10 Weirdly Specific Powers You Didn't Know Superman Has

7. Super-Friction

Superman Super-Eating
DC Comics

This is essentially the ability to rub things really fast and hard. Let that sink in for a moment, and try not to picture anything too weird while you do it.

The insanely stupid part about this power is that there's literally nothing it can do that Superman's heat vision doesn't already do. Super-friction is unbelievably redundant, which is probably why it doesn't get mentioned very often.

Another problem is that it's just his super speed in action yet again. There's no reason why it would need a specific name since friction is just a byproduct of his super speed. Every time he moves fast, he produces friction. Sorry. Super-friction. It makes no sense to claim it's a unique ability, particularly since he already has heat vision which does the name thing.
