Ok, any taste, touch, balance feats?

Taste? Not so sure. I don't see why he would need super-taste, but I wouldn't doubt it for a second. His senses are Super. And taste is all but connected to the same olfactory nerves as smell is.

Touch is largely going to be vibration stuff. He can feel the vibrations to ridiculous degrees, even the vibration of the universes. He's even felt vibration trails people have left behind when flying in space.

His sense of time, sense of inertia, and sense of style are also greater. 😉

I actually just read that one recently, and it slipped my mind. Although it wasn't what I was thinking of for "ridiculous"(though you probably weren't replying to me). Although I'm sure most would find that ridiculous.

Nah, was just posting it in general. Smelling brownies from The Watchtower to Earth isn't ridiculous though?
lol.

Not for Superman. 😄 When I think ridiculous senses for Superman, I think of him hearing Kyle whisper from whatever distance that was in FOR TOMORROW.

He's heard Kara calling him from Earth too while out near Saturn, iirc.

Pretty good, but not as good as the Kyle one. Though I suppose hearing or smelling anything with outer space as a "barrier" should be ridiculous since there's no air to carry sound or scent.

Pretty much. I always wonder if they ever said just how far away Kyle was.

I also like the feat in For Tomorrow where he's looking for Lois's heartbeat as he's coming back to Earth, and can identify it out of so many.

Also, the one where he could hear Oliver Queen calling him, even among billions of voices.

I'll have to check again. I figure it's at least in another star system so lightyears away.

And yeah, those are pretty good. What about where he counts all those raindrops? Speed did play a role, but still.....holy shit.

In Countdown hearing Jimmy's watch from Andromeda and flying there in a couple panels.

[2.5m lightyears]

I forgot about that one. Apparently it was retconned. Didn't see the actual instance, but saw people arguing with Kurt Busiek about it on the DC boards years ago.
