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

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