Superman flying through Sun in All-Star Superman comics
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Superman has one of the largest array of powers of any DC superhero. While most fans know that Superman's powers come from the sun, that wasn't originally the case. In Superman's earliest appearances, the Man of Steel wasn't powered by the sun, but instead got his powers from somewhere much stranger.
The comic explains that on Krypton, every Kryptonian is at the peak of physical conditioning and can easily leap tall buildings or lift cars or anything else they want. These powers are only enhanced while on Earth, making Superman even stronger and able to leap even further. Superman's Sun-Based Powers Didn't Come Until Much Later in His History Superman's Golden-Age Powers Were Radically Different Close The Golden Age Superman simply wasn't as affected by gravity on Earth, and he was completely independent of the sun. This means that on any planet Superman went to, unless the gravity was more powerful than Krypton's, he'd be able to hold his own no matter what. Whether it be under a red, yellow, or blue sun, it wouldn't matter.
Eventually, as comics changed, Superman would have to rely on the yellow sun to power up. The explanation of the lighter gravity was entirely removed, and it makes sense why. Having Superman be put under different suns or having Earth's yellow sun change colors is a neater narrative device than the gravity of Earth being changed. If the sun turns from yellow to red, that really only affects Superman, but if Earth's gravity was increased, it would affect everyone.
