#black kryptonite

[markhenzel]

This is my pitch of concept idea for Krypton movie (if there's any) with some of my own twists and versions.

Setting and Characters: It's evolved around the story taking place in New Krypton before the destruction. The characters consist of Jor-El, Lara Lor-Van (Superman's mom), Brainiac, General Zod, Zor-El and Alura In-Ze (Supergirl's parents) and Kara Zor El as well as Tomar-Re, Green Lantern cop responsible taking care of Krypton.

Concept Ideas: 1) It start with Jor El on a trial witness by everyone on New Krypton (like the scene of Hari Seldom from Foundation series) on base of accusing Brainiac as a fraud and a liar. Jor El shows evidence of ancient books made by ancient Kryptonian he found stating that Kryptonian have the abilities to fly, superspeed and super strength, laser beam, cold breath etc but somehow lost their abilities for unknown reasons that can only be explain by Brainiac. Brainiac is immortal being from planet Colu fallen from the sky way back in Ancient Krypton and seen as an angel by Kryptonian where their civilization thrived with his modern technology with his guidance and all sources of history and knowledge cited by him instead of Kryptonian keeping it themselves. But the case against Brainiac has been dismissed for Brainiac side by the Krypton Councilmen.

2) There's also idea General Zod and Jor El would create a coup d'etat against the Krypton Councilmen and Brainiac only to be defeat and broken by Tomar-Re, Green Lantern assigned to protect Krypton. Jor El and Zod would have imprisoned as treason in prison facility lighted with Green Kryptonite. At one point, they break out and head to Ancient Krypton where they would discover their ancient powers after being hit with yellow sun on that planet. They also find that millennium ago via drawing and sculpture on the wall, Brainiac landed on this planet from planet Colu, kidnapped one of the Kryptonian to be an experiment thus creating Doomsday. This explain why the planet is unhabitable in the first place and why Kryptonian left the planet to live in New Krypton at expense of their power since New Krypton only has red sun. Over the years, Brainiac makes himself some kind of angel to Kryptonian since they had to adapt to new environment and has changed some history event to teach the new generation. All powerful Kryptonian in the past becomes fiction and myth.

3) Another idea is the existence of Kryptonite in New Krypton. Green Kryptonite is used as weapon like laser gun that shoots green beam that able to kill Kryptonian and also place in every lightbulb in Krypton as security measures implement by Brainiac centuries ago. Kryptonian wears Gold Kryptonite as jewelry and accessories for fashion without any knowledge that Gold Kryptonite absorbing sun from giving Kryptonian powers. Brainiac also has Pink Kryptonite all over his robes as accessories which have power to pursue anyone into his own will (Jor El also known and did went to trial to show everyone about this discovery only to be reject and debunk.) Red Kryptonite would be used by Brainiac to create Doomsday and also human experiment since Red Kryptonite are unstable for causing bizarre physical mutations.

4) Tomar-Re would have bigger roles as protector of Krypton. He would have working under Krypton government, saving people just like Superman on Earth and beats Jor El and General Zod's coup d'etat before fights against Brainiac and his cyborg. He would be the one using all his will power to protect the Krypton core with his Green Lantern ring all by himself to stabilize the planet before died. Brainiac sees him as competitor for the love of Kryptonian and harbours jealousy.

5) After almost losing love of people from Krypton, Brainiac uses pregnant Lara Lor-Van to take all his accusations to Brainiac and points it all to General Zod and his followers. In the end, Jor El makes a deal with Brainiac to leave the planet in exile with his family in exchange for his silence but when second coup d'etat happens, Brainiac only creates a small pod enough for a baby, Kal El. I like the twist that the rest Jor El only creates ship small enough for a baby is because he never did create it and it was all Brainiac as some kind of sick revenge. And I find it interesting that instead of classic story where Jor El warns the people of Krypton that their planet is dying, Jor El tries to expose Brainiac as a fraud which his action lead to the actual destruction of Krypton which if he just let go, the planet would still live but under the utopia lies by Brainiac. Anyway, Jor El keeps his memory as hologram and redirects the ship to Earth.

6) General Zod was betrayed by Jor El, sent to a special facility where criminals in Krypton will be exposed with Black Kryptonite which separate good and evil side. And somehow a fight happened between Zods and the authority which the good side of General Zod died leaving the evil version left to lead the army for a second coup d'etat. General Zod would have leftover of power he got from Ancient Krypton's yellow sun and proves to everyone Brainiac has lied to them by flying and laser his way to Brainiac in city of Kandor.

7) Brainiac finally snaps during General Zod's coup d'etat, decides Kryptonian are no longer matters, gets into his skull shaped ship and shoots beam straight to Krypton core after he shrinks city of Kandor and it's people as souvenir to memorialize. I honestly don't know where to put Zor-El and Alura In-Ze, Supergirl's parents into the story but according to comics, they would help Kara Zor El into the ship and perhaps somehow Kara would have her dog, Krypto and her horse, Comet that can fly. I don't know. Maybe Kara was somewhere far while the planet getting destroy and her parents did the same deal so she just racing to the pod with her horse and dog but when she arrives, her parents' pod destroy in all carnage and they just put her in the remaining pod. So anyway, General Zod loses all his powers and all his soldiers and himself are imprisoned into Phantom Zone by Brainiac.

Updated Superman Mythos Changes part 2

The Kryptonians aboard the Argos were enslaved and used as Gladiators and glorified fighting dogs for Mongul and the other rulers of Warworld when they realized their radiotrophic capabilities (yes this does eventually lead to The Warworld storyline and Osul and Otho Ra, and honestly I feel like it gives more of a reason for Mongul to be a Superman villain)

back to Earth, Clark eventually ends up in a romantic relationship (and eventually marriage) with Lois AND Jimmy

much like in MAWSM, Lois is Korean and Jimmy is Black

Kryptonians all have traits one would associate with The Autism Spectrum, so much so that Clark was diagnosed as such after being adopted by The Kents

Yes this does mean Clark was in Special Education for most of his life, and that's actually how he knows Lana Lang

nearly all Kryptonians could be called "Ethnically Ambiguous" based on their appearance

Kryptonian hair and eyes are almost always the same color, (though the former is obviously a much duller shade) and their eyes are usually Monochromatic (like the eyes of Tamaraneans in the 2003 Teen Titans series, or in Clark's Case the eyes of The Fremen in Dune)

Lex Luthor gives off more arrogant douchebag techbro vibes

Clark is more of a vigilante and more willing to break the law to get things done (actually that's an understatement, his main non supervillain targets are CEOs, crooked cops, corrupt politicians, hate groups etc.)

Krypto wasn't Clark's dog on Krypton, rather he was basically a labrat for Phantom Zone experimentation ages ago, and since the FTL drive on Clark's ship was based on The Phantom Zone, it ended up taking Krypto with him to Earth, at which point the beast became attached to him and became his sort of guardian angel

also Krypto looks less dog-like, a bit more wolf-like but a lot more alien

Kryptonians hatch from eggs and don't have mammary glands

Livewire was an alt-lite (or just straight up alt-right) podcaster like Lauren Southern that tried to make Superman look bad for all the same reasons those types try to make anyone look bad

Lobo is Death The Wolf's alcoholic unkempt pervert brother (in appearance and personality I mean)

Chris Kent exists again and has fairly similar origins to his original outing

Dru Zod and his lackeys (Fao Ra, Non Ek and Jax Ur Sa) “The Swords of Rao” were one of many small counter revolutionary groups that attempted to reinstate the old order after the Kryptonian Revolution, but were sold out by one of their own members, and Clark’s ancestor named Kru El (not because his colleagues were literal Fascists and he had a change of heart, but for his own self serving reasons) which is why he hates Clark so much

Jax Ur Sa is Dru’s daughter and Chris’ older biological half sister

Chris (then Lor Dru Zod) was mentally and physically abused by his father, mother (Fao Ra) and Half Sister, but when he left the phantom zone with no memory of them, he was greeted by something he could’ve never expected, a loving family

Clark’s has other adopted kids but they’re still kind of WIP

 There are multiple types of Kryptonite, each with different effects which are the following

Green (glass based) poisonous to Kryptonians

Blue (Metal based) Negates a Kryptonian’s bioelectric aura (and as such their powers

White Kryptonite (Crystal based) no effect on Kryptonians, but it’s what most Kryptonian tech is made of (and is basically a Jesus material that can be manipulated by Kryptonians to do whatever)

Red Kryptonite (Gas based) Some kind of emotional drug or smth

Gold Kryptonite (Liquid based, like Mercury) Enhances Kryptonian abilities

Black Kryptonite (Rock based) used to access the phantom zone

the Kryptonite thing was heavily inspired by Oni18064, though I did have the idea with Gold and Blue Kryptonite before (but honestly I think that's just because it's a pretty easy conclusion to come to)

[jdn2k3]

Y’know something I loved about the cascading effects the Smallville tv show is that in creating its own spin on the mythos, it canonized some pretty cool stuff down the road.

One such thing being Black Kryptonite, which was a Smallville original creation. And now it’s like a main thing in the comics.

This means it can be used in other scenarios outside of the Superman story.

Imagine Bruce uses Black Kryptonite to finally help Harvey out of his Two-Face issue. Or at the end of it all, Lex gets Black K’d again and boom return of Good Lex. Return of the brotherly Clex. I’d like that, it warms my heart to think about it.

Black Kryptonite Superman

Exploration

Part Two

[momachan]

Dark Nights Metal: Dark Knights Rising.

[pasta-abomination]

soooooooooo rewatching 1x01 of Orphan Black and

We’re missing the Orphan Black take on Kryptonite.

all the Karas as split off from one Kara by Cadmus, who's been trying to corral their Kryptonian Shards ever since.

but like, black Kryptonite Kara as the original Kara Our Kara is one Kara, but she's not the only one; she's just the one that Kal found and took to the Danverses. And she thinks she's the only one. But she isn't. And she's not at full strength, either (or maybe she is; what's a Kryptonian Shard when exposed to the sun? They might as well be regular Kryptonians). So maybe there's eight or fourteen different parts of her, some of which Cadmus has found, but not all of them. There's Alex's Kara, but there's also red!K Kara, Astra's Kara. There's Alura's Kara. There's her father's Kara, the Worldkiller.

And there’s probably more, I just really need Melissa to do a version of that scene from Orphan Black 1x01 where Sarah's trying to become Beth for this One Last Con, and then she leans in towards the mirror and says "you're damn right" in a way that's not quite Beth, and her American accent isn't perfect, but you couldn't tell unless you knew it was a fucking show about clones who are all played by one single woman. (God Bless Tatiana Maslany. But also, if there’s anyone else out there who could pull that off, it’d be Melissa Benoist.)

Which Kryptonite do you think has the worst long term effect ?

[disquietiswhatitis]

There’s one anon I’ve seen making their way around the fandom, asking why Supergirl should have to apologize and/or why didn’t Lena apologize, etc., etc.

To that anon, I say this: if it’s something you still don’t really understand after at least three people have tried to explain it to you, then that’s okay. Keep asking. I hope you find peace of mind.

But if you’re just going around looking to start discourse or find someone who agrees with what should by now be pretty clear is an unpopular opinion (“Kara is perfect, Lena is more if not 100% at fault”) then please just stop. That’s not an accurate assessment of the situation, nor is it that black and white and the story is far from over.
