I was thinking. Superman's new Solar Flare flare power was revealed pretty much right before his power loss, and he has been shown using it a lot, to the point of some people saying that it is overuse. What if the two are connected?
My theory is that his cells are damaged when the Solar Flare is used. If it is used sparingly, his body can handle it and slowly repair the damage, repairing it enough within twenty-four hours for his powers to return, but leaving other sorts of problems in his genetic code that take longer to repair. Those errors can build up with repeated use of said Solar Flare, having it take longer and longer for his powers to return and eventually leading to his DNA being warped beyond the Fortress' ability to recognize him.
What do you think? Have I hit on the reason, or am I just crazy? Do you have any other theories about his power loss?
