Super leap
- "Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound." – Lois Lane, to Clark Kent, Crimson
Added by Kal-ELSuper leaping is the ability to jump extreme distances, vertically and even horizontally.
Before the second half of series finale, Clark couldn't mantain flight, instead, he combine his super strength and super dexterity to perform highly accurate super leaps.
Clark first demonstrated a small degree of this ability while he was playing basketball, though he jumped his first vast distance to save his mother, displaying great hesitancy; since then, he has shown increasing amounts of confidence and control over his super leaps.
But now that he can fly, it's highly inferred that he doesn't use it anymore.

- Clark leaps onto a rooftop after saving Lois. (Charade)
Season TenEdit
- Clark super-leaps upwards to catch the Daily Planet globe from falling on the citizens of Metropolis below, using his super strength and willingly propelling himself upwards, almost like flying; he guides the globe back onto the rooftop with the crowd below cheering him on in appreciation. (Lazarus)
NotesEdit
- It is interesting to note that the canonical introduction of the Golden Age Superman showed that he did not fly; he preformed enormous leaps. In later issues of Superman, he was given the power of flight. It could be argued that Clark Kent on Smallville is simply following canon.
