Plot Induced Stupidity, or PIS, is when characters don't use their abilities or skills to the fullest extent as shown before, even within their personality ranges, for the sake of the story plotline. It makes lesser powered characters an actual challenge against higher powered characters in the comics.CIS afflicted characters are ones that can't use their powers effectively enough to win fights. That is clearly not Superman. While the above certainly defines comics where he's matched against someone far less powerful.
I don't think its PIS if it possibly relating to a poor defensive fighting style... or a natural tendency to allows himself to take hits for moral reasons.
