    Nobody cares who his parents are.

    Seems more like a shonen manga anime version of Superman (or any other random character) than a Superman story or version.

    Okey... then

    Superman knows where is Linda Danvers now, but he respects her desires to be apart of the Superlife.
    Superman sometimes wonders if that super soldier from other universe was right and he takes to much away of mankind by helping them too much.
    Lois Lane have military training by her father. Nobody knows but she could kill a person with all the training she have.

    Dusting off an old Seinfeld bit, Superman isn’t funny (I agree with George). Sure, he has little one liners, puns, and amusing comments from time to time but he’s not an all out laugh getter. Maybe Clark has even tried his hand at a local Metropolis improv or something but didn't go so well (I’m picturing 1990s style improv where he’s got the ponytail and everything). This is why he loves the comedy genre, because it’s one of the few things that he’s not good at. In a reciprocal move, he’s a huge Seinfeld fan (Hoechlin’s Clark mentioned it once). But he does love to laugh and laugh with others, friends or strangers.

    Superman is a higher dimensional being and has more in common with Mr. Mxyzptlk and the New Gods. He can adjust his vision to see alternate dimensions, and is able through move through time and space. Superman, to borrow from Supreme, is also aware when continuity in the DC universe reshuffles and is aware that his personal history has realigned. Superman is also able to see people in our reality and that is why he use to wink at us whenever a Superman comic came to an end.

    Yeah, but that is no excuse to simply barren him of everything than define him.

    I personally don't think Superman NEEDS a head cannon, but it would be cool. Maybe a GoPro like thing he can wear strapped to his head...

    Superman can feel pain from spicy foods, and as a result he dislikes them for a long time, though he may eventually learn to enjoy them.

    Part of the reason Superman moved to Metropolis is because Kryptonians have been living in large cities for so long that they evolved to prefer that environment.

    I generally have the idea that Superman being able to fool the majority of people into thinking Clark Kent isn't him is some kind of superpower he isn't consciously aware of. Sometimes I try to think of specific mechanics for how that works, but it's always messy to come up with something that makes sense.

    Though he tends to prefer rock and metal, Superman can see something to appreciate in basically every kind of music, from cheesy disco to experimental noise projects.

    In every continuity where this isn't actively contradicted, Clark's glasses are real prescription glasses he gets from the optometrist. Though this may seem like a waste of money, it's because of his commitment to making his Clark life as real as it can be. (Thankfully, this is at least canon according to the Ending Battle storyline because Clark is mentioned to have an optometrist.)

    This is very cool.
    Conversely, this could also be a part of what endeared him to Smallville (aside from his Earth parents, of course). Something totally foreign to him that he appreciates on its own merit.

    I don't know what the heck that means.Also don't care.Moreover your idea of superman nor pop culture idea of superman is not " everything that defines superman". Cause the character was made by siegel and shuster.Not me nor you.
