However, when you take a Krypton and put them on a planet under a yellow sun (i.e. Earth) they have special superhuman powers. Superman's powers are a result of being raised on Earth, his human personality traits are a result of his upbringing by Jonathan and Martha Kent his Earth parents.

Not exactly. Other Kryptonians who grew up elsewhere and end up on Earth still develop powers. It's exposure to the yellow sun that gives powers. Kryptonians don't have to be raised on Earth. Superman will also lose his powers if he spends too much time away from a yellow sun.
