Except:

(a) He loses his strength under a red sun, even with Earth-normal gravity.

(b) He loses his strength when he visits the miniaturised Kryptonian
    city he keeps in a bottle in the Fortress of Solitude.

(c) A small piece of Kryptonite of the appropriate colour (red? I forget)
    annibilates his super-strength.

Check your back issues if you don't believe it. Empirical, reproducible
evidence!

DISCLAIMER: It's a long time since I read this stuff, maybe DC have changed
	the rules. These days I only read intellectual magazines like Batman.

NOTE FOR THE HUMOUR CHALLENGED: You still here?
