Oh, and by the way... in 1938, Superman couldn't fly, just jump! Which is why he isn't seen flying on the cover of Action Comics #1!
So that explains the "able to leap tall buildings" line! I had always wondered about that. It always seemed to me to be a very odd understatement to describe the abilities of someone capable of flight.

Thanks for clearing up that mystery.
