Clart Kent’s metabolism is so good that it can digest anything he eats into atoms. Yeah, That’s how powerful his digestive system is.
When Superman drank the Scarlet Nectar, An unexpected change occurred in his body. Thanks to his invulnerability, The poison does not kill him but the side effects are ridiculous.
The Man of Steel became the “Man of Fat.”
Not only Superman, but Superboy also got fat on a couple of occasions when he was exposed to Red Kryptonite radiation and Alien Rays, but Clark Kent’s portrayal of being fat is funny.
He even flee away from earth so that people wouldn’t identify him but a plane full of passengers did it tho.
Another instance is when Superman got into a telephone booth to change identities from Clark Kent to Superman, He got fat.
