[DC] Superman lands in the mid-1400s Europe, right in time for the Spanish inquisition and discovery of the new world. How does that play out?

Nothing happens.

In 1460 the vast majority of the population still lives in the country (unsurprising since that didn't happen in the States until the 1920s) and worked in farming or agriculture.  So odds are that Kal-El lands on a farm.

However, traditional Kal-El grows up with the expectation of the American Dream and in an era when country-life is giving way to urbanization.  He goes to the big city to make his way because he wants more out of life than being a farmer.

In 1460, there is no such expectation for a peasant farmer.  There is no upward mobility.  There is no concept of making more for yourself.  Your lot in life is that of a humble farmer and you were completely at peace with that because there was zero expectation of anything else.  Generations before you had lived and died as farmers, generations after you would too.  Even though universities exist, you've never heard of them, you have no interest in them, and the very concept of that life might as well be in another dimension.

If you're raised with no expectations and no ambitions, you're not going anywhere.
