I'm not sure if I'd count silver. In the comics, and as it turned out in Splinter, silver kryptonite was a hoax. In Splinter, it was a creation of Braniac's to *make* Clark paranoid.

[lozalauren]

yeah i suppose you couldn't count silver as one

[Nerial]

I thought white kryptonite killed Kryptonian plants. Not sure if that's correct, but...

Comics

The various known forms of kryptonite in the Superman comics include:

* Green Kryptonite: In superpowered Kryptonians, causes immediate physical pain and debilitation and kills within hours. Has no short-term effects on humans (though strictly in post-Crisis continuity, long-term exposure is apparently lethal to humans) or non-superpowered Kryptonians. In one early Silver Age story, Superboy built up immunity to specific chunks of Green Kryptonite through repeated non-fatal exposure, as seen in the story "The Great Kryptonite Mystery" (Superboy (1st series) #58, July 1957). The most common form of kryptonite.

* Red Kryptonite: Created from Green Kryptonite that passed through a mysterious red-hued cloud en route to Earth. Red Kryptonite inflicts random effects on Kryptonians, typically creating an initial "tingling effect" in those affected. Each specific chunk of Red Kryptonite has the same effect on all Kryptonians, but no two chunks have the same effect. Red Kryptonite effects typically last for 24–48 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 midget, an ant-headed humanoid, a lunatic, or an amnesiac; made unable to see anything colored green; growing incredibly long hair and beard; being rendered totally powerless; losing his invulnerability along the left side of his body; being split into an evil Superman and a good Clark Kent; rendered unable to speak or write anything but Kryptonese, the language used on Krypton; growing an extra set of arms; swapping bodies with the person nearest him upon exposure to it; and rapid aging. 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.

* Gold Kryptonite: Removes superpowers from Kryptonians permanently; however, in one story, a temporary antidote was developed that negated this effect for a short period of time. For obvious reasons, this variety was little used in Superman stories. It played key roles in both the 1982 miniseries "The Phantom Zone", and in the 1986 noncanon tale "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?" Additionally, it appeared briefly in the post-Crisis DC Universe, when Superman used it on a trio of Kryptonian criminals while visiting the Pocket Universe (Adventures of Superman #444, Superman (volume 2) #22). As cited in World's Finest Comics #159 (1966), Gold Kryptonite has an effective range of two feet.

* White Kryptonite: 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 White Kryptonite in the comics was to destroy Virus X, which was revealed in a storyline in 1968's Action Comics #362-366 to actually be a form of plant life.

* Blue Kryptonite: The result of using Professor Potter's "duplicator ray" on some Green Kryptonite. Blue Kryptonite kills Bizarros, but has no effect on Kryptonians or humans.

* Anti-Kryptonite: Has no effect on superpowered Kryptonians, but has the same effects as Green Kryptonite on non-superpowered Kryptonians. This version of kryptonite is what killed most of the residents of Argo City in the pre-Crisis comics. It was likely introduced to cover a writer error, as the original Argo City story does not call it Anti-Kryptonite. Post-Crisis, it is the power source of Ultraman, Superman's evil counterpart who lives in an alternate antimatter universe.

* X-Kryptonite: Created by Supergirl while experimenting with Green Kryptonite in hopes of finding an antidote. It has no effect on Kryptonians, but bestows temporary superpowers on Earth lifeforms, most prominently Supergirl's pet cat, Streaky. Not to be confused with Kryptonite-X.

* Jewel Kryptonite: Jewel Kryptonite amplifies the psychic powers of Phantom Zone residents, allowing them to project illusions into the "real world" or perform mind control. It was made from what was left of a mountain range on Krypton called the Jewel Mountains. (It is shown in one comic story to be used by Zod and Ursa outside the Zone in the "real" world as well, to blow up the piece they had and transport themselves back to the Phantom Zone. So it is probable that any Kryptonian can make use of Jewel Kryptonite as long as they are in close proximity to it.)

* Slow Kryptonite: A modified variety of Green Kryptonite produced by a Terran scientist that decelerates the speed of nerve impulses and movements of both Kryptonians and Terrans. Appeared in The Brave and the Bold #177.

* Purple Kryptonite: Gives Kryptonians mental/psychic powers, allowing them to create matter out of thin air. This effect only lasts 12–24 hours and all matter created disappears with the powers.

* Magno-Kryptonite: A piece of kryptonite that is magnetically attracted to all substances originally from Krypton, according to Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #91.

* Bizarro Red Kryptonite: Affects humans the same way Red Kryptonite affects Kryptonians. Appeared in Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #80.

* Pink Kryptonite: From an alternate timeline in a 2003 Supergirl storyline by Peter David, this variety of kryptonite apparently turned heterosexual Kryptonians into homosexuals; it was seen in just one panel, with Superman giving flattering compliments to Jimmy Olsen about his wardrobe and decorative sense. It spoofs the many varieties of kryptonite introduced over the years, as well as the more "innocent times" of the Silver Age (Lois Lane is depicted in this story as not understanding what's gotten into Superman). This version of kryptonite has not been used in mainstream comics continuity.

* Kryptonite-X or Kryptisium: A form of filtered/purified kryptonite. Professor Emil Hamilton used the term "Kryptonite-X" (The Adventures of Superman #511, April 1994, page 13) to describe the substance that restored Superman's powers after a confrontation with the villain known as the Cyborg Superman in Engine City (Superman (volume 2) #82, part of the "Return of Superman" storyline). This substance was created when the Cyborg used a huge chunk of kryptonite in an attempt to finally kill the weak, powerless, recovering Superman. The Eradicator, who had fashioned a faux-Kryptonian body using a Kryptonian matrix, jumped in front of Superman before the release of the kryptonite energy could kill him. Despite the Eradicator's efforts, the kryptonite energy hit Superman, but instead of killing him, it transferred all of the characteristic Kryptonian powers from the Eradicator to Superman, as well as saturating Superman's body with a purified/filtered form of kryptonite. This substance eventually led to Superman becoming an over-muscled giant, due to his accelerated sunlight absorption and overstorage of energy. This kryptonite is not to be confused with X-Kryptonite.

* Black Kryptonite: Black Kryptonite was first introduced in the Smallville television series, in the fourth season premiere episode "Crusade," as kryptonite with the potential capacity to split a person or a person's personality into two separate entities. It later made its first appearance in a DC comic in September 2005's Supergirl #2, where it apparently possessed the same abilities. In Supergirl #3, Luthor used Black Kryptonite on Supergirl, which caused her to split into two separate people, one wearing Supergirl's traditional costume, and another wearing a black-and-white version. Her black-and-white costume is similar to the one that Superman was wearing when he returned from the dead.

[edit]

Simulated kryptonite

* Green Lantern Corps rings can be used to emit simulated Green Kryptonite radiation. This radiation is apparently just as powerful and painful to Superman and other Kryptonians as the genuine rays.

* Synthetic kryptonite (usually the green or red variety) has been successfully produced by Lex Luthor, Batman, and Ra's al Ghul in the comics. It has proven to be less powerful than genuine kryptonite, to be extrememly difficult to create, and to have a short half life that renders it useless after a short period of time.

* Magic: Users adept at the use of magic may be able to create kryptonite, such as Mr. Mxyzptlk did in the "Krisis of the Krimson Kryptonite" storyline (though his version of Red Kryptonite differed from the traditional version in its workings).

[edit]

Hoaxes

In the comics, several varieties of kryptonite that turned out to be hoaxes include:

* Silver Kryptonite: A fictional variety of kryptonite that was used in a hoax perpetrated by Superman's friends, in honor of the 25th (or "silver") anniversary of Superman's arrival on Earth. (For the Silver Kryptonite created by Brainiac in the television series Smallville, see below.)

* Yellow Kryptonite: Another fictional variety, this one was used in a hoax masterminded by Lex Luthor.

Posted by kf6tac:An even better question yet is, "How many of these craptacular forms of Kryptonite is Smallville going to drag into its re-envisioning of the Superman origin?" Lol! True. Sorry, Superman but some of them just sound ridiculous but then taken out of context.... hehe. I'm surprised that no one has picked up the slack in the Fan Fiction section and written a 'Pink' Kryptonite Clex story yet. Give it time, ;)

[devoted2clark]

pink kryptonite thats awsome!!!

[kal-el1513]

Gold kryptonite doesnt make sense to me. you cant take a way a kryptonians powers because they are a result of thier alien body. But heck, maybe the gold k does something that permanetly blocks their cells ability to take in the suns energy and the ability to defy earths gravity. So i guess there are ways. imagine if gold k was used on superman. that would not be good. i am sure that not shortly afterwards a new type of k would be found to restore his powers. how about a really dark green k.

[Jersey Girl]

wow.....they just keep dragging on

i never thought there was that much kryptonite....lol

[Clark 32]

I have really dark green Kryptonite in Superman 3 movie I think where ikt made Superman evil and bad for a time , and when it worn off he cleaned up the mess he made when he was under the influence of the Dark green Kryptonite , I mean kf6tac made a point on how many Kryptonites are they going to cover in the up coming seasons ?

[galatians221]

I expect that pink Kryptonite would cause Clark to want to redecorate the barn. It seems as if there is a color of kryptonite for every color of the rainbow and beyond. Does it never end? Does blue Kryptonite cause depression?

[dru-zod2501]

there's no purple K, orange K, gray K, magenta K, fuschia K, brown K, white K

[Jawth]

Pink K makes straight Kryptonians turn gay for the duration that it's within their vicinity.

Green K is lethal.

Blue K on Smallville takes away Clark's powers (in the comics, it does the same thing to Bizarro Green does to Clark only makes him a genius too). Gold Kryptonite does the same thing that blue did in the comics.

Red K on Smallville takes away all inhabitions (in the comics, it causes random transformation to occur like turning his head into a giant ant head or making his skin transparent).

Silver K makes him paranoid.

Then there was a kind of Kryptonite that got Superman very stoned, but I don't remember the color. I want to say white.

[kp1984]

I see your not the only one who thought that. I thought blue K would cause depression to but it depowers him. I don't belive there's a yellow K yet.

[Tompouce]

I was here to speak about the yellow K but it is already done. Orange and yellow K to make people happy would be perfect !

[Ray Man]

I thought that there WAS White Krytonite, but only after Lana or Bizarro sucked it all out of the Green K rock? :confused:

To nitpick, Blue K removes powers while the wearer is near it. But Gold Kryptonite is supposed to remove Kryptonian powers permanently.

White kryptonite kills plant life. Black Kryptonite can either split people into or split their personality into two. I remember reading that Darkseid also used Black K to brainwash Supergirl to be one of his female furies as well.

According to Kryptonite Man Gold K is now temporary. He makes special note of this before he caused the Phantom Criminals to fall to their deaths during the Last Son storyline.

I did forget about Black, thanks.

Which stories does White Kryptonite appear? I'm curious.

Ah okay. I am not sure, I just have read about White Kryptonite online. Although it says on that page:
"The most prominent use of this variety in the comics was to destroy Virus X, which was revealed in a storyline in 1968's Action Comics #362-366 to actually be a form of plant life."

Hell yes! Bring it! :cool:
only if they bring kara back and we get karois.

[super_j_man]

I was under the impression that the silver K we saw in Splinter wasn't really kryptonite at all but rather a normal rock that Brainiac altered to look like it could be a form of kryptonite. Could someone help clarify this for me?

[Vergon6]

Correct. Silver kryptonite was synthetic. It appeared to be Black K mixed with something with Brainiac. Although you could debate that Black K is synthetic as well, or at least that it could be synthetically created by heating Green K.

[xrayvision]

I don't even think that was black-k that was mixed in with Brainiac. I think it was some regular rock. Otherwise, wouldn't it had some effect on Clark? It didn't look shiny like black-k. It didn't seem to have a luster.

[skully]

I see your not the only one who thought that. I thought blue K would cause depression to but it depowers him. I don't belive there's a yellow K yet.We MUST have yellow (or gold) K to allow an episode to be titled "Yellow". This would cover the entire alphabet in letters that start episode titles. We still have not had a "Y". :D

[Vergon6]

You could be right about that. I just assumed I guess.

Yup. It was like a lump of coal with silver veins in it.

I believe Yellow is the 5th or 6th episode in my fanfic season 7 that I started 2 years ago. I have it all planned out as I have the rest of the season. Very big things are supposed to happen.

[super_j_man]

Thanks for the clarification guys. I don't why, but sometimes it just bugs me when people talk about Silver K like it's a real type of kryptonite.

[krpto]

Does the characters themselves know silver k wasn't real kryptonite just a rock with part of brainiac on it so brainiac could make clark crazy then save him from the silver k so he would have clarks trust or do they think it was a real kryptonite just rare and it randomly effected clark and braniac just used it to gain clark's trust? thats the question the audience saw brainiac turn thr silver k back into a regular rock but none of the other characters did. So in the show itself everyone beleaves silver k to be a real though rare form of kryptonite.

In "Hypnotic", Chloe talked about Clark's strange behavior and mentioned that if he was effected by Red K, he wouldn't be working and if he was effected by Silver K, he'd become paranoid. So, I'm guessing that they believe that Silver K was actual kryptonite.

[Exedore]

The Orb could turn out to be Jewel Kryptonite from the looks of it. Although I hope it's the Eradicator.

I read a comic from the late 60's or early 70's that involed white K. I think Superman

was poisioned by some type of plant from Krypton and had died. Earth put Superman

in a rocket and sent his body on an endless journey through the universe.

Eventually the rocket got close to the cube shaped Bizzarro world. 5 or 6 Bizzarro

Supermen had been waiting for the rocket to pass by their world. They flew close to

the rocket and threw white K rocks at it to mock Superman's death. The white K

destroyed the poision in his body. Later Superman broke out of the rocket and flew

back to earth.

[Estro-gen X]

I wonder what the effect of plaid kryptonite would be? now thats a legion story in the making, 'The menace of Plaid Lad'

Green Kryptonite hurts Clark by making his blood boil.
Red Kryptonite strips Clark of all his inhibitions- he basically says and does whatever he wants without caring about the consequences.
Blue Kryptonite strips Clark of his abilities, but only when he's around it. The effect isn't permanent.
Black Kryptonite splits Clark into two different personalities.
Gold Kryptonite also strips Clark of his abilities, but unlike BlueK, it's permanent.
