If just makes no sense and it is driving me insane. I am not joking of late it has really been upsetting me. Please let someone explain to me how he can fly so I can get some sleep. It is keeping me up at nights. Please do not tell me his planet the gravity is different because that has nothing to do with him being able to fly.... HELP ME!!!!!!!!

I found this on some message board when I GOOGLEd "how can Suprman fly?"

"I figured this out a long time ago. As daver said, he must be able to control inertia. Hence gravity. Explains invulnerability without steel skin, how he can throw a small planet without recoil, telescopic vision (gravity lens), heat vision (actually accelerates collimated beams of particles/photons). Even time travel. Remember how he would travel in time by spinning very fast (he was doing that at least in the early 60's to visit the Legion)? Increase his mass and spin rapidly- Tipler cylinder!"

I have no idea what any of this means.

And for the first few years he was around, Superman could only jump really high/far with his super-strength, not fly. Hence, "leaps tall buildings in a single bound!"

It's just a comic book, but they have said there is an energy field that surrounds his body (energy given to him by our sun) that allows him to fly and protects his body (they showed that it also protected his costume, but not always his cape, so that would get tattered)

If you throw yourself to the ground, then you can't miss. If you throw yourself AT the ground, then you can miss it. :)

Perhaps it's his superhero ability to fly that gets him off the ground?

They were always making up stupid powers for him. Remember in that one movie he had some sort of vision power that let him fix the great wall of china by looking at it, as the wall started to fix itself. WTF?

How to Fly (http://rds.yahoo.com/S=2766679/K=how+to+fly+adams/v=2/TID=F234_46/SID=e/l=WS1/R=8/H=0/*-http://www.extremelysmart.com/humor/howtofly.php)

The first part is easy. All it requires is simply the ability to throw yourself forward with all your weight, and the willingness not to mind that it's going to hurt.

That is, it's going to hurt if you fail to miss the ground. Most people fail to miss the ground, and if they are really trying properly, the likelihood is that they will fail to miss it fairly hard.

Clearly, it is the second part, the missing, which presents the difficulties.

I think it was sheer willpower.. or maybe it was his sheer stockings.

I can't stand to fly, I'm not that naive,
I'm just out to find the better part of me.
I'm more than a bird, I'm more than a plane,
More than some pretty face beside a train, it's not easy to be me.
Wish that I could cry, fall upon my knees,
Find a way to lie about a home I'll never see.

It may sound absurd, but don't be naive,
Even heroes have the right to bleed.
I may be disturbed, but won't you conceed,
Even Heroes have the right to dream, it's not easy to be me.

Up, up and away, away from me, it's all right,
You can all sleep sound tonight, I'm not crazy or anything.
I can't stand to fly, I'm not that naive,
Men weren't meant to ride with clouds between their knees.

I'm only a man in a silly red sheet,
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street.
Only a man in a funny red sheet,
Looking for special things inside of me, inside of me.
It's not easy to be me.
