Who could stop Superman?

If Franklin is eating stuff from Celestials and not falling-down-boom, he's a little beyond Clark's capacity to smack around.

I have a question I don't really want to make a thread for, so this seems like a good place to ask it: In the animated movie, Superman vs the Elite, Manchester Black, who is demonstrated to be a pretty powerful telepath, is unable to access Superman's mind in any meaningful way (he can get surface thoughts, as I recall). Superman casually mentions that this is due to some brainhacks and autodefenses he has specifically for telepathy. It makes a lot of sense because well, he's got access to that kind of stuff and fights a lot of telepaths. Is this true of comic Superman as well? The movie is based on an arc in the comics, so it kinda seems like it would have shown up. If so, is there a reason it never comes up in threads?

Given that Maxwell Lord controlling him was a pretty major story point (leading to Wonder Woman very publicly killing Lord), whatever psychic defenses he has are on a lower level than that.

Didn't it take Maxxy a long ass time to control him through?

Barring a single instance that required special circumstances, Lord is not /that/ powerful a telepath.

For something more relevant, Doctor Psycho was able to telepathically "encourage" Superman and Black Adam into fighting. Guy is not immune to telepathic stuff by some default.

I guess that feat with Manchester Black is isolated to the one movie then.
