In the pre-flying days he wasn't that fast.  He was only "terrifyingly" fast (I believe that's how they put it).

whenever superman lost his powers he did dumb stuff like try to fight normal when his fortress is loaded up with legion flight rings, force field belts, an array of beam weapons-
stupid.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to reach a fortress in a frozen wasteland after you're lost your powers? It's no fun, let me tell you!

I'm more concerned with 1940/41  plausibility of the last panel.

Why are they spelling 'surprise' wrong? That's not an American thing is it? Is that an archaic spelling?

It might be easier if they would define their terms more specifically in line with the terms used in the books, like, "the first appearance of a swoop," "the first appearance of a controlled descent into a crater or volcano," etc.
