I dont think that Superman just zipped across space and landed here.
Think about it. According to physics, what he does is impossible.
Unless instead of simply coming from another planet, Supe comes from another dimension.
According to experiments such as the double slit experiment, which seems to suggest that all particles dont just inhabit one position in the universe, all particles inhabit ALL positions in the universe. Its simply a matter of observation which causes the probabilty field to collapse in our perception creating a single position.
One possible interpretation of this is that this means there is an infinite number of universes.
In one, you may be a famous tap dancer, instead of being born you were fabricated in a Jell-o mold. Paris Hilton could be a neurosurgeon instead of a brainless walking Fleshlight.
Google Fleshlight. You'll see the similarity.
In any case, the laws of physics may differ from universe to universe (yes, I know, this may apply more to the theory of a foam-like multiverse, but I find even with wonky physics the distances are prohibitive, so Im sticking to the sum over histories approach. Cuz its funner.
Anyhoo, in one of these universes comes Superman. Different quantum state can mean infinite density. Yup. Bulletproof.
Maybe he can fly due to his complete control over his relative position. Why not? If observation can cause a probabilty wave to collapse into a single particle, why cant his perception control his ultimate position? This could also allow for his near light speed AND strength.
His strength could be not strength as we know it, but his ability to force his position to overtake the position of almost any object regardless of mass.
Lifting cars would just be a matter of working his position underneath and up.
Xray vision, heat vision, chalk those up to just being a freak from another dimension.
This is what goes through my head when Im stuck on the can with nothing to read.
Heres another kitty. This ones fluffier.
