Supes is pretty crazy as is post crisis.
Super-genius.That used to be one of the best things about pre-crisis comics.
The fact that he could smash planets, fly at a million times the speed of light and travel through time and dimensions usually meant nothing, cos the writers'd come up with a way for the bad guy to be unbeatable.
ie - the bad guy and Supes are from different universes and keep swapping places, or the bad guy is a ghost and so intangible, or the bad guy is Dracula and is therefore magical and Superman can't hurt him etc etc etc and so forth.
This way, it kept Superman (and the writers) on their toes, trying to come up with plans to defeat the bad guys.
I'm glad to see his super-genius back in working order!! 😄

Add Torquasm vo, a mental martial art that would even have precrisis characters scratching their heads.
