It was a mineral from the planet Krypton that drained Superman of his strength while giving superhuman powers to mortals. In Action Comics Annual #10 (March 2007), art by Art Adams and Alex SinclairĪn unpublished 1940 story titled " The K-Metal from Krypton", written by Superman creator Jerry Siegel, featured a prototype of kryptonite. The character Superman suffering from green kryptonite poisoning, courtesy of the villains Metallo and Titano the Super-Ape, Batman and Lex Luthor are two notable individuals who have pieces of kryptonite with them, with the former being trusted by Superman himself to stop Superman in case he goes rogue or does something out of the ordinary and the latter to ward off Superman's presence and at times incorporating it into weapons to try to kill him. Due to Superman's popularity, kryptonite has become a byword for an extraordinary exploitable weakness, synonymous with " Achilles' heel". There are other varieties of kryptonite, such as red and gold kryptonite, which have different but still generally negative effects on Superman. In its best-known form, it is a green, crystalline material originating from Superman's home world of Krypton that emits a unique radiation that weakens Superman, but is generally harmless to humans when exposed to it in the short term but deadly in the long term.
Kryptonite is a fictional material that appears primarily in Superman stories.
