![]() 2 Silver/Bronze Age (Pre-Crisis)/Earth-1 Superman.After Byrne's departure, Superman's powers were gradually increased again, although he still remains weaker than his Pre-Crisis incarnation. As a result, his powers were significantly reduced when his story was rebooted by writer John Byrne after the Crisis on Infinite Earths series. The extent of his powers peaked during the 1960s and - albeit to a lesser extent - the 1970s and 1980s, to the point where it became difficult to create suitable challenges for the character. He is one of very few fictional characters that had his abilities expanded already by his own creators, for example originally Superman only had super strenght, speed and invulnerability, then in Action Comics #11 he is portrayed to also have X-ray vision and limited (compared to later instances) super hearing, which he clearly did not have before as Superman tended to peek through windows in order to see and hear criminals, eventually, already in the later 1940's Superman could very easily time travel by running too fast to pass through a "time barrier". As the character developed, his abilities were enhanced in order to maintain the interest of his audience. ![]() The powers of the DC Comics character Superman have changed a great deal since his introduction in the 1930s.
