A Kryptonite Handbook for thems that don't know.
the gold kryptonite incident, 2025
silly idea is silly and very gay
How much for some Kryptonite? I'll take anything really. Pink, Gold, Red-Gold, Purple, any kryptonite you can send. Not blue though. no blue kryptonite.
I'll make some yellow even, seriously, just something!
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)
@kryptonite-week Day four Gold Kryptonite - Free space
This was my first pixel redraw where I tried stylizing it, which lost me a lot of the detail, but I still like it in an ugly sweater king of way.
Original panel (Action Comics #583) under the cut
Kryptonite is actually a living mineral. It was first discovered by ancient civilizations on Krypton and used as a power source. Much like Uranium, it sends out a radiation that can make one fall deathly ill, worse if they are kryptonian.
It being "living", that means it can reproduce on its own. Or rather, it is a renewable resource, which is how Lex has a whole vault of the stuff (and why Batman has to get a new contingency vault every 2 years). It also has modifiable genes, which were modified back in Krypton's golden age to make blue, red, pink, gold, and many other colored kryptonite. The technology that was used to do so was developed on Krypton which is now destroyed, so Lex can't hope to replicate the process.
Not even Brainiac is aware of what makes it live, and despite absorbing Krypton's libraries of knowledge, he has no clue of their origin either. Kryptonite is possibly the most mysterious mineral in the universes.
gold kryptonite can null a kryptonian's powers by removing the ability for them to process yellow sunlight. i guess.... thats an alternative?
What if Lena creates gold kryptonite by accident, and when she can’t determine what it does, decides to wear it as jewelry?
… that was actually intended as a joke, but now that I think about it that would be horrifically awful. Because Kara probably wouldn’t realize either, until she needed her powers and suddenly didn’t have them.
But on the other hand, if the world goes quiet when she’s around Lena, and it’s like she can focus on one thing for the first time in years and that one thing is Lena, and it’s like all the movies and books where two people make eye contact and they’re the only two people in the world, and Kara realizes she’s in love with Lena?
Thanks, I don’t know if I love or hate this.
