I see. Thanks 👆Same thing with flight assisting Supes in lifting/carrying large objects? Think that concept also originates from Byrne's era.
Yeah, Byrne was very much of the mind that Superman's powers were basically mind/willpower based. His strength was more like tactile TK than just pure muscle, and so on.

Which was something I personally liked for Superman.
That was also used as the base for Plutonians powers. Plutonian was manipulating matter with his mind. He was strong and durable, because he increased the density of his own body, while lowering the density of his opponents. That's also why he could lift heavy objects without them collapsing under their own weight. He had heat vision, because he was moving molecules frantically, thus increasing their heat and speed. Same with freeze breath by bringing molecules to a halt. And so on.

Yeah, it's a really neat concept imo.

👆Later they explored the tactile TK idea further with Conner Kent, right?
Yeah, Conner was explicitly said to have tactile TK iirc.
