He shot blue lasers out of his eyes and made all of the stones jump back into place? Masonry Vision??

Yes, masonry vision. That's a brilliant name, LOL.

The problem was the script called for him to fix it at superspeed but they didn't have the budget or time to do it, so they chopped some corners and went for masonry vision!!

You could also call it "Tetris-Vision."

I remember Mad or Cracked calling it "rebuilding the great wall of China vision", lol...

I mean, Superman could accomplish basically the same thing with superspeed etc but no, why not make up powers he doesn't have, yeesh.

Coz they didn't have the budget to show him doing things at superspeed, hence the extra vision powers.

A super power. The clue's sort of in the name of the protagonist.*

(* Clue - His name's SUPERman).

That was a lame reply.

Right, because the question wasn't loaded with any cynicism or sarcasm at all.

Maonsry vision, Tetris-vision, Fix-O-Vision, I love all those funny names.

This reminds me of Superman II where Zod lifts a rifle and people with his telekinetic Force powers.

Terence Stamp is also a Jedi. That's why he was in Star Wars I.

People who say Superman is no match for Dr. Manhattan need only to look at this one scene. ;)

It was stupid, but I think it was supposed to be the same telekinetic power General Zod used in Superman II to levitate a man. For some reason, in the movies, Kryptonians can move things with their minds.

OP, I belly-laughed at your post. Thanks for that. Agreed, by the way.
