Originally posted by Artemis: (moved from the No Kryptonite in MoS thread due to spoilers) There was Kryptonite in the atmosphere of Zod's ship. MoS lost his powers there. When Zod breathed Earth atmosphere, he started getting the powers, heat, vision, etc and didn't know how to control it.
I thought that at first too, but it wasn't that. The atmosphere on the ship matched that of Krypton (a world with a red sun instead of a yellow sun) which is why Zod's team doesn't have powers on the ship but do when they expose themselves to our sun. It didn't make much sense that Zod and his team needed to breathe Earth's atmosphere to get all that the Yellow sun offers them, unless their uniform shields them so complete from the sun and they waited until their air guard gets knocked off to get truly exposed. If there had been Kryptonite on Zod's ship then it would have killed Zod and his team, wouldn't it have?
