the suit was knitted
Okay, so imagining him in a chunky Arran sweater is really not helping.
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
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?

All is well that ends in pizza.

Old canon.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

But DX, everything shatters on Clark. Axes, rings, plastic horses. It's hilarious. Nothing ever just bounces harmlessly off him.

everything shatters on Clark.
Kinda makes me wonder how he sits down. But it does explain the whole "still a virgin while looking this hot" bit.
