Havig: time travel.
Danner: strength and speed.
Kent: strength, speed and more.
Kent's powers increased as his series progressed. For a while, by flying faster than light, he was able to time travel. An editorial reply to a reader's letter disclosed that he travelled into the future by spinning clockwise and into the past by spinning anticlockwise.
Danner's powers probably influenced Kent's and, for a while, Kent's powers included a duplication of Havig's. We find some obscure connections between fictional characters.

Kaor, Paul!
To paraphrase a line from one of Pournelle/Niven's books: "Popular culture in action."
Ad astra! Sean
Is that image from a comic that is pre or post 1957?
If pre, were the comic authors about to speculate about future events?
If post, did they pick 1957 because of the first artificial satellite?
Jim,
I don't know. I googled for images of Superman time travelling and that was one that came up.
Paul.
