Superman was made of flesh not metal, what gave Superman his powers
was the power of a yellow star our Sun. The idea went something like
this, a normal midlife star is yellow as it ages it expands becomes
weaker and emits a reddish light were it gets the name red star. A
yellow star being younger and stronger would impart more strength on
to those that it iluminated than a red star would. Since Superman had
evolved to get his powers from a weaker red star a stronger yellow
star would give him that much more power.

From DCcomics website;

That Kent is no more than a mask for Superman is shown clearly in the
brief origin story, consuming less than a full page, that would be
expanded and elaborated with each retelling over the years. In the
original version, a nameless scientist on a nameless planet being
"destroyed by old age" puts his infant son in a spaceship bound for
Earth. The baby is found and taken to an orphanage, where his strength
amazes doctors. Reaching maturity, he dons the Superman costume and
takes a reporter's job as Clark Kent. No explanation is given for his
human name, or for the way the authorities kept his powers secret for
so many years.
