Learning to Fly - Position 1: Fist on Breast

Being a series of vignettes aimed at educating the super-powered reader about the various possible permutations of the flight posture.A posture that may seem unusual, but was so popularized by Superman and his cousin as to become a classic. This posture uses one hand to direct the flight path and make the body more aerodynamic (less drag means less dishevelment), while still keeping a wound-up punch in reserve. Excellent for the old one-two.
Superheroines will also find that the position provides added support against both drag and gravity.

Awesome.

I'm trying to recall what cartoon (or SNL sketch?) spoofed this with a character standing upright while flying forward.

Ah, found it referenced on TV Tropes under "Up Up And Away".
