Flying At The Speed Of Sound

Did you know what power the opening narration did not reveal about Superman each time? It basically laid out every one of his main powers but left out one his most important powers. That would be the ability to fly at the speed of light! How could they leave that one out?

Here is the opening narration: “The Adventures of Superman”, “faster than a speeding bullet! More powerful than a locomotive. Able to leap tall buildings at a single bound”. “Look up in the sky, it’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s Superman!” The announcer goes on, “Yes, It’s Superman, strange visitor from another planet who came to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men. Superman, who can change the course of mighty rivers, bend steel in his bare hands; and who disguised as Clark Kent, mild-mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper, fights the never ending battle for truth, justice, and the American way”.
