Do you suppose 'being Kryptonian' would count as a superpower or would that be cheating?
If not, its between Telekinesis, Superspeed and Teleportation. I could legit become a superhero with TK or speed and teleporting is just cool. I guess it would depend on how superspeed works. It would suck to be able to run a mile in a second if it still felt like a 30 minute run to me. With TK I could fly around anyway though, and throw trucks at people.
Or he just has really high pain tolerance. Has such a thing ever been brought up, in any media? Not even with the sexual connotation, just a sensation thing. I don't think it's ever been mentioned that Superman can't feel a handshake, for example. He needs some form of feedback to even know how much force he's exerting, or he'd be crushing people left and right.
Being given Psychokinesis sounds like one of those powers that could hurt you and those around you as fast as a thought.One would have to have an extremely disciplined mind to handle it without accidentally turning yourself inside out physically/mentally.
Unless it requires concentration and focus to use in the first place. I wouldn't want a power that would freeze everything if I said the word "cool" in casual conversation, which seems to be what's being implied here. There would have to some method of activation, certainly,

The world of cardboard speech at least infers that he does have sensory perception.

Should we change your last name to Petrelli?

Superman's intellect is high genius level and he's highly learned in physics and mathematical stuff.
He has had years of training so he knows exactly just how much pressure he needs to exert when dealing with everyday activities.

Superhuman physical strength would also bring speed and durability, being able to kick a mountain into orbit with your leg would mean those legs would have the strength to propel you at incredible speeds, and the durability allows you to survive, say, tripping and embedding yourself into a mountain.

Did he have this training and knowledge when he was just a kid, but still way stronger than everyone? Though even with knowledge of physics, having no sensation anywhere means he'd have trouble knowing how much he's exerting without actually looking at what he's touching and seeing how it reacts. Unless he knows beforehand exactly how tough an object is, I guess.
It's not a problem unique to Superman, either. There are plenty of characters with super durability/strength that lack the genius intellect and training that Superman has. I'm just curious if the sensation issue has ever been brought up.

I'm honestly going off what I've been told and random scans. My experience with Supes is limited. But I do know there have been many different versions of Superman and Superboy throughout the years and their powersets fluctuate. But Supes actually undertook physics education to deal with his extreme stats. Things like catching a person falling from the sky if not done with extreme calculations would result in the person's bones shattering upon catching them. ect
And there was a stage when Supe's intellect was feared when he started making uncontrollable tech in his home. I remember reading an issue where Ma and Pa Kent visited his home and where attacked by Clark's security and he had to destroy the machines.
I can't answer your question on feeling something like a human kiss or wind. But logic says he shouldn't. I remember an episode of Lois and Clark where Lois kissed Clark and commented on how it was like kissing solid steel.

Not necessarily. Super-speed would have to do more with muscle-contraction speed than just sheer strength.
There are power lifters that can press over half a ton with their legs; they're not beating Usain Bolt in a race though.

Well if we're doing that then Superspeed would also give you dura8ility which you'd need to be a8le to run at those speeds without the wind flaying your flesh off.
And you'd hit extremely hard at those speeds since Force = Mass x Speed.

Good comic. And she blew Superman. And he screamed for her to get off him.
And when she did his xxxx shot into the air and blew the wing off of a commercial plane.
Reminds me of the convo during Mallrats.
