         Ah,the weighty matters under discussion! Ph.D. Thesis be damned!

         First, I would like to thank those who have responded to my
     questions. I'm not sure about the explanation  about how he regains
     his powers. I was under the impression that the green crystal
     was an educational tool and not the source of any additional
     powers. After all, the bad guys had all of Supermans powers
     without the benefit of a crystal. Its true that the only
     powers he displayed until he found the crystal were strength
     and speed but I thought this was because he didnt know he had other
     powers.(Incidently I think that in the original Superman comic
     book these powers and invulnerability were all the powers he had;at
     first he could only "leap great distances in a single bound" and 
     not actually fly)
