Super-heroes in Tights

Just a couple of thoughts about the evolution of Superman, otherwise known as The Big Blue Boy Scout, over the years.  He's always been one of my favorite super-heroes, right up there with Batman (although it could be argued that The Bat isn't a super-hero).  But, Supes' powers have gone up and down since his origin.
 
He started out where he could stop a bullet, but probably not a mortar shell. He could run faster than a freight train, and do the whole “… leap tall buildings…” thing, but he couldn’t fly. Then, later, he could fly. But, now he’s allergic to kryptonite (must be bad, being allergic to a chunk of your home planet).

At one time, he could move planets and fly through time.  Then, he couldn’t.
 
Oh, yeah, he's also been dead, then came back with Fabio hair.  Wonder what's next?
 
That's all I've got for now.  'til next time... Adios.
