Powers and abilities of Superman The powers of DC Comics character Superman have changed since his introduction in the 1930s. Many other DC Comics characters have Superman's abilities from Kryptonian DNA, such as Zod, Kara Zor-El, and even the hybrid Superboy. The extent of Superman's powers peaked during the 1970s and 1980s to the point where various writers found it difficult to create suitable challenges for the character. Lex Luthor described Superman as a "living god" on Earth. As a result, his powers were significantly reduced when his story was rebooted by writer John Byrne after the "Crisis on Infinite Earths" series. After Byrne's departure, Superman's powers were gradually increased again, though with greater in-story explanation than his Pre-"Crisis" incarnation.

World's Finest Comics World's Finest Comics was an American comic book series published by DC Comics from 1941 to 1986. The series was initially titled "World's Best Comics" for its first issue; issue #2 (Summer 1941) switched to the more familiar name. Michael E. Uslan has speculated that this was because DC received a cease and desist letter from Better Publications, Inc., who had been publishing a comic book entitled "Best Comics" since November 1939. Virtually every issue featured DC's two leading superheroes, Superman and Batman, with the earliest issues also featuring Batman's sidekick, Robin.
