Yes, it has been officially confirmed by Bryne himself that Superman's strength also comes from a psionic ability to enhance his strength. The amount of solar energy he's converted determines the amount of strength his psionic potential provides. This is along with Stern's and Simonson's geometrically increase in power in proportion to his proximity to the sun and Grant Morrison's hypermetabolization of solar energy. That latter hasn't been officially confirmed yet though.

And who would that be?? 😕
Hyperman. He was a human who trained under increasing gravity created by DR Fate, the gravity eventually reached googols of g's, and he left, and he felt rather light, :/
Just goes to show being creative and realistic makes for a better story than being retarded and ridiculous, thats the moral of Hyperman, and probably Pre-Crisis Superman also.
