Post a Comment. The first assignment I'm giving my students in this year's iteration of the graphic novel course is to read A Contract With God alongside a comic book that could have been on the stands when Eisner's book was first published.
And this time, because I have seventy students in two section of the class, I can't rely on the Joe Stinson Collection , so I'm having everyone read a single issue of Superman published late in In Superman , we visit a jail that has been specially designed to house super-villains the Atomic Skull, the Parasite, and Metallo, possibly with Terra-Man on his way. Each of them dwells in a small box with a cot and a few vaguely delineated furniture-like objects.
Each cell is specially engineered to prevent the escape of that specific villain. Also, the boxes are draining the villains' powers into special devices that another super-villain will use, but that's neither here nor there. Here's Metallo, chillin' in his crib, as it were.
Aren't cyborgs cute in slacks? This is Red Kryptonite's only appearance in the series, so it is unknown if the substance would have had other effects on Superboy if it had appeared again.
The "Superboy" series also introduced a form of White Kryptonite, however this was not the white kryptonite that kills plant life as seen in the Pre-Crisis comic books. This White K was created by Professor Peterson's duplicating ray in an attempt to create a form of Kryptonite that would kill the molecularly unstable Bizarro. This Kryptonite did not kill Bizarro, however. It instead had an opposite effect on him and actually stabilized and cured him, preventing him from eventually exploding as previous Bizarro duplicates had.
It is referred to again in "The Bride of Bizarro" but it is not seen. The s and s Super Friends animated series featured kryptonite in various episodes, usually green. In the episode "Rest in Peace", Sinestro refers to a form of kryptonite called "Krypton Steel" as "a harmless form of kryptonite that only Superman can penetrate".
In another episode, "Darkseid's Golden Trap", gold kryptonite appears, which is stated to have an effective range of 20 ft 6. Blue kryptonite also makes an appearance in one episode; Superman, aging rapidly from exposure to Red Kryptonite, acquires a sample of Blue Kryptonite which had been discovered floating in space and uses it to cure himself Blue Kryptonite has negative effects on Bizzaro, so it should have positive effects on Superman.
In the s series, Superman: The Animated Series , one explanation offered for the science of kryptonite is that Superman feels the detrimental effects of kryptonite radiation quicker that normal humans because his body absorbs it more readily, as a result of sharing a common point of origin with the element. The effect is so potent that even a tiny shard is enough to painfully affect Superman at a short distance. This makes it impossible for Superman to even touch the substance, as it would be the equivalent of a normal man touching radioactive rods from a nuclear reactor with his bare skin.
Only the element of lead is able to block the radiation, and is therefore Superman's only protection. Fortunately, Professor Hamilton supplies Superman with a distinctive and durable lead protection suit for such situations. Kryptonite, in the animated series, still has effects on normal humans as well.
Two moments are evidence of this. This does bring up the question of Batman's habit of also carrying a piece of kryptonite in his own belt; however, since Batman has seen what the kryptonite did to Luthor, the famed methodicality of Batman may mean that he likely has the pouch lined with lead.
In Batman Beyond , it was revealed in the two part episode "The Call" that Bruce Wayne kept the kryptonite for the rest of his life, and kept the needle of kryptonite locked up very securely in the Bat Cave.
The Justice League series also reveals how Batman obtained the kryptonite. Green kryptonite remains the only variety of the substance ever seen in the DCAU. As mentioned above, the Krypto the Superdog episode "Streaky's Cat Tail" features "purple-spotted kryptonite", which causes Superdog to compulsively chase his tail. However, this was almost certainly a product of Streaky's imagination. Red Kryptonite has appeared and is stated as having weird effects on Kryptonians for a day; it has swapped the minds of Kevin and Krypto, and removed Krypto's powers.
Kryptonite also appears in an episode of the Legion of Super Heroes cartoon, where it is revealed Brainiac 5 has a piece of it, and that the villain Drax , who, despite being an analogue to Superman, is immune to it. In the s television series Smallville , the show expands on the concept of the substance being harmful to humans, as well as making extensive use of the substance.
On the show, not only is green kryptonite referred to in the first two seasons of the series as "meteor rock" harmful to Clark Kent , but it can produce bizarre changes in humans, animals, and plants, typically turning them into powerful mutant menaces, commonly known by the denizens of Smallville as "Meteor Freaks," that Clark must oppose.
These changes seem to be linked to the circumstances under which the subject was exposed to kryptonite and the subject's emotional state similar to how gamma radiation affects people in the Marvel Comics universe. Groups of people have been shown to acquire the same powers from kryptonite by exposing themselves to it in the same manner. It is interesting to note that exposure to kryptonite among Caucasians causes them to gain superpowers while prolonged exposure to kryptonite among African-Americans causes them to have involuntary spasms and seizures as evidenced in the episodes "Jitters" and "Duplicity" , though this is never explicitly stated, and thus is probably coincidental.
The harm inflicted on Clark by kryptonite on Smallville is varied. He cannot be near green kryptonite without doubling over in nausea and pain, and if he were to hold a fragment of it in his hand, it would burn to the touch and the veins in his hand would become exposed and green.
However, on other separate occasions Clark has held and even ingested kryptonite albeit in dilluted form and been merely weakened. When a vial of Clark's blood was held up to kryptonite to verify its authenticity, the blood began to boil. Red kryptonite has also been shown in Smallville.
Its effect on Clark Kent is to rid him of all inhibitions, making him rebellious and potentially dangerous if exposed to it for too long. Also created for the series was black kryptonite first appearing in the episode "Crusade" , which is capable of separating certain entities within individual organisms, e.
Black kryptonite was formed by heating up green kryptonite. In the series, after Clark's "reprogramming" by Jor-El in the caves, Martha Kent used black kryptonite to reveal the two psyches of Clark, the militant Kal-El not to be confused with the rebellious " Kal " alias caused by red kryptonite , and normal Clark.
In a later episode, Lex Luthor was experimenting with a process to heat up green kryptonite and irradiate seeds, in order to separate the "weak" genes from the "strong" genes in the seeds. The result was hardy but rotten-tasting fruit, implying a yin and yang balance within fruit, as well as within humans.
An accident with this process caused Lex to split into a good Lex and a bad Lex who referred to himself as "Alexander". Silver kryptonite made an appearance in the fifth season episode entitled "Splinter".
Like the previous comics incarnation, this silver form was not a true form of the stone. In the episode, Clark pricked his finger on a rock that was black and had silver-metallic clusters, and subsequently became increasingly paranoid, hallucinating that others were conspiring against him. In the episode's final scenes, it was revealed that a splinter of the element entered Clark's bloodstream. It was also shown that silver kryptonite was created artificially from the liquid metal which forms Brainiac 's body.

The most common form of Kryptonite. In superpowered Kryptonians, causes immediate physical pain and debilitation, reduces their powers, and kills within hours.
Except Superman's body according to Smallville can reject it before death as seen in the episode Void when Clark is injected by Kryptonite. Created from Green Kryptonite that passed through a mysterious red-hued cloud en route to Earth. Red Kryptonite inflicts one of a variety of odd effects on Kryptonians, typically creating an initial "tingling effect" in those affected.
No two chunks of Red Kryptonite have the same effect. Red Kryptonite effects typically last for hours though sometimes as long as 72 , after which the Kryptonian in question is always immune to that specific chunk of Red Kryptonite. Superman has suffered the following effects upon exposure to various pieces of Red Kryptonite: being turned into a dragon, a non-powered giant, a dwarf, an ant-headed humanoid, a lunatic, and an amnesiac; being made unable to see anything colored green; growing incredibly long hair, nails, and beard; being rendered totally powerless; growing fat; gaining the ability to read thoughts; losing his invulnerability along the left side of his body; being split into an evil Superman and a good Clark Kent; being rendered unable to speak or write anything but Kryptonian , the language used on Krypton; growing an extra set of arms; becoming clumsy when trying to help out; swapping bodies with the person nearest him upon exposure to it; rapidly aging; and multiple personality changes.
In post-Crisis continuity, Red Kryptonite first appeared as an artificial construct of Mr. Mxyzptlk ; a second variety was later revealed as a synthetic variant created by Ra's al Ghul, using notes he stole from Batman. The Red Kryptonite that Batman created causes Superman's powers to become uncontrollable, in this case it causes Superman's skin to become transparent allowing sunlight directly into his muscles and organs, requiring all his will not to explode with power.
On the TV series, Smallville , Red Kryptonite has a drug-like effect, causing severe changes in Clark Kent's personality, becoming rebellious, unpredictable and acting purely on erotic and selfish emotions.
Smallville Red Kryptonite also differs from the comics in that it affects Clark and presumably all Kryptonians only when it is in direct contact with his skin although a shirt pocket seems to be close enough in one episode. The time duration of the red K effects are unlimited so long as Clark remains in contact with the Kryptonite, but the effects are negated immediately once direct contact is broken.
It did not have to be in contact with Clark to have an effect - proximity was enough. The effects were slightly different, too - instead of Clark losing his inhibitions, he became apathetic. He simply did not care about catching criminals; instead shrugging his shoulders, blaming others and talking to a girl. It was prophesised that, given enough exposure to Red Kryptonite, Clark's condition would become permanent.
However, after talking to a psychiatrist, Clark was able to resist the effects of the Red Kryptonite, and he picked up the rock and threw it out of a window. In Krypto the Superdog , it has random effects, including temporary amnesia, losing all super powers, and body-swapping. Similar to traditional Red Kryptonite, each chunk's effect happens only once, and lasts 24 hours. Kills all plant life, whether Kryptonian or not.
Induces decay immediately upon exposure, with a range of about 25 yards. The most prominent use of this variety in the comics was to destroy Virus X, which was revealed in a storyline in 's Action Comics to actually be a form of plant life.
The result of using Professor Potter 's "duplicator ray" on some Green Kryptonite. Post-Crisis, Blue Kryptonite makes Bizarros become coherent, polite and goodhearted; it also alters Bizarros' distinctive grammar, so that a Bizarro would say "I am Bizarro" instead of "Me am not Bizarro".
Blue Kryptonite has been used in Superman video games as a life restorative. In it cancels out the powers of while in contact with their bodies.
Exposure 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.
Main article: Green Kryptonite. Easily the most abundant and the first discovered, the green variety of Kryptonite sapped Kryptonians of their strength provided by a yellow sun. They initially get flu-like symptoms and would quickly get weaker until death if not removed from the radiation. Humans can be adversely affected by the mineral's radiation as well with sufficient long-term exposure and it can be carcinogenic as a result.
Main article: Red Kryptonite. Red Kryptonite has unexpected consequences and what happens varies from exposure to exposure: turning into a dragon, excessive hair growth, gaining telepathy, etc. 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. Main article: Gold Kryptonite.
This rare form of the mineral would destroy a Kryptonian's ability to process yellow sunlight, thus permanently removing their superpowers. It was not otherwise harmful to Kryptonian life.
Main article: Blue Kryptonite. Has the same effect on Bizarros as Green Kryptonite does on normal Kryptonians. It's also an antidote to the effects of Red Kryptonite. Main article: White Kryptonite. Main article: Platinum Kryptonite. It was not actually Kryptonite, but a harmless yellow sphere as were the other types of Kryptonite he used. He hoped the that Superman would think that it was Kryptonite and thus hold back - which he did.
Luthor later learned it was not actually Superman he faced, but a Superman Robot. Main article: Black Kryptonite. Martha Kent placed a chunk of Black Kryptonite given to her by Dr.
Swann's assistant, Bridgette Crosby on his chest and the two personalities physically split. Clark then used the Black Kryptonite to eliminate Kal-El. In Supergirl Volume 4 79 , when Linda Danvers takes the original Kara Zor-El's place and arrives in the Pre-Crisis era, there is a comical scene where Superman is apparently exposed to Pink Kryptonite, with the implication that it temporarily turned him gay.
In an early appearance of Kryptonite Adventure Comics , the Kryptonite that appeared was purple, but it acted like green. Some speculate that purple may have been an incredibly rare version of Kryptonite that disappeared, but the chances of this are unlikely and it is most likely because of the writer's indecision over color, or a coloring error. Professor Hamilton coined this term to refer to the change that occurred to the Kryptonite that the Cyborg Superman blasted the Eradicator with when it passed through the latter and struck Superman.
Instead of being lethal, it restored Superman's powers. Unfortunately, it also apparently clung to him and caused him to absorb solar energy at a rapidly accelerated rate, eventually causing his powers to go out of control and his body to build more mass. Superman was purged of it after battling the Parasite.
