I'll vote for this one. The Mary Poppins Solution of Levity versus Gravity.

But pieceing togeather all his powers ,the only answer I could come up with is that, with his ablity to take in vast quantities of air into his lungs he must somehow be able to compress this air in his body,He then must pass some of this compressed air into his lower gut ,and then ,at will with super fast and powerful contractions of his sphincter force the compressed air out jet style ,thus rocketing himself forward at great speed and power.

This is just theory of course there may be some other explaination for his super flight ! What do you think??

I've always thought it was great bursts of gass from his "

I think he flies the way Neo flies in the Matrix. "There is no spoon."

Even Superman himself does not know the reason he is able to fly. He's simply been drawn to it from a young age.

That's because his body, just like his planet, contains much more mass. Yes, that's right. Superman is denser than everybody else.

but why then dosent he leave foot-deep footprints?

I think superman's hallucinating.

Why, he treads lightly, of course.

How does Superman fly?

Why,through the power of baking soda!

His propulsion closely resembles those little plastic baking soda boats that used to come in cereal. Just shove a little baking soda in and he putts around the bathtub. Or sky.

And speaking of the power of farts . . .

Foolish mortals! How many years have you had to observe Superman's costume? And yet still you fail to notice that SUPERMAN HAS NO FLY!!!!!

At first he didn't fly - he could just "leap tall buildings at a single bound."

But by the time I was reading the comic books he did fly.

What I want to know is - I remember reading that Ma Kent made his costume out of his blankets from Krypton, and he used his heat vision to cut the material and "sew" it together for her - but how did the costume grow with him? I think that may have been covered in the books at some time, but I've forgotten.
