    Kryptonite QOTD
    Question Of The Day

    Major Spoilers Question of the Day: Kryptonite Edition

    Matthew PetersonBy Matthew PetersonFebruary 18, 20215 Comments1 Min Read

    Everybody knows about green Kryptonite, the substance that can sap the power from Kryptonian cells, but did you know about the other varieties?  Red K causes strange transformations, while Gold takes away a Kryptonians powers forever.  Blue effects only Bizarros, while white targets ALL planet life.  Platinum empowers humans with permanent Kryptonian powers, while black is only seen in the world of ‘Smallville’, acting much like red.  Silver and yellow Kryptonite don’t actually exist, at least in the original continuity, while pink K was used for an offensive gay joke, leading to today’s radioactive query…

    The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) reminds Faithful Spoilerites that there’s even a purple spotted Kryptonite, which makes Kryptonian canines chase their own tails, asking: Which variety of Kryptonite is the most interesting?

    Once upon a time, there was a young nerd from the Midwest, who loved Matter-Eater Lad and the McKenzie Brothers... If pop culture were a maze, Matthew would be the Minotaur at its center. Were it a mall, he'd be the Food Court. Were it a parking lot, he’d be the distant Cart Corral where the weird kids gather to smoke, but that’s not important right now... Matthew enjoys body surfing (so long as the bodies are fresh), writing in the third person, and dark-eyed women. Amongst his weaponry are such diverse elements as: Fear! Surprise! Ruthless efficiency! An almost fanatical devotion to pop culture! And a nice red uniform.

      Pink kryptonite because it shows how ignorant people were / are in their understanding of gender. Yay, humans!

        pink kryptonite, with the power to expose true human nature!

        i’m not the biggest Superman fan, but i know black kryptonite was also in All-Star Superman, where it basically turned Supes into Bizarro.

      The kind of K with a tar content that makes Supes a mean drunk.
