DISADVANTAGES [-100]
Code Versus Killing Pacifism; Cannot Kill [-15]
Heroic Values Selfless 12 [-5]
Kryptonian Physiology Requires Special Medical Care. If injured by something his Regeneration can't heal doctors need a small amount of Kryptonite to do simple tasks [-5]

Secret Identity, Clark Kent Harassment, relatives might be threatened [-10]
Vulnerability to Magic Wounding x4, Occasional [-40]
Weakness to Kryptonite. 1d damage per Minute, rare [-10]

Notes:
I considered Variable Innate Attacks were the norm so no enhancement required.
I hesitated to put Radiation Tolerance. Not sure Radiation factor should be a thing in a Super game.
DR, as a default, also covers the eyes. Not realistic, but very 4-colour.
I haven'y used Wildcard skills.
In a Super game, I am not convinced the granularity between E, A, H and VH skills is required or desirable. I used the standard rule anyway.
Supes has to choose which KRYPTONIAN POWERS he wants to use (AA) and his Super-Speed is tiring.
