I mean, why does this not apply to any other character, only Superman?If he happens to be flying while lifting a car, what's responsible, the upward motion of his flight, or his strength to hold the car.
Correct me if i'm wrong, but even if i was to use this ridiculous logic myself, and say it's Supermans flight that is keeping the car in the air, then wouldn't that mean that his body would've dropped it because it wasn't strong enough to support it?
Are you implying that Supermans flight, and strength are manifested by two different people?
Because even if we use this 'logic' it's still SUPERMAN doing the flying AND the lifting.
And he wasn't flying when holding a black hole in his hands.
Let me explain. 100% of Superman's greatest strength feats are inertia based, SIMPLY PUT - Kent builds up momentum using his ability to fly as his size and frame only allow him to do so much.
Yes he can lift cars, tanks, etc but if superman were to try for instance to brace that 150 billion mountain....We have never seen Superman do anything like this simply standing without building inertia using his ability to push himself through space (flight). There is no way possible for Superman to be able to push a moon etc, with raw strength without using his ability to utilize momentum.
The reason this is relevant is because we are talking about a toe-to-toe standing fist fight versus World War Hulk....and not utilizing flight....which handicaps Superman here.
Its degree of physics that is applied to the story...The writers themselves have commented on this time and time again.
