We have the SUPERMAN radio show to thank for his being able to FLY. We can "thank" the 1948 serial BATMAN AND ROBIN for the existence of Vicki Vale. The phase "Compliments of your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man", which never really was used much in the comics, didn't appear until about 6 years AFTER it debuted on the 1967 SPIDER-MAN cartoons. And of course, Krypton being a cold, barren, inhuman place came from the 1978 SUPERMAN movie, 8 years before John Byrne decided to take the concept even further.
