DC Extended Universe - Kryptonian Durability

[EsotericDichotomy]

I just have a quick question about Faora and the rest of the Man of Steel cast (Superman, Zod, Nam-Ek... etc) https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Faora-Ul_(DC_Extended_Universe)

Didn't Faora get KO'd by a missile? She was disoriented by her mask being broken, but how does the US military have Mountain level missiles on their jets.

Also in BvS (Spoiler if anyone hasn't watched it)

Superman gets nearly killed by the nuke, or at least significantly injured, and the US doesn't have Teraton Nukes... so it his durability should be much lower than Mountain level shouldn't it? He regenerates to my knowledge being in orbit he has more access to yellow sun and recovers before heading back down to face Doomsday.

After rewatching the clips involved with my questions, I am super curious what others have to say about this.

The former is not only an outlier, as Man of Steel doesn't have nearly as good feats as Batman v Superman, but it also provided literally no damage to her, and if you remember the movie, the Kryptonians weren't used to Earth's atmosphere so it's only natural for her to be disonrientated when her breathing mask is destroyed.

The Superman who was nearly killed by a Nuke had barely recovered from getting two Kryptonite Grenades, and had no access to sunlight to recharge his powers, as evidenced by the lingering scar on his cheek. When he is bathed in sunlight for mere seconds, not only are all the damage done by the nuke gone, but so is the previous scar. It is my belief that had the fight happened in broad daylight, the Kryptonite wouldn't have nearly the same effect.

And the Doomsday Feat is one that Doomsday did, and Post-Recharging Supes fought him alongside Wonder Woman.

Interesting, makes sense. Outliers always confuse and bother me anyway so it also makes sense why this was a point of confusion for me. Anyway thanks for answering.
