Swann's assistant, Bridgette Crosby) on his chest and the two personalities physically split. Martha Kent placed a chunk of Black Kryptonite (given to her by Dr. Black Kryptoniteįirst seen on TV's Smallville, the only time it was ever used on Clark was in the Season Four episode "Crusade", when he was reprogrammed as Kal-El. Luthor later learned it wasn't actually Superman he faced, but a Superman Robot. He hoped the that Superman would think that it was Kryptonite and thus hold back - which he did. It was not actually Kryptonite, but a harmless yellow sphere (as were the other types of Kryptonite he used). "Yellow Kryptonite" was part of a hoax masterminded by Lex Luthor. Living beings composed of various forms of Kryptonite. Gives Kryptonian powers to humans permanently. Kills all plant life, regardless of origin. It's also an antidote to the effects of Red Kryptonite. Has the same effect on Bizarros as Green Kryptonite does on normal Kryptonians. It was not otherwise harmful to Kryptonian life. This rare form of the mineral would destroy a Kryptonian's ability to process yellow sunlight, thus permanently removing their superpowers. In Smallville, Red Kryptonite's effect on Clark Kent is mental, making him act irrationally. In the Post-Crisis continuity, Batman created an artificial version of Red Kryptonite, which upon exposure would turn Kryptonian skin translucent-causing them to absorb copious amounts of solar energy to the point of being incapacitated. Red Kryptonite has unexpected consequences and what happens varies from exposure to exposure: turning into a dragon, excessive hair growth, gaining telepathy, etc. It was originally believed that the radiation emitted by green Kryptonite was harmless to anyone but Kryptonians, but it was later learned that long-time exposure was carcinogenic to humans, through Lex Luthors use of a fragment o green Kryponite in a ring he wore. They initially get flu-like symptoms and would quickly get weaker until death if not removed from the radiation. PowersĮxposure to Kryptonite can have a wide variety of effects depending upon its color and present form, the majority of them detrimental if not outright deadly.Įasily the most abundant and the first discovered, the green variety of Kryptonite sapped Kryptonians of their strength and abilities provided by a yellow sun. Luthor has successfully recreated Gold in the New Earth dimension, which strips all power processing of Kryptonians' bodies, though seemingly it is only temporary in its effect and not permanent, unlike the Pre-Crisis Earth-One Gold Kryptonite. Īll others forms of Kryptonite in the New Earth dimension are artificially created from Green through certain techniques to produce these other forms, such as radiation bombardment to accelerate Green's half-cycle into Red. In the Post-Crisis primary New Earth universe, there is only one natural form of Kryptonite, Green, and it is a compound made up of various elements. As far as Earth-One and related alternate realities were concerned, Kryptonite was a transuranium element that decayed to iron and didn't chemically react with oxygen (which was used to explain why small rocks of Kryptonite didn't burn up when entering Earth's atmosphere). In Pre-Crisis Continuity, depending on the particular dimension such as Earth-One, there were many forms and shades of Kryptonite, while others showed only one form such as Earth-Two and Earth-Three.
