And in other issues he could only jump the same as a normal man if
stripped of his flying power but keeping his strength. And then lots
of editorial letters explaining why that happened. Comics are rarely
internally consistent nor good use of logic. That is why games have
powers like super-jump etc to try and explain these problems.. [Hulk
and Thor are usually in the same 'class' of strength, but the Hulk can
jump 50 miles while Thor can only jump a bit more than a normal human.
The physics of their strength actually was computed that both should
be able to jump over a couple of miles.. but the comics never follow
that.]
