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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Maybe he has an embrittling field.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
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.
My experience of abusing scissors is that the pin that joins the blades won't snap, but it might wrench loose in its joint, so that the blades aren't held tense against each other. You can still cut something with dull scissors (messily), if you've got blade tension, but two sharp blades that don't ever touch each other are basically just really awkward carving knives. The thing you're trying to cut just folds in between the blades.
Which is not nearly as dramatic and amazing as shattering.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
But DX, everything shatters on Clark.
'Twas Daniel said it, not me. That said, there is one thing that doesn't, though. Revolvers. I know this because every time someone throws a gun at Supes he ducks.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Well, back in the serials and 50's, maybe. Has anyone thrown a gun (another silly move) in any of the incarnations since the George Reeves AoS?

Well, if you've used up all your ammunition fruitlessly shooting at Supes, why not?

Why not toss it over your shoulder as you run away? Or at least run away with your gun with hopes to use it another day, or just drop it and run like hell? Unless it's one that was issued to you, or you picked it up from the table, most people regard their guns as important.
Of course now I'm trying to introduce logic into villainy and the behavior of henchmen...

See, I'd thought the whole dumb as a bag of hammers thing was the explanation for this.
