      Then you’re just a normal alien. The idea behind the kryptonite is that it weighs you down your whole life living on planet krypton – when you finally are free of it, you’re superpowered. Without kryptonite, there’s no superman.

          For the really powerful ones, but for instance I think spider man is better defined by what he CAN do, which is actually a pretty small list.

            I think Spider-man has the heart of a more powerful hero, and his limited power set is his restriction.

            He constantly punches above his weight, giving him an underdog status that’s VERY appealing, as evidenced by his popularity.

          Superman can’t be around Kryptonite and Batman can’t be around his parents.
