People from krypton don't usually have powers, Superman gets his from unique radiation from earth's sun.
When a piece of kryptonite is near him, it negates the Sun's effect

So then shouldn't he just act like a normal human, rather than dying on the floor?
Well there's a also the fact that kryptonite is not just part of his planet, it's a radiated part that changed upon entering earth's atmosphere.
I think if on his home planet nothing would happen because it's not radiated. And because it does cancel the yellow suns effect and is radiated he rolls around dying.
Right so, I'm reading all these posts and the urge to set things right overtakes me. Superman was sent away from his home planet Krypton as the last survivor because his father Jor-el, the foremost scientist of their planet had made two discoveries. The first was that the excessive use of technology to harness their radioactive core for daily use and energy had caused the planet to be unstable and it would violently explode within a few more months. The second was that the numerous generations of cloning alongside the products of their technology had caused them to have a fatal reaction to the normally harmless radiation from raw Kryptonite (why humans and aliens alike can hand it with their bare hands)This meant that even if they could get on spaceships before the explosion, the massive wave of radiation from the planet's death would wipe them out in their spaceships.
The only reason why Superman was able to escape and doesn't just fall dead when confronted by Kryptonite is because he was the first Kryptonian of natural birth in centuries, and his father had built a futuristic space pod by incorporating a legendary Kryptonian artifact that would protect it's one occupant from the wave of debris and radiation from krypton's demise. Once Krypton exploded, shards of it's radioactive core were jettisoned among the stars and eventually became Kryptonite.
Nah, kryptonite is basically the human equivalent of uranium. It's radioactive which is why not everyone on krypton just died. It's also not found everywhere
