If flying is faster, why?I remember Superman trying to catch the Flash and was keeping up with him while running. Later, Krypton's larger size and gravity was given as an explanation for the character's powers. Stracyznski expandes on this in the Earth One continuity; Tyrell (a native from another planet in Krypton's solar system) claims that exposure to blue dwarfs or quazars would make himself and Superman godlike beings while proximity to a black hole would be fatal. Unlike most depictions of the character, this Superman feels alienated from humanity, possibly suffering a form of depression. Originally posted by ((The_Anomaly)) Fly obviously Well it's probably because you mostly see him flying or flying real fast. Frank Miller's Dark Knight continuity, which includes In J. Michael Straczynski's Earth One trilogy, Superman is depicted as having the powers typically seen in most continuities. In the origin stories of the comic books and comic strip, Kryptonians were shown using the same powers that Superman would have on Earth. In Silver Age stories, the powers and limitations of Superman were instantly possessed by any Kryptonians exposed to Earth or Earth-like conditions.
This power doesn't appear to have limits; for example, in the sixth season episode "Wither," an alien plant impales him through the chest for an extended period of time, yet upon the plant's removal, he appeared recovered within seconds. Frank Miller's Dark Knight continuity, which includes In J. Michael Straczynski's Earth One trilogy, Superman is depicted as having the powers typically seen in most continuities. In season 11, alongside his ability to fly, other dormant abilities like the full array of vision-related abilities and the classic ability to learn, speak and understand any language Superman comes in contact with, as well a considerable increase on his power levels. Exposure to Kryptonite will rob Superman of his power, and with prolonged exposure, will kill him.Superman seems somewhat vulnerable to electricity. Although it is unknown if he could be killed by such forces, the sensations clearly hurt enough to force him to look for alternative routes. But yeah question just popped up after hearing one of my favorite comedians.Desaad speculated once that it was gravity/spacetime manipulationDon't forget that whole, "oh, I was out by Vega when I heard your signal watch, Jimmy" from Countdown.you talking about when he flew to rao with the two supermen? This vulnerability may be related to why he is susceptible to Parasite's energy drain, which is depicted as electricity flowing from Rudy's victim into his own body. He regained the ability to travel interstellar distances and to hold his breath for the amount of time required to make such journeys. He regained the ability to travel interstellar distances and to hold his breath for the amount of time required to make such journeys. After his battle with Zod he was able to use his space craft to develop a skin suit theoretically capable of blocking kryptonite radiation, but it was never tested. Clark is shown solving complex chemical equations at a glance and claims he can't watch mystery shows because he always solves the case within the first five minutes of viewing. especially on earth he reduces his speed even more drastically putting him below light speed. I guess Peter Pan was right. This initially made him reluctant to publicly use his powers, as he believed it would doom him to permanent loneliness. If he suffers injuries during a period of power loss, any wounds will heal up as soon as his powers return. Any wound he suffers appears to heal within seconds. Superman's powers were enhanced and added to from the 1940s until the mid-eighties. He has received a temporary boost in power after surviving a plunge into the Sun, and has had his powers depleted when deprived of such energy.
As an infant, he is seen bending a tire iron in the Kents' car after being taken from his space craft; in the first issue, he experiences physical pain for the first time as an adult. In season 10 finale Clark finally gained the ability to fly after 10 years of trials by Jor-El.
