As a subject matter expert in comic book lore, particularly with characters from the DC Universe, I can provide an informed answer to your question about Superman's abilities.

Superman, as traditionally portrayed in the comics, does not have the inherent ability to read minds. His powers are derived from Earth's yellow sun, which grants him super strength, speed, invulnerability, flight, and various other abilities. However, there have been instances in the comics where Superman has been depicted with telepathic abilities, but these are typically the result of external influences, such as magical artifacts or temporary power-ups from storylines that are not considered part of the core continuity.

In the mainstream DC Universe, Superman's powers are more focused on his physical and sensory enhancements rather than mental or psychic powers. It's important to note that the character's abilities can evolve over time, and different writers may choose to explore different aspects of his powers or introduce new ones for the sake of storytelling.
