Kryptonite

Kryptonite are debris from Krypton that became irradiated when the planet exploded. It’s one of the most notable weaknesses to Superman and other Kryptonians.
==Origins==
After Krypton exploded, the debris was irradiated. Some of it made it's way to Earth and has been used by various individuals.
==Known effects==
Kryptonite works instantaneously when in the presence of a superpowered Kryptonian. Exposure results in excruciating pain, along with loss of their powers and prolonged exposure is lethal. Kryptonite could also be turned into a liquid and injected into a Kryptonian to negate their powers.
Aside from this, Kryptonite doesn't have any immediate effects on humans, but prolonged exposure to humans will cause them to get ill, such as from cancer, etc.
The energy the kryptonite emits is near infinite and some people, including Lex Luthor utilize the energy from it to benefit his work. The only real defense against the material is to encase it in lead, which keeps the radiation from harming a Kryptonian further.
