yeah didn't he used to be like if an alien adapted to absolutely crushing gravity ended up on a comparatively low gravity world like Earth? (edited that mess of the first half of sentence)
I was thinking the other day how Superman and Elder Scrolls have evolved in opposite directions when it comes to flight
Superman started by leaping tall buildings in a single bound, then he could fly
In Morrowind you could use levitation to fly, then in Oblivion you are downgraded to leaping over buildings if you level up athletics and finally in Skyrim you can't jump or fly for shit
If it helps most animals when they fly, are jumping really hard then gliding a bit. There are other kinds of flight. But that is the most common, so in that reguard it isn't far off. Birds of course are functionally swimming throughout the air so fuck them anyway
At one point, "faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound" were literally all his powers.

what do you mean most animals? the majority of fliers by sheer volume, weight, species, or numbers are insects, which do indeed fly.

Hell heat-vision originally WAS x-ray vision, which he realized would heat shit if prolonged
