He doesn't though. He's usually pulling punches like Spider-Man. Lois Lane keeps his humanity in check, and when she dies he goes berserk. Batman's checkmate plan for this involved bringing in another Lois Lane from a different timeline/universe to talk Superman down. I want to say it was Superman: Doomsday that this all happened in. Lois dies with child and Superman goes berserk after getting attacked by Doomsday, eventually doing the classic Laser-Lobotomy.

There isn't that much airing these days that I care about. I've been dipping into my anime collection and I've rewatched Code Geass and I was going to get started on FLCL but I ended up just deciding to watch Voyager. It's been a while since I gave VOY a full run-through. It's a great show for watching before bed.

I might start watching the second season of Foundation, because the first season was rad. Apple TV has been on par with HBO levels of quality.

Futurama has been airing on Sundays I think. That's like, the only show I've been keeping up with. It doesn't feel like there's much worth watching these days.

Depends on what iteration of Superman we're talking about. A lot of writers will argue his skill set is telepathy based, but he's unaware of it. If he were to become aware of his telepathic ability he'd be like Doctor Manhattan levels of godlike. When he stops a plane, he distributes the weight over the whole body instead of the single point of contact with his hand, otherwise the plane would crumble under the pressure of him trying to stop it. His heat vision is him heating up the particles in his line of sight, same with x-ray vision. Superman has a basically unlimited power ceiling, and it mostly depends on his emotional state - when he gets more angry he can do crazy things, we're talking about outrunning the Flash kinds of crazy things.
