But Superman later got upgraded to the classic "faster than a speeding bullet" - which is about 1,800 miles per hour. (And technically, that record was set after Action Comics #1 had hit the stands!) That's still faster than the fastest human ever recorded - Usain Bolt's been clocked at 27.8 mile per hour, so Superman's still four and a half times faster than the fastest human ever, and that could qualify as super speed.

By providing the cover and a date, I think it would give folks a visual and chronological reference to what was going on culturally at the time. I mean, you can say he first displayed the ability to time travel in Superman #141, but I don't think that really registers even with most comics fans. I thought the idea of not just mentioning what issue a power debuted in, but providing the cover might be interesting to provide some context to the era of comics at the time. Primo – an upcoming freevee show inspired by Shea Serrano’s life in San Antonio - following a teenager balancing the responsibilities of society, college, and home with the support of his mother and five uncles.I had this idea a little while back to do a Twitter thread where I posted each of Superman's powers in the order they were first mentioned/used and the cover of the issue where they first appeared.
