Why didn't Superman just cover Zod's eyes?

Superman didn't cover Zod's eyes in Man of Steel primarily because it wouldn't have stopped him, as Zod was determined to destroy Earth and forced Superman's hand, making killing him the only solution to save lives from Zod's rampage, though some argue he could have momentarily blocked it, it wouldn't have solved the bigger threat. The narrative intended for Superman to kill Zod, showing a darker, forced choice, where Zod's fanaticism left no other option for Superman to prevent total destruction.

Why didn't Superman cover Zod's eyes?

That if Superman had just covered Zod's eyes, Zod would say, “yep, you got me, I'll cooperate now!” Nonsense. Zod made it VERY clear that the only thing he wanted to do was destroy everything. If you cover his eyes—assuming that doesn't cut through Kryptonian skin or something—he'll just find some other way to murder.

Why can't Kara beat Zod?

Supergirl couldn't beat Zod in The Flash movie because she was severely solar-deprived and inexperienced compared to him, while Zod was a seasoned Kryptonian soldier with a combat-focused genetic codex, and he used Kryptonian metal blades to exploit her vulnerability, despite her having immense power once fully solar-charged. Her power levels fluctuated, and Zod's combat experience, combined with the strategic use of Kryptonian tech (arm-blades), allowed him to overwhelm her, even killing her multiple times in alternate timelines before Barry altered events.

What would happen if you threw Doomsday into the sun?

The most likely scenario is that he dies, resurrects, adapts, and is then stuck in the sun. Adapting doesn't give him the powers he wants, it gives him the powers he needs to survive. The durability to survive in the sun doesn't give him the flight or teleportation he would need to get out.

Can Superman break vibranium?

Yes, Superman could break or damage vibranium, especially pure vibranium, given his immense power, but Captain America's shield (a vibranium-alloy) is designed to absorb kinetic energy, meaning it would disperse most of his punches, though extreme force or heat vision might eventually overwhelm its ability to absorb, especially with less durable versions of the alloy or if morals are off. While vibranium is incredibly strong, characters like the Hulk and even Thanos (with the Power Stone) have damaged it in comics, showing it has limits beyond mere kinetic absorption, making Superman's raw strength a likely threat.
