The Power of Superman, which is a DC Comics character, has changed a lot from its first appearance way back in the 1930s. The cast’s development was extensive. Thus, his abilities were also changed to keep the attention of the viewers. The powers’ extent of Superman happened way back in the 1960’s. Although what happened way back in the 1970’s to the 1980’s has lesser extent, it came to the period that it makes it harder for the director and writer to accumulate perfect trials for Superman. And because of this, his powers and abilities decreased when the time that his story was rewritten by John Byrne after the launching of “Crisis on Infinite Earths.” After the departure of Byrne, the abilities and powers of Superman were gradually increased, but, he is still weaker compared to the Superman of Pre-Crisis incarnation.
