[about Neri's people's need to maintain their skin wet]
: perhaps itīs a girl-thing.

It would be veeery strange; and people would make bad jokes about that.

: how come you reckon that Kal has ultra-strenght because Neri has super
: strenght?

All Neri's people should be stronger than ordinary humans, because they spend a lot of their life underwater (at least, more than we do), an element with more density than air.
They should have more powerful muscles than us to move themselves into such a dense matter. Centuries of evolution should have turned the members of this species into very strong beings.
Now, it would be strange if the "superstrenght matter" was a girl-thing too, if it depends on the life underwater.
In the 3rd series, Kal attends to gym lessons, or something like that. He is not just the first of his class, he is evidently superior skills.
He had been hibernated for 10 years or more, and after a short time he can already stand on one of his hands (the scene of the exams at the gym class, i think).
And look at his body.

Sorry, my religion prevents me from joking about washing powder stuff :)

:Look at Mera, she spend her whole childhood with humans, without leaping
: tall buildings or running faster than a speeding bullet.

Both Neri and Mera are not that kind of people who use violence. And I never said they can run faster than a speeding bullet. Again, during her childhood, Mera didn't know her origins: the "superstrenght", as I call it, it's not a super power. It's a normal skill of her race, but due of the places where she lived (more surrounded by air than water) she hadn't the chance to "train" her muscles as the rest of her people do.
The first time that Mera swims in the ocean, towards Neri's island, she can't even swim like Neri; nevertheless, one of the main skills of her race is to swim, swim better than us.

So, the flaw I thought I found is not a flaw, due to what I've written before: if Kal hadn't passed his teenhood into a block of ice, and had made a little training, he would have enoungh strenght to face at least five adult humans.
But nor him neither anyone of his people would be able to leap tall buildings (that is the Hulk's duty ^_^) or throw giant rocks (again the Hulk).

Byetoall!!! I leave to the UK for the next three weeks (english improvment and quest for girlfriends)!
Take care guys, girls and whales!
