When Superman first appeared in 1938, his speed seemed limited to keeping pace with, or outrunning, a fast moving car on a highway. That said, his speed increased pretty quickly early on. When the “Adventures of Superman” radio show debuted in 1940, he was described as able to “race a speeding bullet to its target.” By 1947, Superman could use his ...
In the 1940s, long-distance train travel was much more common than it is today in the United States. The idea of Superman being powerful enough to stop a train must’ve seemed impressive. One Fleischer short shows Superman pulling a load of train cars in place of its engine. That said, most stories nowadays seem to show Superman stopping falling pla...
Compared to “keeping pace with the Flash” and “bench pressing the Sears Tower,” being able to leap over the latter doesn’t sound as impressive, especially since Superman can fly. Why is this one here? Because it’s grandfathered in from the earliest incarnations of the character. The very earliest stories showed Superman unable to fly; instead, the ...
Given the citizens of Metropolis should be used to a flying man, this line probably only makes sense for, say, his debut or earliest days there. Alternatively, I’ve seen one comic (“Superman” #276 from 1974, featuring Supes versus a Captain Marvel pastiche) suggest it’s something only tourists visiting Metropolis would say, not the locals.
More like “infant refugee,” given Superman was sent here as a baby to escape his home planet’s destruction. That said, DC did introduce a characternamed “Strange Visitor” in 1999, a woman with electromagnetic powers.
Superman certainly bends steel all the time. However, we don’t get to see him “change the course of mighty rivers” very often. One instance is in the opening page for “Action Comics” #484(June 1978), which shows the Superman of Earth-2 actually doing the things his famous introduction says he can do. This includes digging a giant ditch to divert a ...
From 1938 through the 1986 reboot, Clark Kent was seen largely as the disguise, and Superman (or Kal-El) as his “real” identity. (Though 70s stories started putting more emphasis on his Clark identity and life.) With the reboot, focus shifted to Clark Kent as the primary identity, and Superman as just an alias. More recent stories have partially sh...
The 1940s introductions featured Superman fighting for “truth and justice.” It’s the 1950s TV show that added “the American Way,” likely out of the era’s rise in anti-communism fervor. Despite this, Superman’s seen as the world’s hero, not just America’s. I presume that, similar to Captain America, “the American way” refers not to blind patriotism,...
Superman. Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive…. The Man of Steel fights a never-ending battle for truth, justice, and the American way. From his blue uniform to his flowing red cape to the "S" shield on his chest, Superman is one of the most immediately recognizable and beloved DC Super Heroes of all time.

Jul 30, 2020 · “Faster than a speeding bullet! More powerful than a locomotive! Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound!” Well, of course Superman could hurdle skyscrapers. He can fly after all. Compared to the kind of aerial self-propulsion that Daedalus couldn’t have conceived of, jumping over even the Burj Khalifa seems hardly worth mentioning.
Jun 30, 2020 · Superman proved that he is in fact faster than a speeding bullet in a Golden Age appearance where he outraced a gunshot heading for Lois Lane.
