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. Using his immense solar-fueled powers, he became Superman to defend mankind against all manner of threats while championing truth, justice, and the American way!
Golden Age for sure. JL Season 1 Superman may have been weak, but he had a much more versatile powerset than GA. The movie incarnations were SA ridiculous sometimes. Nowhere near the weakest.
@RoyHarperBLOW: Faster than a speeding bullet. More powerful than a locomotive. Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.
It wasn't until a little later he got flight, and I'm pretty sure (not 100%) that all the other stuff like heat vision, super breath, etc. was in the Silver Age
Never really viewed JL/JLU as a weaker version of Supes I mean he still had all his power, just that they never really put him to where his comic level is. Of course naturally, that was pretty much for all the heroes.
