shouldn't the fact that they are Kryptonian have an effect like, well, Kryptonite?
I think only kryptonite acts like kryptonite -- other kryptonian artifacts (like the spaceship) have been shown to not interfere with his mojo.
The whole weaving story makes no sense. Sewing without cutting? Unlikely.
IIRC, the suit was knitted and Superboy did the cutting with his heat vision. And of course it doesn't make sense.

Okay, so imagining him in a chunky Arran sweater is really not helping.
If it's invunerable, how could she tailor the material? Also, shouldn't the fact that they are Kryptonian have an effect like, well, Kryptonite?
Kryptonite is the result of the planet's explosion. Didn't exist before Krypton blew up, so anything that left Krypton before the explosion, i.e., the rocket, blankets, Kandor, etc., weren't converted.
She tailored the material by having young Clark break the threads with his heat vision.
eta: It wasn't so much knitted as woven, though.
Wasn't a lock of Superman's hair holding up weights in Superman IV?

Old canon.
Yeah, that's the version of Superman that could fly faster than light and travel through time and use super-ventriloquism. And whose hair would shatter metal scissors that someone used to try and cut it, rather than just not being cut. t shudder
The last one sort of happened last night, though. the sissors broke on his hair.
Even possessed, Lana's efforts should have been at most the blades stop and let the hair slip between the blades, maybe even sideways. Break the sissors? She has nae the strength for that.
Could any amount of strength be sufficient to break rigid metal against a flexible substance that would give without breaking?
Though that does give me the entertaining mental image of Kristin Kreuk in blue contacts and hair saying "This defies all reason! And I find it annoying."
I think it's definitely possible to break the scissors, not by breaking the metal of either blade, but by frelling the doohickey that joins them together, and shearing that.
Lana's a superninja, isn't she? With witchy powers.
Yeah, complete bullshit.
