Superman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Superman possesses extraordinary powers which render him, as stated in the lead-in to the 1950s television series, "faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound". |
 | | Superman can use his X-ray and infrared vision to pinpoint the stronger points of whatever he happpens to be lifting (by searching for bulkheads, support beams, and denser areas of the structure) and lift from whichever of them is closest to the item's center of gravity. |
 | | Superman's daily martyrdom is reflected tellingly in print during his reappearance in the 1996 miniseries Kingdom Come, where he is pictured as a bearded carpenter with a long beam of wood across his back, mirroring a Christ-like image of a man who gave himself for a world that, in that storyline, did not love him. |
