📖 Key Information

# Kryptonite **Kryptonite** is a fictional mineral appearing primarily in stories published by **DC Comics**, specifically within the *Superman* mythos. It is iconic as the primary physical weakness of Superman and other Kryptonian characters. ### Origins and Properties Kryptonite consists of the radioactive remnants of the planet **Krypton**, Superman's home world. While it exists in various forms and colors, the most prevalent variety is the **Green Kryptonite** crystal. ### Effects on Kryptonians The mineral emits a unique form of high-frequency radiation that is lethal to inhabitants of Krypton. Exposure typically results in: * **Immediate Debilitation:** Sudden physical weakness and loss of superhuman abilities. * **Acute Toxicity:** Severe pain, nausea, and green-tinted discoloration of the veins. * **Fatality:** Prolonged exposure leads to systematic organ failure and death. ### Limitations and Conductivity Kryptonite radiation is highly penetrative and can be transmitted through almost any substance. Its only known effective shield is **lead**, which is dense enough to block the radiation entirely, providing a safe harbor for Kryptonians and a means for others to handle the material safely.
