The Limit of Clark's Powers
I noticed in a few of the threads that people have several disagreements on the extent of Clark's powers. Here's a place to discuss. I'm not actually aware of how depowered post-crisis Supes is, but in my mind, invulnerability means invincible (other than the obvious kryptonite weakness, like the writers would ever let us forget about that).

Oh, and in response to Uber Jedi: no, krypton's gravity was not that much greater, and higher gravity acclimitization will not cause a person to fly. If that were true, extremely strong (in relativity to their size) animals such as ants could fly, but they can't. He gets powers because of the altered energy levels given off by the yellow sun. Kryptonite gives people powers because of radiation, which alters DNA. Because it is a television show, they simplify it and say that the kryptonite gives people special powers.
In addition, it could be argued that a massive nuclear warhead could kill Superman. With the explosion in effect weakening him, if ever so slightly, he couldn't escape the mushroom cloud blocking out the energy of the sun.

A nuclear warhead wouldn't kill Superman (comic version anyway) he's survived 20 warheads and even a planet explosion without so much of a tear in his cape.
Clouds also don't block his powers. If this were true than Superman would be powerless at night...
No offense guy but you're massively uninformed about his powers and how they work.
Exactly and once Superman stores up enough energy from the yellow sun,he won't need one anymore to keep his power.cough Superman Prime cough

I personally haven't actually seen those comics where he was hit by nukes, so my bad. But scientifically, through clouds and the nighttime, the Earth is still bombarded by energy from the sun, it simply is not in its visible form. In its gamma form, very few substances can block the sun's radiation, but nuclear clouds, with their radioactive makeup, can. So how exactly does he work though, is he some kind of rechargeable battery of solar power?

Doesn't Pre-Crisis Superman have the ability to absorb peope's powers?Can someone list ALL of his powers(Pre-Crisis Superman)and how much he could lift at maximum?

With those powers he can defeat anyone.
