[edit] Developing new powers

There is a section that reads essentially, "Superman being able to 'fly' to the year 70 million B.C." and refers to it as 'developing a new power'. This sequence occurs in the episode "The Time Trap". However, there is a sizable problem with this statement. It is incorrect. It is made quite clear by Superman's dialogue AND the narrator's exposition AND the effect that appears in the background that Superman was breaking the time barrier. Further, since Challenge of the Super Friends takes place in the pre-Crisis continuity (even though it is NOT considered canon), Superman DID INDEED have this ability -- and, if fact, first discovered it when he was SuperBOY. Because simply editing that section to take out this inaccuracy would be problematic -- I feel that the original author should decide how to handle this inaccuracy. If that segment is important there are other, more glaring examples that could be used -- such as The Flash suddenly developing the ability to fly -- he's shown 'taking off' from the Hall of Justice on at least two occasions. Or to stay with the time-traveling example, having Black Vulcan or more bizarre Batman's BATPLANE suddenly being able to travel through time. Black Vulcan, I might be able to buy -- but THE BATPLANE?Midknightryder13 22:42, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
