      Superman is a massive victim of "power creep", thanks to being the central superhero for whom the genre is named It's also because Captain Marvel got sued by DC and they ended up getting Captain Marvel writers to write for Superman, giving him more "magic" powers

      But yeah you can tell if you think of the old taglines he used to have in the old days He could "leap tall buildings in a single bound" because he wasn't actually capable of self directed flight yet

      right, and "more powerful than a speeding bullet" rather than "more powerful than the sun!" which is where we're at now.

      It gets even more absurd with the mutliversal versions. I.E. Superboy Prime "punching reality" and altering the timeline, or the massively OP Red Son Superman. And so many of those power excesses have a tendency of making their way to the primary character one way or another.

      When DC starts to get "cosmic", a lot of writers tend to just turn up the dial on Supermans power, and explain it away by saying he was always capable of that but didn't know it/had to hold himself back/etc.

      I love Grant Morrison, but he can get really silly with this sometimes. Like in Superman Beyond/Final Crisis, when he goes to higher-dimensional space and his eyes just automatically adjust to see things properly. And it happens...just because he's Superman and can do that.

      Honestly, the idea that he's some kind of reality bending deity whose powers are limited only by his imagination makes a lot more sense than just saying the bizarre array of powers he normally has are just the specific biological abilities of his species

          I mean we all know the thing where even his "super strength" has to be some kind of telekinetic ability to alter the effective mass of what he's using his strength on for it to work that way right Why he can lift up a car by its bumper instead of just ripping the bumper off

          The famous flight scene in the Superman movie almost lampshades this Lois clings to Superman in terror as they fly and he encourages her to let go and just hold hands with him, and this lets her soar through the air by his side
