    Doesn’t even need to be a magic rock. A regular one thrown at your head also does wonders.

      Shit, even a crack rock can do it.

      In fairness, Doomsday beat Superman in a straight knuckle dust up, no kryptonite required. So that’s also a Superman weakness.

    In Superman The Animated Series Batman (and the Joker) discover that a jade dragon is actually made out of kryptonite because the owners die after a few months.

    And in some of the stories Lex Luthor loses his hair because of his kryptonite experiments.

    So at least in those universes it’s also harmful for humans.

      And in some of the stories Lex Luthor loses his hair because of his kryptonite experiments.

      In Smallville, the spacecraft carrying Superman brings a kryptonite meteor swarm with it. Lex’s exposure to the meteors is the cause of his premature baldness and a partial reason for his resentment of The Alien.

      And in some of the stories Lex Luthor loses his hair because of his kryptonite experiments.

      In the mainline comics of the ‘80s and ‘90s, wearing a kryptonite ring day after day gave him incurable cancer.

      Lex and Superboy are friends until Lex starts and gets caught in a chemical smoke party, which Superboy blows out with his super breath. In the process, he blows smoke into Lex Luthor’s hair, which falls out. Then Lex swears to, “use all of my scientific genius to one day destroy you.”

      It’s so strange that nobody did a good music video for that song with scenes from Man of Steel. I always thought that one would fit great. There’s a Smallville one but I don’t like it very much.

    If we’re talking pure elements at room temperature, people can die from extended contact/eating/breathing beryllium, fluorine, phosphorous, hlorine, chromium, cobalt, arsenic, cadmium, antimony, cesium, mercury, thallium, lead, bismuth, polonium, radium, thorium, uranium, plutonium, and americium. That doesn’t even count all of the heavier than air gases that will kill you in a couple of deep breaths. People are very squishy and prone to getting injured by things.

    Anything solid of decent mass can basically do us in. A glass bottle with an I love Kitty logo on it at 70mph right to the skull for example. So yeah, a rock, so long as it is large enough, could do it.

    I don’t understand. The point isn’t that we are not vulnerable to something similar, it’s that Superman is nearly invulnerable. So, my brother in Christ, this is not a retort.

      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.

        Must be super radioactive…

        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.

      Arsenic and mercury, both commonly occurring metals present in rocks, can kill humans immediately. Especially if vaporized. Uranium can kill and disable quickly in high enough concentrations.

      Also, keep in mind it’s a plot device about a fictional flying space alien with laser eyes. It doesn’t need to follow the laws of physics.
