I think because, in the image Matt gave us, Francis is trying to hold up a
wall.

Why "As Superman"?
Here is an image of Francis receiving the stigmata, which also shows St
Clare.

“After a pilgrimage to Rome, where he joined the poor in begging at the
doors of the churches, he said he had a mystical vision of Jesus Christ in
the country chapel of San Damiano, just outside of Assisi, in which the Icon
of Christ Crucified said to him, "Francis, Francis, go and repair My house
which, as you can see, is falling into ruins." He took this to mean the
ruined church in which he was presently praying, and so he sold some cloth
from his father's store to assist the priest there for this purpose.”
