but an extension of the inner telekenesis that allows him to fly and hover in place. You just have to look at the many non-flying characters who have repeatedly been able to match his strength - Darkseid, Orion, Mongul, Doomsday, Solomon Grundy - none of whom have strength feats on the books as dramatic as Superman's.
That they are in his strength class comes right from DC editorial and from character statements made through the decades. The alleged planet moving feats of years past - it can't happen unless he's flying; he can't stand on one planet and push another.
Hence, different powerset at work. That's not really definitive proof, tbh. Delta Originally posted by roughrider I've gotten into this with people in the past, that his greatest lifting feats have come when he's flying.
This was how Byrne portrayed it. Don't know if anybody else actually followed it. The way you're doing this feels like you're grasping at straws to say Superman isn't really as strong as he is. Salsa already pointed-out two massive feats of strength both that put moving a planet to shame that he was NOT flying when he did them, so I won't go on that. The other serious flaw in your argument is bringing-up non-flying characters. So what that they've matched him in strength despite not having strength feats like his?
None of them really even HAVE feats of strength. The only major one I can think for any of them is Darksied ripping-apart that planetoid as a side-effect of his fight with Superman. All of them but Solomon Grundy since he's been at different power levels pretty much every time he comes back from "death" are all consistently stronger than Wonder Woman, despite they don't have feats to match her's, and she just flies through magick, you can't make an argument of "telekinesis" here. Kurse and Mangog are stronger than Thor, but what feats of strength does they have to compare?
I could be wrong, but to my knowledge, the answer is "none. The centrifugal force of the earth orbiting the sun is cancelled out by the sun's gravity on the earth, so it's in balance. If you were to increase the earth's speed then the shape of the orbit around the sun would become more and more elliptical until it reaches a point and starts spiraling away.
It is thought that the people of Krypton had a much denser molecular structure and therefore, it would be extremely hard for anything to penetrate through their supremely compact molecules! It would be like having a body of Kevlar!
Not only are Kryptonian cells very dense, but they can metabolize solar radiation. The radiation given off by Krypton's red sun was too weak for Kryptonians to process. Yet, when Superman lands on Earth and into the light of our younger star, he is able to take the radiation from our yellow sun and metabolize it—the way a green plant converts light from the sun into energy through a process called Photosynthesis.
This extra boost from the sun gives Superman the ability for flight, super strength and invincibility. Superman is invincible! But, there is a BIG exception to that statement. This alien element is so well-known and engrained into pop-culture, that Microsoft Word recognizes it and can auto-correct to it for you!
The element comes in many forms, but the most iconic is as a glowing, green rock. It could be that Kryptonite affects Superman by interfering with his cells and their ability to metabolize solar radiation.
