Hulk if your chair at work has wheels here's a simply demonstration using a push instead of a pull.
Lift your feet off the ground and push against your desk. Typically you'll move because your desk has more mass than you do. Now reset it up but place a pen on your desk and push. Then pen moves because it has a much smaller mass than you.
Now you've exerted a lot of force on the desk more so than the pen similar to what Clark would have done to the Helicopter. Now reset it and push harder. You'll move away faster. In the same way the Helicopter has more mass than Clark. Even if he would have pulled harder he would have moved towards the helicopter.
