Super strength
There’s an episode of Justice League where Superman goes at it with Darkseid. Supes says that he always has to be careful and that the whole world is like cardboard to him, so this is the first time he can really let go.
So, you can’t pick up a coffee cup or touch anyone without worrying about destroying something.
Also, you aren’t invulnerable so if you punch a wall you’ll still break your hands.

This is an interesting side effect.
The list can go on and on. That power is a fucking nightmare.

tl, dr a scientist looks at Superman’s love life. It’s not a pretty picture.
Reading this makes me want to trigger Nivenyrral’s disk…
Go in a different direction you have super strong muscles but your frame can only handle so much weight. Even if my muscles can lift 1k kg my skeleton cannot support it.
A sort of corrollary to this is CIPA

You just do not feel pain, cannot sense temperature and never sweat.
You also, as a child more often, frequently seriously injure yourself and do not even realize it.
Also the inability to sweat makes you much, much more susceptible to heat stroke.
The minimum force you can output is now around 500 Newtons
It’s extremely difficult to control - even grazing an object the wrong way with your finger can end up breaking it into pieces. Giving someone a hug can easily end with you covered in blood from the person you just split in two.
Going to the toilet propells the shit straight through the toilet.
Your muscles don’t gain super durability however.

Probably the most realistic of the side effects
