He even once translated a mermaid's speech, so alien languages are a cinch for him. It was said that his super-intelligence allowed him to instantly learn and understand any language spoken to him. The fact that Superman is an omniglot (someone who speaks multiple languages) is a power that goes back to his character before the "Crisis on Infinite Earths" in the Silver Age when he was much more powerful.

It's one of the best Superman movies ever made, but it also introduced some weird moments. The first power we'll cover will be from 1980's "Superman II," starring Christopher Reeve and directed by Richard Donner and Richard Lester. ![]()
