Ah, but assuming that the power of flight would be like Superman's (which I always thought was more of an infinitely long-range jumping ability than actual flight per se)
That would not explain how he can hover in mid-air, would it?
He originally only "leapt tall buildings," but it changed to flight in the mid 1940s and by the dawn of the silver age he would often levitate.
One reason we should define "flight" a little better: If it's just motion along the z-axis, that's not especially useful beyond fetching things from high shelves or tricking people into walking off of rooftops.
