    So I have a question. I know New Krypton is gone now, but when it was around, did the New Kryptonians have all th same powers as Superman? I didn't read any of the New Krypton titles, but this question has been bugging me. It's kinda lame if they were just as powerful as Supes because you would think they would have survived  an explosion .

    Yes, they all had the same powers under the yellow sun, but what made Superman stand out was the fact that he has fought for many years.

    Alright, thanks guys. I still think that's kinda lame though. Supes should be the only on with kryptonian powers.

    Well, the thing was that Supes had the most experience in the use of his powers since he'd lived under a yellow sun all his life, giving him an edge against kryptonians less experienced than him in the use of said powers.  I personally hope at least a small group of Kryptonians survived New Krypton's destruction, one of them could make an interesting new foe for superman, or better yet, Supergirl (who's in dire need of her own rogues gallery)
