[QUOTE=RealityChuck] Two words: [Wayne Boring](http://www.pigdogproductions.com/wayne%20boring.html) (note second image) [/QUOTE] Looking at the third picture down, the right one. You are right. Superman’s crotch is about 10 inches higher than Clark Kent’s. I will never be able to look at superman again without sympathy super-wedgie pain. ---

[QUOTE=C K Dexter Haven] Just as a brief aside: in the SUPERMAN TV Series with George Reeves, he flew with both legs straight and both arms forward. It does, indeed, not look anywhere as dramatic as one leg bent. [/QUOTE] Reason for Reeves’ flying posture: After an accident involving the suspension wires used for early flying scenes, he switched to being filmed lying face-down on a table, which was not conducive to cocking one leg forward.
