Very true.
But Pre-Crisis Superman's powers are nearly unlimited himself.
Here's a list of his powers:
----------------
----------------
Intelligence: He is super-genius of the highest order, master of the sciences, able to whip up technological marvels with ease and is a great tactician - coming up with plans on the fly.
Strength: Superman has shown the strength to move multiple worlds at the same time with no effort, has resisted the gravitational pull of a Black Hole, has been shown to punch a spaceship clean out of the solar-system with one blow and create a miniature sun with the pure crushing pressure of his bare hands.
Speed: Superman can fly across the universe in hyper-space with ease, having shown himself capable of flying between galaxies in seconds. In true-space, he is able to break the light barrier and react at faster than light speeds. His reaction times can be measured in the 1000ths of a seconds or less.
Durability: Is to all intents and purposes completely invulnerable. He has survived the crushing pressure at the heart of a Black Hole totally unharmed. Has survived ground zero of nuclear and anti-matter exposions totally unharmed. Can withstand any temperature or pressure changes. Is immune to matter manipulation or disease. The only way to penetrate his invulnerability is with:
a) Magic - which completely bypasses his forcefield and affects him as any normal human. His strength and durability do not work against magically imbued materials.
b) KNite - this radiation causes agonising pain and debilitation to Superman.
c) Red Sunlight - depending on the intensity of the light, this can weaken Superman's invulnerability or even remove his powers outright.
Once he is removed from the influence of magic, KNite or Red Sunlight his powers restore completely and instantly.
Other Powers: Can fly at FTL speeds, can turn invisible and intangible, can teleport instantaneously, can move through time and dimensions, can throw/punch objects through time, can appear in several places at once, has super-hearing, telescopic vision, micro-vision, x-ray vision, can see any electromagnetic radiation, can change the intensity of light rays by looking at them, can create thunderclaps and earthquakes - can manipulate the direction of the earthquakes psionically, has super-scent, has super-breath capable of snuffing out stars and freezing objects, has super-hypnotism, super-ventriloquism.
