“Superman: a Unified Theory for his Superpowers”

This makes a lot more sense than Superman having half a dozen unexplainable abilities.

(Yeah, only us geeks would try to explain the abilities of a super-fictional comic-book character in a scientific way. ;-) )

    Oh come on, everyone knows it’s because Earth has a yellow sun and weaker gravity!

    Besides, in the original comic, his abilities weren’t all that unexplainable.

    My apologies for the bad URL, add underscores where it makes sense. :-(

    Read the article I mentioned (or rather, the original one that it cites), and you’ll see that this is a different take on it.

    In the original comic, as I understand it, he didn’t have most of his current abilities. He couldn’t fly, for instance, only jump huge distances.

    (I manually fixed the URL in your message.)
