Character » Superman appears in 18942 issues.
Sent to Earth as an infant from the dying planet Krypton, Kal-El was adopted by the loving Kent family and raised in America's heartland as Clark Kent.

Does Superman have Superhuman Agility?
In Super human speed he has the Ability to move at speeds far greater than normal humans are capable of. Top speeds have ranged from hundreds of miles per hour to speeds far greater than the Speed of light. Includes the speeding up of his thoughts and perception to be able to control his actions as well as normal while moving at high speeds.
But is he agile like an olympic gymnest like Batman Wolverine Spiderman and Beast? Like... can he do a Full Split, Lift 1 leg vertically in the air and still remain balanced, Balance himself upside down on one hand preform arial stunt, kicks and splits without relying on flight? stuff like that" In Flight Super man has the Ability to propel himself through the air at will. Has ranged from simply being able to jump great distances using his superhuman strength, to being able to accelerate, float in midair, change direction and traverse interstellar distances without stopping.

" @Kingzila said:Well, I have never seen him do a backflip while kicking someone or using any form of martial art other than the art of DA PUNCH. But, doesn't mean he can't."

" Was curious if superman had superhuman agility as in balance coordination movement etc? "I'd say he does. Wouldn't he almost have to? There's nothing stopping him from doing a flip with countless rotations at superhuman speed and landing on his feet. Since he can fly wouldn't that allow him to perform handstands and other gymnastic type moves with ridiculous balance? We already know he has crazy coordination. So even though I dont have any scans or examples to fall back on, I'm still gonna say he has superhuman agility. He just doesn't need/use it.

" @Gambler: Fair enough. I had said that I had never seen it, but now I have. ;-) "Oh I wasnt trying to prove you wrong or anything. Just thought I'd show you some examples.
" @GreenLantern555 said:Well, what i meant from the post that I sent was that it's rare to see Superman do somersaults over someone just to get on the other side of him/her and whatnot. Basically cause he has speed and can fly." @Gambler: Fair enough. I had said that I had never seen it, but now I have. ;-) "Oh I wasnt trying to prove you wrong or anything.

" @WDW said:I was thinking more along the lines of doing full splits and being really flexible and moving with efficiency kind of like these pictures without relying on flight but I get what you are saying... he would not need to be."

" No, he doesn't. He has the agility of a normal human who regularly works out. Any street leveler would beat his butt in an agility contest. Of course his other powers MORE than make up for it. "Oh then I am really confused because on the battle application they have on this site he is #2 in rank in agility beating out everyone accept spiderman seemed pretty odd.
" @AtPhantom said:Never take ranks on this site seriously. It has Spiderman beating God on overall power. It's fan based." No, he doesn't.

I'm not too sure. At first, I thought so, but after reading AtPhantom's posts, I'm not so sure he has superhuman agility.
yes when on new krypton he showed supior skill to other kryptonians like shown above by gambler, even when he lost his powers in batman/superman issue (can't remember) he had peak human abilitys like batmam. remember even without his powers his built, skilled and has never had a health problem
He can run as Flash and he has superhuman agility of course.Superman is faster then light and how he can t be agile this theme make me laugh SO STUPID.............. HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.
Wouldn't it be better to compare Superman's agility to that of Daredevil? I once heard that DD gets his agility from his enhanced senses making him in tune with his body's sense of balance or something. And since Superman CLEARLY has the superior senses why not have a super sense of balance? I mean I have never actually seen him move around like a gymnast but still what's stopping him if someone as bulked up as Batman can do it? I wonder if he can walk on a wire effortlessly though.
Superman's keen sense of balance is far more impressive than his brute strength. You simply cannot balance large and heavy objects on the palms of your hands with strength alone. We already have modern machinery capable of lifting a giant rocket, for instance. But balancing said giant rocket on a 5 inch x 5 inch surface? Good luck.
