in real life after the six-hundredth-odd time somebody jumped off a building so they could get a selfie with him, Superman would start cooking us with heat vision from orbit just to watch us run around
the origin as it appears in Action Comics #1 is very compressed and makes no mention of either Smallville or Clevelandpic.twitter.com/J1uJ1GXlM3

afaik the Smallville aspect of the character was developed beginning in the 1950s. the "modern" incarnation of the character is probably best represented by the John Byrne "Man of Steel" limited series from 1986. Very Kansas.

The particular city was not identified until later. It was briefly Cleveland (though that was changed in reprints) but quickly got revised to Metropolis.

But that's pre-Crisis Superman, guys!

I know. There have been various reboots and other, uh, things we don't speak about since then, but for the most part the John Byrne post-crisis version has become nearly canonical.https://twitter.com/danlistensto/status/1059526164732170243 …
