This is specifically comments by Dean Cain, a man who once played Superman, but didn't seem to actually pay attention to any of the scripts, because he became a right wing grifter.

His weirdly horny Superman refused to put on the costume because he thought he was above it.

Then he stopped being a hero because he didn't want to help people.

I think you're confusing Smallville and Lois & Clark.

Two different shows. Smallville was the one with Clark as a "teen" and never showed the costume. It launched the career of Alison Mack, of NXIVM sex cult fame.

Dean Cain was in Lois & Clark, and wore the costume throughout the show. But he also took a hard right turn afterward while trying to stay relevant.
