## **Origins**

Kryptonite is the irradiated rock fragments from the planet Krypton, scattered into space when it exploded. The rock was imbued with radiation in the last days of the planet, when the core became unstable.

## **Variations**

### **Effects of Green Kryptonite (Common):**

Green Kryponite or Green "K" is the most common form of Kryptonite.

* **Kryptonians:** Exposure to causes a Kryptonian's cells to absorb high amounts of radiation, cancelling out the effect of the Yellow Sun radiation, removing their enhanced abilities. Prolonged exposure can prove fatal.
* **Half-Kryptonians:** Exposure causes solar energy to be sapped, but to prove fatal, a Half-Kryptonian must be exposed for longer periods of time than a regular Kryptonian.
* **Bizarro Clone:** No effect.
* **Humans:** Due to the large amounts of radiation emitted from the rock, Humans can developed radiation sickness if exposed for too long, however for this to occur, they must be exposed for significantly longer than a Kryptonian.

### **Effects of Blue Kryptonite (Uncommon):**

Blue Kryptonite or 'Bizarro' Kryptonite is a form of Green Kryptonite that has undergone the ''Bizarro treatment''. It is the opposite of Green Kryptonite, with a reverse ionic charge.

* **Kryptonians:** Exposure to Blue Kryptonite, reverses the effects of Red Kryptonite.
* **Half-Kryptonians:** Exposure to Blue Kryptonite, reverses the effects of Red Kryptonite.
* **Bizarro Clones:** Exposure causes the solar energy to be sapped from a Bizarro Clones cells, removing their enhanced abilities. Prolonged exposure can prove fatal.
* **Humans:** No effect.

### **Effects of Red Kryptonite (Rare):**

Red Kryptonite was created when a mass of Green Kryptonite landed on Saturn. It was used in the creation of the Saturnians and imbued with small levels of Martian mind manipulation abilities. The rock became waste on Saturn and was brought to Earth via Zeta-Beam during the Zeta testing at Star Labs in 2009.

* **Kryptonians:** The mental manipulation abilities imbued in Red Kryptonite removes the inhibitions of Kryptonian, essentially making them shameless. When exposed, they become reckless and give in to their immediate urges, regardless of the consequences.
* **Half-Kryptonians:** Red Kryptonite has the same effect upon Half-Kryptonians as it does on regular Kryptonians, the only difference is that it takes longer to cause any noticeable changes.
* **Bizarro Clones:** Exposure to Red Kryptonite has no visible effect upon a Bizarro Clone, as they act upon impulses regardless.
* **Humans:** Much like the Kryptonians and Half-Kryptonians, Red Kryptonite alters their personality, but it takes significantly longer to take hold.

### **Effects of Gold Kryptonite (Very Rare):**

Gold Kryptonite is created through exposing Green Kryptonite to intense nuclear radiation.

* **Kryptonians:** Exposure to Gold Kryptonite can permanently rob Kryptonians of their enhanced abilities.
* **Half-Kryptonians:** Gold Kryptonite, much like with Kryptonians, can rob Half-Kryptonians of their powers, but due to them being half human, it takes less time to take full effect.
* **Bizarro Clones:** Exposure to Gold Kryptonite can permanently rob Bizarro Clones of their enhanced abililities.
* **Humans:** No effect.

### **Effects of Pink Kryptonite (Extremely Rare):**

Pink Kryptonite is a form of Kryptonite created by Mr Mxyzptlk.

* **Kryptonians:** Exposure to Pink Kryptonite causes gender reversal.
* **Half-Kryptonians:** Exposure to Pink Kryptonite causes gender reversal.
* **Bizarro:** Exposure to Pink Kryptonite causes gender reversal.
* **Humans:** Exposure to Pink Kryptonite causes gender reversal.
