“Now, is only Superman�s skin invulnerable or are all of his tissues?”

Everything (which leads to many problems when you think it through …).

But it’s not too bad for this point. You’re assuming that in order to get the needle into the vein, he clumsily needs to open a big gash and poke around. But remember, he has microscopic vision. So he only needs to make a very small break, and can immediately see where to insert the needle in that small gap. So no blood gush.

He’s probably very careful with the medical waste anyway. Imagine how many villains would like some of it for analysis.

Of course, Lois and Lana get super-powers many other times and ways throughout their decades-long triangle with Superman. Notably Lana had already had the Insect Queen powers for years at this point.

he gets his powers from the sun, yet a blood transfusion will give his powers to the recipient?

“Just as the women enter the mill, it explodes without warning in ‘a tremendous explosion that no human being could survive.’”

—are their non-invulnerable clothes burned off?
