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.

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?
