Was it one of Superman's abilities to hear peoples thoughts?

This makes me curious because one of the Smallville season 9 episodes is suppose to have clark have an ability to hear thoughts.Was it one of Superman's abilities to hear peoples thoughts?no he cant hear thoughts from what i can remember he can just hear people form far awayWas it one of Superman's abilities to hear peoples thoughts?I think he was exposed to Red Kryptonite when this happened.Was it one of Superman's abilities to hear peoples thoughts?every so often somebody decides that he needs to be psychic



Lois and Clark series had the Kryptonians able to communicate w/ e/o by telepathy



Superman 2 had the mind whammy kiss



and i'm sure a few comics explore it too...



but as a rule he can't, my guess is its an episode plot point, that'll be resolved within the hourWas it one of Superman's abilities to hear peoples thoughts?
