      I didn't realize Superman was depowered like that originally

      Superman is a massive victim of "power creep", thanks to being the central superhero for whom the genre is named It's also because Captain Marvel got sued by DC and they ended up getting Captain Marvel writers to write for Superman, giving him more "magic" powers

      But yeah you can tell if you think of the old taglines he used to have in the old days He could "leap tall buildings in a single bound" because he wasn't actually capable of self directed flight yet

      right, and "more powerful than a speeding bullet" rather than "more powerful than the sun!" which is where we're at now.

      The original tagline said he "can't be harmed by anything short of an exploding shell", when of course Silver Age Superman shrugs off all conventional explosives

      I think they topped out at nuclear weapons, like because of the cultural significance of nukes we've decided that's the one manmade weapon that can hurt him

      Although even in the famous scene in The Dark Knight Returns it's not really that the nuke hurt him so much as it cut him off from the sun (Which itself is silly, he doesn't lose his powers at night or anything)

      I think there’s some line earlier in the DKR that suggests that in the intervening years either some injury or just age has made him more sun-dependent for his powers. I could be wrong about that, though.

      Again, nighttime is pretty long and pretty dark at most inhabited latitudes, so if Superman is able to carry out missions at 4 am in the winter it indicates he has pretty good solar batteries

      I did like the joke on Space Ghost Coast to Coast where they revealed the original version of the show was Birdman Coast to Coast but Birdman being a solar powered hero made him a disastrous choice for a late night talk show

      He's an actual reverse vampire As in he's COMPLETELY solar powered and has no batteries the instant the sun sets he collapses into an unbreakable slumber until dawn (I always thought this would be a fun idea for a weakness for an otherwise extremely powerful Superman type)
