Line 27:
* In ''[[Superman Returns]]'', Superman was weakened with a Kryptonite shard in his side, so he [[Fight Off the Kryptonite|Fought Off the Kryptonite]] by rising into the sunlight.
* In the live action ''[[He-Man and the Masters of the Universe]]'' film, He-Man had his sword taken from him and used to unlock the secret powers of Grayskull. He was left as a strong but weaponless warrior. Retaking his sword from the lock seemed to renew his strength and even frighten the empowered Skeletor.
* Sir Gawaine, from [[King Arthur|Arthurian legend]], is solar-powered -- as the sun rises, his strength grows above human normal, until noon, when it starts to fade; at night he is no stronger than any other man.▼
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* In ''[[Smallville]]'', Clark is fighting against his Bizarro clone who has all of his powers inverted. Kryptonite strengthens him and the sunlight weakens him. It was here that Clark learns that the yellow sun fuels his powers. In an earlier episode, solar flares/sun spots cause his powers to go haywire and he doesn't have the same precision control.
* In ''[[Lois and Clark]]'':
** A villain has a disintegration weapon that's capable of hurting Superman but they aren't positive they can kill him while using it. To ensure Superman is weakened, they make a catastrophe in an underground missile silo so that while using his powers he doesn't have a backup charge. Superman wins when Lois shorts out the silo door controls, opening them so he could recharge.
** Lex Luthor is shown using the same weapon against Superman, but simply attacks at night, using Supes' parents as hostages so he won't escape to a part of the word where it's day.
