But if he'd grown up on Krypton, he would have been just an average person like anyone else. He's not amazingly different from anyone else from there. In the same vein, if another Kryptonian had been sent to Earth as an infant and had the same amount of time growing up and honing their skills, they'd probably be just as on par with him, if not better.

It's a problem I had with a few situations before, like Zod etc showing up, they mastered the powers right away (or most of them did hehe), and were basically superman's equal in using them (not just in Superman II but in the comics/other movies/tv shows etc).

On the other side it would make sense for the kryptonians to be better fighters in many ways since they actually fought other people their own strength all the time, while superman literally has to pull his punches and not even try for most fights.

Other kryptonians come to earth and can instantly fly (not just in Smallville), Lana Lang got powers and literally could fly the next day. Zod and his gang flew up to the moon, then around the earth within hours of breaking out of the phantom zone etc.

Superman grew up with powers and took years to master them (some versions more than others), why did his cousin (super girl) instantly master them all? Heck even a dog was able to handle everything pretty much right away lol.
