Why does Superman seem to breathe on Earth but when in space he doesn't? Also why does he treat the world like cardboard instead of taking the enemy into space and beating them there? (lemmy.world)

I mean the people he fights that would be disadvantaged in space are just regular ass people, and the ones that aren't regular ass people function better in space than Supes. There is no need to take Lex Luthor into space when, if he wanted to kill him, Superman could just punch him or melt him with laser eyes.
