Actually, have him reshape the hull of his space pod into a suit of full armor with super-strength and heat vision instead of having Martha Kent somehow tailor a super-fabric baby blanket into a suit capable of fitting a large man and stopping bullets/lasers/atomic powered hurtbots/etc., and you also give him a plausible method of hiding his identity instead of just wearing fake glasses and slouching. As an added benefit, even incomprehensible super-tech is a less threatening explanation for superpowers than "I can just do it," so if you're going by Smallville continuity he might not even spook Lex into going down the ruthless-to-heartless-to-evil path in the name of defending earth from the alien invader, even if he does long to get his hands on that juicy, juicy "powered armor."
