Many of these were also solved by @hexomino, but I haven't looked at their answers ... except that I wasn't able to figure out #10 and peeked at that one, which apparently was actually solved by Chris Cudmore in comments. Kudos to Chris!
Piecing these together we get:

C O A I N U M B A R B
O P O N T I A C L E A
L A S E A G U L L S T
There is one thing I don't understand:
the definition part of #16. The wordplay is clear enough, but the definition has to be "Kal-El's dad" and I am failing to see why that should be NICOLAS rather than either JOR-EL or JONATHAN. [EDITED to add:] Thanks to El-Guest for setting me straight on this one. It turns out that Nicolas Cage actually named his son Kal-El. Gosh.
