What type of detail can you help me with, for the physics of superman?

I'm doing a physics project on the physics behind superman being able to "leap tall buildings in a single bound." That's what I'm focusing on, at least. I need to find out the force, energy, velocity or what ever to figure what amount he needs to leap the building. I'm not quite sure what formula's to use and how to figure anything out. But any help would be great. The project can be about anything but i just decided to choose superman. Thanks!|||here is one thing you can calculate


super mans feet only have about 2 or 3 sqare feet of surface area like a normal person's does. so when he holds something heavy why does he not go down into the ground like a nail into wood? the ground is not supergroud.


same with jumping over a building; why does the jump not dig up the ground with all that jump force pressing down. and how do you fly without expelling any gas? when you stop a locomotive why does his hands not puncture the front of the locomotive; steel is not that strong when something that small, like two hands is pushing on it with that kind of force?


when superman is kicking bad-guy butt at such a fast rate of speed why doesnt his knee caps catch on fire?|||Hmm... superman is made of paper (he only exists in comic books). How comes he does not catch fire when he dives into lava?





On the other hand... a paper hero can easily leap large buildings. He could fold himself into a paper plane and then catch an upwind...
