Superwoman Takes Flight: Why flying is Officially the BEST Kryptonian Power!
Superman has some seriously amazing powers! It's a tough choice to pick just ONE as the best. But wait till you hear this, folks. DC's brand-new Superwoman just settled the whole debate for us! Check out this amazing article and this brand new character – we’re highlighting how this new, very interesting development creates a ripple effect for the existing canon.
This exciting reveal comes in Superman #19 (written by Joshua Williamson, art by Dan Mora, colors by Alejandro Sánchez). It features Lois Lane as the incredible, and surprisingly powerful Superwoman. The book never outright says how she gets her powers, but fans generally assume it’s directly linked to those plot elements highlighted at the climax of Absolute Power, generating further questions and plot developments which can further help impact how other stories might unfold.
After taking down some villains, Superman and Superwoman are flying over Metropolis. Clark asks how she's feeling. Lois (super excited) gushes over how great things feel. Then makes a super cool observation about her father's (General Lane) early training, finally proving its usefulness now that she possesses this crazy awesome ability.
Then she does something really memorable: She points out the thing nothing prepares you for– that glorious, incredible ability to just take flight! Her description? Pure awe. “I don’t know how you ever slow down and let your feet touch the ground.”
This isn't just some random comment. The comic totally highlights flight. The scene repeatedly shows Lois and Clark soaring through the skies. There's even a bit of a flying race! The incredible focus makes Superwoman’s opinion super clear – flight is amazing; and those creative storytelling choices emphasize exactly just why this perspective would totally resonate for many long-time Superman fans. It does sound totally awesome, right?!
Besides that absolutely incredible flight, Lois gets Superman's entire powerset: super strength, super speed, invulnerability, heat vision, frost breath and super senses. It really sounds extremely overpowered, and considering some plot points that might appear in future comics– we see that this might develop even further. The plot does hint that Superwoman might not have her husband's strength initially and Mercy Graves’ warning ("don’t use that heat vision, you'll burn through energy!") further highlights how different these might end up; generating greater expectations for plot changes and additional conflict.
Superman #19 gives Lois Lane an incredible boost, giving us some key perspectives around Superwoman. While the exact methods still need explanation, she inherits the entire Superman powerset – making flight her personal favorite superpower; showing us that the most straightforward aspects and abilities, the things that sound very basic from the beginning; actually deliver enormous satisfaction for many audience members!
What’s truly exciting about this situation: Lois might even gain unique abilities down the line! It's going to add another layer to how this power is shown in those upcoming adventures, generating massive hype and expectation and adding further complexity to that incredibly simple observation highlighted within that very climactic scene between the duo!
