Comment on If I go crazy will you still call me Superman?

What I wonder: according to lore the conditions where supermans people life on krypton are so harsh that they are a strong race that is like humans under those conditions.

Now sth. With the sun is there too, but lets put that aside for a moment.

So Supermans weakness is a rock of krypton. Because the rock itself must be super radioactive or sth like that.

Anything that harms superman should kill every human in the area instantly.

Counterpoint: What if Superman has an element in his body that is crucial to his makeup that is specifically destroyed/harmed by the radioactivity, while that radioactivity passes harmlessly through any other element?An anti-krypton element of sorts, if you will.

Krypton, for example, could be emitting a wave with incredibly low amplitude, but incredibly high frequency. This combination would struggle to make contact with the atoms in normally-dense objects here on Earth, but would strike an ultra-dense object like anti-krypton like a truck.

  Theoretically possible, but doesn’t work with our current understanding of physics.
  
  However when you add aliens and other magic bs it doesn’t matter what physics say. So your explanation could actually work here.

    Hang on I can nerd this harder. It could sort of work if it’s a data signal that exists as noise which disrupts the nervous system of a Superman, but is ignored by the nervous system of a Human.
