movies/tv Respect Superman! (Superman: Doomsday)
I wish I could help humankind by being more than its resident strongman.
Superman is someone that everyone is aware of you get it I'm not doing the shtick.
Italicized feats belong to Dark Superman, Superman when he's at 67% power. Bolded feats belong to Luthor's clone of Superman, said to be an exact duplicate of Superman (at his prime).

I always laugh when Lex tries to bait clone-Supes into a room of red sunlight whilst wearing kryptonite gauntlets, and Supes just…closes the door, lmao.
(could probably work as an intelligence feat…or an anti-feat for Lex)
