Wow! So now a can of worms has been opened up for good.
If the invisible jet is magical and Hephaestus made it, then he's not just the best blacksmith that there ever was, he's a damn good aeronautical engineer as well. But then that just begs Sonia's question: where (and how) did he learn to make it? Did he attend MIT or CalTech? OK, he's a god and all that but it's a hellava lot harder than pounding out shield for Athena. How about parts? Do they also have to be made by Hephaestus, or does he outsource. What about fuel? Does it even need fuel?
LOL! Yeah, the ceiling bit does kind of make sense, doesn't it?
So maybe we can alter the Siegel & Shuster banner to read: "Faster than a speeding bullet. More powerful than a locomotive. Able to punch hole through his bedroom ceiling with a .....".
Perhaps with great power also comes great bladder control. Or, as is more likely the case, he makes the necessary adjustments to accomodate his webslinging jaunts. I'm quite certain, for instance, that on nights when Spiderman is on duty you won't find Peter Parker an hour before knocking back pitchers with Harry and Flash.
My real concern, and I hope I don't come off sounding too crude, would be the NUMBER TWO problem. Imagine you're tangling with the Rhino and all of the sudden you cramp up! Can't exactly call "time out", can you? So my guess would be NO saucy foods on crime-fighting nights; DEFINITELY no Indian or Mexican food.
I'm sure there must be some correlation between the personality of the hero and his/her bathroom habits. For instance, a control freak like Batman could probably anticipate down to the last second when he has to "go".

Well, you get the idea.
"How does he pee?"

Yes, I'm weird.
Great article, BTW.
