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*
Yeah, and even both together doesn't make much sense, since they wouldn't knock each other through buildings like in Superman II.

High actual ST (probably bought with Super-Effort), probably not with Cosmic (Irresistible) on the thrust damage (a few levels of Armor Divisor might make sense for such huge force applied across the small cross section of a human fist), since things like knocking down walls depend on overcoming their HP, not just penetrating their DR (even their cover DR). And after all, you want to be able to lift huge amounts too. Balance that against not just high DR, but the extended Injury Tolerance (Damage Reduction) and/or really high HP. Get the balance between the two right (maybe look at average damage done by one normal human punching another as a percentage of total HP, and go from there in tweaking), and it should be pretty much what you're looking for, two superhumans having roughly the same effect on each other as two humans, but completely wrecking their surroundings.

Yeah, Kryptonians don't really have a "negate one another's powers" ability, they just have damage and defenses on roughly the same scale. It would be simplest to have an "M-scale" (or whatever) advantage, which GURPS lacks; based on IT(DR) and super-effort ST, D-scale should be 500 points, C-scale 1,000, M-scale 1,500, and so on.
