The source of Superman’s powers on Earth was credited in the Golden Age to his Kryptonian heritage, specifically the fact that his home planet had a far stronger gravity than Earth’s. For example, the moon’s much smaller size compared with Earth results in a weaker gravitational field, so objects on the moon weigh less than they do on Earth. Consequently, an Earthman, whose muscles and bones are adapted to Earth’s gravity, is able to lift moon cars overhead and leap moon buildings in a single bound.
