There's never really been a limit shown, and he's gone as fast as or past the speed of light on more than once occasion...

Here's a real question for Superman and all who fly.

How do they exactly fly faster?

it's all to do with the brain. anyone who can fly under their own power has a certain psionic ability to regulate their flight with their mind, imo...

I didn't know that the ability to fly was psionic. I guess Peter Pan was right. But yeah question just popped up after hearing one of my favorite comedians.

most superpowers are psionic in nature, imo. magneto doesn't wave his hands at metal, he thinks what he wants to happen. arms are just used to look cool.

While i can see being able to regulate flightwith your mind. I dont agree with the idea that all his powers are becuase he's physic

Desaad speculated once that it was gravity/spacetime manipulation

Anyway he doesn't fly faster than light on earth because it would damage the planet but in space he has flown up to millions of times lightspeed (in Infinite Crisis when he flew from earth to the Andromeda galaxy in a few hours)

not all, but some. i mean, super strength and durability aren't psionic, not totally. he just throws a punch like anyone else would. wind breath is just blowing really hard.

stuff like heat vision, flight and cold breath, though, would have to be psionic in nature i think...

Don't forget that whole, "oh, I was out by Vega when I heard your signal watch, Jimmy" from Countdown.

He was definitely folding some kinda space/time to make that return trip.

I'd think that cold breath is just him blowing to cool somthing down, and thats just how cool his breath gets. ad heat vision well hes an uber alien i just figure the yellow sun gives him abilites that we can't understand

Yeah, Rao was stated to be in the Andromeda galaxy which is millions of light - years away, the calculations said it was a few million times lightspeed (that was using 12 hours for the travel time, which was probably an overestimation)

i just remember what yat said about it in glc, how it was almost an automatic response, which would indicate some sort of mental faculty, at least for me...

wouldn't that just mean its like a defense mechanism, but im sure its actually somthing in their eyes that works it. Obviosuly their mind controls it like it does everything else in their bodies, but i dont think it would be physic in nature.

I would think it is like his Super strength and Durability in that it is just his natural physiology. When a normal person blows hard it is cold air but with Superman it is well, super cold.
