@ddd82451 If you can't produce an episode where the characters use the term force field when talking about the effect that is caused by Clark's super speed...then your force field theory is just fanwanking on your part based on second hand information that doesn't qualify as fact either.
@Bloggerboy1000 That's not because of the budget. That's because Clark's invulnerability hasn't fully developed yet. And in one episode, when Clark is playing a football game, he super speeds to save Chloe, and you can see the FORCEFIELD aura when he superspeeds.
@ddd82451 And like I keep saying the effect is not consistant. It's to do with budget. Sometimes they show bullet holes and burn marks on his clothes (like when Clark goes to space on top of the rocket)
I'm going with dense skin because that's what we saw and hear about on the show. Clark sticks his hand to a blade that rips his clothes off in the Pilot. He gets shot and we see marks on his skin during S1. At no point do we get force fields JUST effects for superspeed!
@Bloggerboy1000 You are entitled to your own opinions, but not to your own facts. You keep saying Clark just has super dense skin. If this was true, then when he travels through fire, his clothes should get burned off(but it doesn't). If it was just his skin, then when Clark gets hit by energy weapons(like"Clark vs Blue Beetle") then the energy beam should destroy his clothes but leave his skin unharmed, but his clothes survive. Because of his forcefield. Your beliefs contradict the show.
@ddd82451 Even if that is true I'm not convinced since the show itself hasn't established the power and Clark's new powers always got an explanation...usually an entire episode was devoted to them. His microvision's been the only exception and even that was descriped in dialogue even if it was lazy.
What I'm saying is judging by the Smallville pattern I personnally am not convinced there's a force field. You have your views, I have mine, let's leave it at that.
And I'm referring to modern Superman. And Superman does have a force field in Smallville, it's been implied numerous times(he travels at supersonic speeds, and the reason he doesn't produce a sonic boom, like in THIS clip, is because his forcefield prevents it).
@ddd82451 I think you're talking Pre-Crisis Superman. His powers were toned down after that.
It's not accepted as canon for the majority (non-comic book) versions of the character. He didn't have a force field in Superman: The Movie, not in Returns and not in Smallville either.
The physics of your example are comic book physics since the show didn't state otherwise. Oh and btw if you are referring to the Daily Planet globe...that's not planetary sized.

@Bloggerboy1000 Correct, super speed effect, because of his force field. Don't know why you can't accept facts.

@ddd82451 You say force field, I say super speed effect. End of story.

@Bloggerboy1000 And plus, when Clark travels at supersonic speeds, he doesn't produce a sonic boom, because of his forcefield(like IN THIS CLIP).

@Bloggerboy1000 But it's large.
