You are very correct that Thor's method is impossible. I am more interested in the fact that Stan Lee, in his Thor debut, took time to explain how he can fly. DC has never, until relatively recently by DC standards, even entertained a reason. They just always said "And now Superman flies away."

The point of a lot of these reviews is to examine what is presented within the pages of the issue themselves. Though I am conscious of the later retconning and development of most of these guys (less so with X-Men) I am not interested in that ret-conning in the article itself.

Thanks for the link. You just gave me something to listen to while I jog! LOL
