Here, Superman keeps a collection of mementos and a laboratory for science experiments. <i>Action Comics</i> #241 (1958) depicts the Fortress of Solitude as a cave in a mountain, sealed with a very heavy door that is opened with a gigantic key too heavy for anyone but Superman to use.

The cover of <i>Action Comics</i> #1 shows him effortlessly lifting a car over his head. Another classic feat of strength on Superman's part is breaking steel chains. In some stories, he is strong enough to shift the orbits of planets<sup id="cite_ref-175" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-175"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>171<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and crush coal into diamond with his hands. </p><p>Since <i>Action Comics</i> #1 (1938), Superman has a highly durable body, invulnerable for most practical purposes. At the very least, bullets bounce harmlessly off his body. In some stories, such as <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_Come_(comics)" title="Kingdom Come (comics)"><i>Kingdom Come</i></a>, not even a nuclear bomb can harm him. </p><p>In the earliest stories, Superman's costume is made out of exotic materials that are as tough as he is, which is why it typically does not tear up when he performs superhuman feats. In later stories, beginning with <i>Man of Steel</i> #1 (1986), Superman's body is said to project an aura that renders invulnerable any tight-fitting clothes he wears, and hence his costume is as durable as he is even if made of common cloth. </p><p>In <i>Action Comics</i> #1, Superman could not fly. He traveled by running and leaping, which he could do to a prodigious degree thanks to his strength. Superman gained the ability to fly in the second episode of <a href="/wiki/The_Adventures_of_Superman_(radio)" class="mw-redirect" title="The Adventures of Superman (radio)">the radio serial</a> in 1940.<sup id="cite_ref-radioserialep2_176-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-radioserialep2-176"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>172<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Superman can fly faster than sound and in some stories, he can even fly faster than the speed of light to travel to distant galaxies. </p><p>Superman can project and perceive X-rays via his eyes, which allows him to see through objects. He first uses this power in <i>Action Comics</i> #11 (1939). Certain materials such as lead can block his X-ray vision. </p><p>Superman can project beams of heat from his eyes which are hot enough to melt steel. He first used this power in <i>Superman</i> #59 (1949) by applying his X-ray vision at its highest intensity. In later stories, this ability is simply called "heat vision". </p><p>Superman can hear sounds that are too faint for a human to hear, and at frequencies outside the human hearing range. This ability was introduced in <i>Action Comics</i> #11 (1939). </p><p>Since <i>Action Comics</i> #20 (1940), Superman possesses superhuman breath, which enables him to inhale or blow huge amounts of air, as well as holding his breath indefinitely to remain underwater or space without adverse effects. He has a significant focus of his breath's intensity to the point of freezing targets by blowing on them. The "freeze breath" was first demonstrated in <i>Superman</i> #129 (1959). </p><p><i>Action Comics</i> #1 (1938) explained that Superman's strength was common to all Kryptonians because they were a species "millions of years advanced of our own". In the first newspaper strips, Jor-El is shown running and leaping like Superman, and his wife survives a building collapsing on her. Later stories explained they evolved superhuman strength simply because of Krypton's higher gravity. <i>Superman</i> #146 (1961) established that Superman's abilities other than strength (flight, durability, etc.) are activated by the light of Earth's yellow <a href="/wiki/Sun" title="Sun">sun</a>. In <i>Action Comics</i> #300 (1963), all of his powers including strength are activated by yellow sunlight and can be deactivated by red sunlight similar to that of Krypton's sun. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Weaknesses">Weaknesses</h4></div> <p>Exposure to green <a href="/wiki/Kryptonite" title="Kryptonite">kryptonite</a> radiation nullifies Superman's powers and incapacitates him with pain and nausea; prolonged exposure will eventually kill him.

A powerful enough psionic can affect either the psyche or microbiology of Superman to induce strokes or mangle his internal organs, as well as disrupt his mind and perceptions of the world, something a young power-amped Gene-Bomb meta showcased in <i>Superman</i> #48 (Oct. 1990). </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Occasional_equipment">Occasional equipment</h3></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1251242444">.mw-parser-output .ambox{border:1px solid #a2a9b1;border-left:10px solid #36c;background-color:#fbfbfb;box-sizing:border-box}.mw-parser-output .ambox+link+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+link+style+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+link+link+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+.mw-empty-elt+link+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+.mw-empty-elt+link+style+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+.mw-empty-elt+link+link+.ambox{margin-top:-1px}html body.mediawiki .mw-parser-output .ambox.mbox-small-left{margin:4px 1em 4px 0;overflow:hidden;width:238px;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:88%;line-height:1.25em}.mw-parser-output .ambox-speedy{border-left:10px solid #b32424;background-color:#fee7e6}.mw-parser-output .ambox-delete{border-left:10px solid #b32424}.mw-parser-output .ambox-content{border-left:10px solid #f28500}.mw-parser-output .ambox-style{border-left:10px solid #fc3}.mw-parser-output .ambox-move{border-left:10px solid #9932cc}.mw-parser-output .ambox-protection{border-left:10px solid #a2a9b1}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-text{border:none;padding:0.25em 0.5em;width:100%}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-image{border:none;padding:2px 0 2px 0.5em;text-align:center}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-imageright{border:none;padding:2px 0.5em 2px 0;text-align:center}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-empty-cell{border:none;padding:0;width:1px}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-image-div{width:52px}@media(min-width:720px){.mw-parser-output .ambox{margin:0 10%}}@media print{body.ns-0 .mw-parser-output .ambox{display:none!important}}</style><table class="box-Expand_section plainlinks metadata ambox mbox-small-left ambox-content" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td class="mbox-image"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="[icon]" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1c/Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg/20px-Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg.png" decoding="async" width="20" height="14" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1c/Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg/40px-Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg.png 1.5x" data-file-width="44" data-file-height="31" /></a></span></td><td class="mbox-text"><div class="mbox-text-span">This section <b>needs expansion</b>.

Many Superman stories since then have depicted Superman and Lois as a married couple, but about as many depict them in the classic love triangle.

Due to financial difficulties, Wheeler-Nicholson formed a corporation with Harry Donenfeld and Jack Liebowitz called Detective Comics, Inc. In January 1938, Wheeler-Nicholson sold his stake in National Allied Publications and Detective Comics to Donenfeld and Liebowitz as part of a bankruptcy settlement. On September 30, 1946, these two companies merged to become National Comics Publications. In 1961, the company changed its name to National Periodical Publications. In 1967 National Periodical Publications was purchased by Kinney National Company, which later purchased Warner Bros.-Seven Arts and became Warner Communications. In 1976, National Periodical Publications changed its name to DC Comics, which had been its nickname since 1940. Since 1940, the publisher had placed a logo with the initials "DC" on all its magazine covers, and consequently "DC Comics" became an informal name for the publisher.</span> </li> <li id="cite_note-148"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-148">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text">See <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/United_States_Code/Title_17/Chapter_3/Sections_304_and_305">USC Title 17, Chapter 3, § 304(b) and § 305</a>.
