[QUOTE="Dragonblade, post: 6146033, member: 2804"] Essentially a combination of the sun's radiation and the atmosphere is what gives them power. Not completely one by itself. Aboard the ship, most of the Kryptonians were not much above Earth normal. For the Kryptonians this is because they hadn't yet absorbed much yellow sun radiation (partially blocked by the ship's hull) and hadn't breathed a lot of Earth air. Supes was effectively poisoned by the ship's air becoming weaker. Initially very weak when he collapses, but eventually gets back to Earth normal as his body adjusts. When Jor-El changes the atmosphere back, he immediately recovers enough of his superhuman strength (which he still mostly had from prior residual radiation storage) to break free and punch a hole in the ship, where the unfiltered sun restores him back to full strength. The air change also temporarily weakens the Kryptonian scientist Jax-Ur because his body wasn't used to it. The same reaction Clark had when he was a baby as mentioned by Martha Kent earlier in the movie. It has a similar effect on the other Kryptonians too. Though as they breathed more of it, they would gradually get stronger again. On the ship, they weren't significantly stronger than humans because of the air and radiation shielding, but when on Earth, the sun and air gives them a big boost. Though they are all weaker than Superman until the end of the movie when Zod finally reaches near Superman level ability. The helmets primarily helped block the sensory overload effect, and helped filter enough Kryptonian air with Earth air so that it would mitigate the atmosphere adjustment period. Later Zod gets slammed with sensory overload when he loses his helmet, and later Faora does too. [/QUOTE]
