That said, if I'm understanding correctly? Put "Bane (Other Kryptonian's Attacks; Occasional), -5%" on their defensive traits and "Accessibility (Not Other Kryptonians), -10%" on their offensive traits. They can hit each other like they don't have any powers that way.

If you do the first without the second, they simply explode into a fine red mist when the other Kryptonian hits them.

If you do the second without the first, they simply ignore each other as they can't hurt each other in the slightest.

...

Pending clarification? *shrugs*
Heroic ST, Super ST, it had many names over the years of 3rd edition. What it amounted to was instead of the normal bell curve that all attributes used in 3rd edition, you could have "Extra/Heroic/Super/Whatever ST" as low as 1 CP per point of ST depending on the campaign and level of ST. So back then, you could pretty much make Superman able to punch the Earth and explode the planet, or rip it out of orbit for around 5000 points or so, maybe even less. Been a long time since I did the math, but it's nowhere near the 10,000 or more you'd need to be able to rip a planet out of orbit in 4th edition.

Since that's no longer possible and ST is just 10pts per point, I forgot that you could take "Extra ST" as an advantage to allow you to add modifiers to it yet it still affects your overall ST score. I was thinking "How do you modify something so basic as the attributes" again, I totally forgot the obvious, Extra ST, Extra DX, Extra IQ, Extra HT, etc to allow modifications.

Also, I might add that I use the official GURPS Character Assistant to make characters usually, and so while "Extra ST" isn't in the book in the advantages section, it's still something that the makers of the program, the official program, put in the program specifically for having ST with modifiers on it. Which is probably why I forgot about it, and also why you have no idea what I am talking about.
