  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.

    I agree. Superheros are best when defined by what they CAN’T do.

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

      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.
