The scan is very clear to the fact that the powers were gained somewhere before being administered.Kal Kent is clearly powered by the Super-Sun itself AKA Superman's Fortress of Solitude, not Superman. Period.
Since Kal kent wasn't under the Super Sun he was losing his powers.
What's the difference between the super sun and the regular sun?
Super sun has fortress of solitude with superman inside. The scan Galan posted clearly states, powers gleaned from the very edges of time and space and [b] administered by the superman prime [b] from his new fortress of solitude deep with in the system's own yellow sun.
This tells you a lot of things, but most importantly the powers gleaned from time and space are administered by superman not the fortress or the super sun. Afterall the super sun is just our very own yellow sun with superman and his fortress inside. As long as Kal Kent is under this sun with superman giving him powers he will be at full strength.
