Superman's powers come from his body absorbing solar radiation, but too much of it can trigger a fatal reaction in Kryptonian physiology. So by constructing a spaceship resistant to the Sun's rays, then S.T.A.R. Labs helped prevent an All-Star Superman situation, where Kal-El was dying because of excess solar radiation in his cells. The original Supermobile was built for far more aggressive reasons. Debuting in Action Comics #481 by Cary Bates and Curt Swan, the Supermobile was designed as a vehicle that mimicked all of Superman's powers when he found himself in a situation where he was helpless. The first instance is when red sun radiation from a long-dead star reached Earth, depriving Superman of his powers during one of Amazo's rampages. The vehicle itself is made out of Supermanium, a metal so strong only Superman's heat vision could melt it.
