Why does Kryptonite weaken Superman?
In My Adventures with Superman, there is one element that will soon be included without a doubt in the mix – the infamous alien-based substance known as Kryptonite. But what is Kryptonite, and how does it weaken our indestructible hero?
First, let’s know what kryptonite is. Kryptonite is an alien element (or maybe a compound) that was produced from the explosion of Superman’s home planet, Krypton. So why would Superman become weak from rocks that originated from his home planet? It can be assumed that the explosion of his planet was a radioactive explosion causing the rocks of planet Krypton to carry high amounts of radioactivity, particularly affecting its inhabitants. Afterall, planet Krypton is the home of the strongest beings in the universe, it won’t be a surprise if what destroyed the planet would affect Superman as well. Therefore, it’s safe to assume that the radioactivity of Kryptonite is what affects Superman.
Furthermore, it’s important to bear in mind that Superman is an alien, and his physiology responds distinctively to various substances. One might wonder if Superman can be weakened by radioactivity from nuclear waste on Earth. The answer, in this case, is no. The radiation emitted by Kryptonite differs significantly from the types observed on our planet, displaying a unique and accelerated Kryptonian radioactive decay that doesn’t affect us humans, but affects Kryptonians like Superman.
These theories offer plausible explanations for how an innocuous glowing green rock can undermine the mightiest hero of DC Comics.
