Superman superpowers we probably won't see in Man Of Steel

Faster than a speeding bullet! More powerful than a locomotive! Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound! Also able to create miniature versions of himself and kiss like a date rapist!
So let me risk the wrath of a thousand comic-book fans and present this guide to Superman's weirdest superpowers. Let's hope some of these make it into Zack Snyder's Man Of Steel. Because they're hilarious.
You'd think that a superstrong, invulnerable god-like alien wouldn't ever have a use for throwing his voice really far, but it seems that even the power to make someone say "Gottle o' geer, gottle o' geer" can come in useful in the fight for truth, justice and the American Way.
How does this even work? Does he have an in-built transmitter in his tonsils? Does it only work on the police radio frequency or can he also hijack DJ Wolfman's breakfast morning slot on Metropolis FM whenever he wants?
This begs the question: If Superman can change his own features, why the fuck didn't he come up with a better disguise for being Clark Kent?
So Superman can control minds? Kind of renders the rest of his powers a bit redundant when fighting crime doesn't it? "Hmm, Lex Luthor is probably planning something evil today but I'll just make him stay at home and get him addicted to Breaking Bad instead."
Also featured in Superman II, in which, again, he kisses Lois Lane to give her some kind of magical rapey amnesia. Who knows how many times he has done this to make her forget certain 'indiscretions'?
If he destroys solar systems with a single sneeze, think how much damage a discrete fart can cause. What? I know you were thinking it too.
As featured in the franchise-killing Superman IV: The Quest For Peace, this telekinetic ability has never been seen in previous films so does it only work in China? Specifically on bricks? If not, why doesn't he spend every spare moment building shelters for the homeless? The bastard.
I don't even know what this is.
