But Superman is no longer shown as being that inventive in most takes and most K-weapons that penetrate his skin are stuff that would also do the same to most real-life armors (bulletproof vests, flak jackets, etc.)
Comic Clark has mech suits/armor/protective gear in his Fortress that he could easily wear, but we don’t know if this Post-Crisis Hoechlin Clark has that stuff anymore. Plus he didn’t really have time to go get it and come back without risking people dying. So yeah I agree that it’s no sure thing that Clark actually had gear he could’ve worn.
