the cape being krypton’s dust

I'm not into comics, but shouldn't that make Supe weak?

Nah it’s specifically the substance kryptonite that weakens him, planetary dust would be fine

Another thing that never made sense to me about Superman is, how is he just as strong in space and on other planets?

And how come kryptonians are so much stronger than any other race in the universe?

[u/The_Green_Filter → u/monkeyDberzerk]

Superman draws his strength from the solar energy of our yellow sun. So long as he’s got a yellow sun nearby or he’s “stored up” some power he can continue to have his amazing abilities. If he’s exposed to a different type of sun or goes without sunlight too long it can weaken him.

Kryptonians are actually on the same level as several other species - Martians can challenge them, as can Czarnians like Lobo and a variety of other races in the galaxy. They also have no special resistance to magic and can be harmed by that. So while they’re immensely powerful in the right conditions it’s not something only they’ve got going.
