OK, so, like . . . Superman battles all of Lex Luthor's goons, flies around the planet to save a humble native village from a sudden volcanic eruption, flies back and cruises the concrete canyons of Metropolis, saving babies that fall out of windows, and rescues Lois Lane from a really creepy blind date . . .
He's burnin' up more calories than an all-girl marching band that blunders onto Greek Row on pledge week Saturday night. I figure, the entire weekend production of a campus pizza shop, or a suburban Red Lobster--at least. Now, Clark Kent ain't makin' that kinda dough at the Daily Planet, so . . . whaddaya think? Gun running, drug smuggling? Come on . . . get serious . . . that boy would be eatin' more than the population of a fat camp the day after they get home.

Superman doesn't need to eat - he's powered by solar radiation. Well-established fact. Doesn't need to breathe either.

Can you imagine that boy stoned, wanderin' into a 7-11 at about 10:00 p.m.? I wouldn't want to be in the chips aisle . . .
I ain't buyin' it, Cyclo . . . ever'body knows that boy does his best work at night . . . no solar power then . . .

He stores it up and depletes it over time. There were actually several storylines in the comic b0oks over the years that were centered around exactly this topic.

@Cycloptichorn,
Sure, if you're playin' up the truth, justice and the American Way theme, you're gonna wanna have some dog an' pony show story line like that . . . i was neither born at night, nor last night . . .

but you will try to get an answer to "What powers up SUperman"?
@farmerman,
Oh, i have no doubt about that, i just ain't buyin' no line about solar power . . . i'm sure he eats like a whole stable full of racehorses . . . i just wanna know where the money comes from . . .

I bet he shoves coal
you know where, and squeezes out diamonds.
@LionTamerX,
Ahahahahahahahaha . . . i literally laughed out loud . . .
@Setanta,
It's the cats he should be saving....a cat a day falls out of a high rise in Metropolis.
But it's the ones that fall from the seventh floor he should be focusing on.

The floor cats fall from that causes the most injuries.
