Superman is described as having a "super-brain," but later texts refer to Superman as having a "super-intellect." He was able to converse fluently with a mermaid despite the fact that her tongue was completely foreign to him because his advanced intellect instantly comprehends her strange language. In one issue he combines his super speed and intellect and reads through a mountain of articles about Superman and one another occasion reads a 500 page book in 10 seconds flat.

This is an ancient Kryptonian discipline that works by shifting the user's consciences into a higher (Theta) state so that he can fight an enemy in a purely mental realm. Superman has yet to fully master this.>>
and av, 1/100 chance of what? beating supes??
According to Jurgens. Yes.
RC: You used to, back in the days of the old AOL/DC Comics boards. I remember one of the earliest times I came across you was when a fan asked your opinion on who would win in a fight between Superman and the Silver Surfer-and you said, "Superman . . . 99 out of 100 times; Surfer . . . once, because I’m being generous." The fan went nuts over that!
DAN JURGENS: Right. And at that time, when DC had the AOL boards set up . . . there was an innocence that was there [but] that has gone now and has been replaced by a mean spiritedness, sense of aggression and cynicism that I just don’t have time for.
At that time, too, we were encouraged as creators to have our own message boards on DC’s official AOL site, which I always was willing to do. I was always willing to answer those types of questions; later, as it became more and more, "You suck! Why did you do this?" . . . and those were the nicer guys . . . I just didn’t have time for it.
You talk about the controversial guys [in comics]. There are guys who make a living do that [responding to nasty fans], and really court doing that . . . it’s just that I really don’t have time for that.
