other than the fact that super powers don't exist, etc, here is proof Superman as a cartoon is not real. There is a scene where lois is falling from atop a building and he flies up and saves her. Let's say Lois weighs 60 Kg and is falling at 55 meters per second (terminal velocity for a body). Superman flies up at 10 meters per second and is still going 10 m/s after he saves her. The act of catching her takes 0.3 seconds.

Therefore, Lois undergoes a 65 m/s change in velocity over 0.3 seconds. Therefore, her average acceleration is approximately 217 m/s^2. She weighs 60 kg.

By F=ma, The force exerted on Lois by Superman in Newtons is equal to (60)(217). This is approximately 13000 Newtons or 3000 pounds. Therefore, we must conclude that Lois should die.

This is from my online physics class. I found it funny tongue.gif

Because all of the inertia countering he does screws with his brain

It's cause it's a cartoon and if he ran there would be no drama or action dammit!
