Flight
From Smallville Wiki
Flight is an ability allowing someone to propel themselves through air and space.
Kryptonians with this power include Kal-El, Kara Kent, Zor-El, and Jor-El. For reasons unknown, Clark Kent is not able to consciously fly. This may be because of a mental block; he is afraid of heights. It is also possible for metahumans to possess this ability.
