Back in the day, it was common for Superman and Batman comics to show the hero on the cover doing something wild/unusual and then have a headline like "Why Is Superman Eating A Million hamburgers?" or "Why Is Batman Teaming Up With the Joker?"
At that time, comics tried to resolve a story every issue, and they weren't going to kill of the main hero, so they had to come up with gimmick stories. In the stories Red Kryptonite and magic could affect Superman, so the writers would have him face those things, and then have to come up with ways of overcoming the situation.
Back then, Supes 'married' Lois Lane dozens of times; it was laways a dream, or a fantasy, or robots, or duplicates...

But what can you actually do among things that Superman can? Wear panties over the pants? Something else?

His super colon is probably compressing the volume into a dense logs that will shortly damage a nearby sewer system.
