Since it's set in Krypton, I'm assuming we're not going to see Superman-like powers at play. In which case, what would be the point? As shallow as it seems, the Superman franchise's main selling point is people who can fly and lift trucks.
Some of the old Golden Age stories depicted Kryptonians as having powers. Maybe SyFy will go with that theory. Though I suspect their plan is to do a "Game of Thrones" kind of thing where Krypton is a hotbed of political intrigue on a planet populated by weird creatures.
