Kryptonite is much worse than Superman thought.
One theory regarding Superman's vulnerability to kryptonite makes his infamous Achilles' heel much more dark. An iconic villain suggests there's more to the Man of Steel's greatest weakness than mere radiation.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Superman is one of the most powerful heroes in the DC Universe, but even someone as strong as him has his weak spots. Despite Clark's godlike power, the hero can be easily weakened by just a small sliver of kryptonite, aka pieces of his home world, Krypton. There are several versions of kryptonite, each with its own deadly twist.
Kryptonite Harms Superman Because it Channels the Screams of Krypton In Adventures of Superman #32 by Jim Krueger and Neil Edwards, a Green Lantern has come to Earth desperate for Superman to kill him. This Green Lantern reveals that Krypton was once under his jurisdiction, and his guilt from failing to save the planet has been eating the Corps member alive. Superman, naturally, refuses to harm the Green Lantern, causing him to lash out with violence.
It seems dubious that kryptonite causes Superman pain via sound waves rather than radiation. But there is a kind of logic to the theory. After all, Superman has been exposed to radiation numerous times from nuclear bombs but kryptonite is the only thing that exudes radiation that manages to bring Clark to death's door. While it's just a theory that Brainiac posits, it would explain why kryptonite weakens Superman so much compared to other radioactive sources.
Superman Relives Krypton's Death with Kryptonite Exposure If Brainiac is correct and kryptonite does channel the screams of millions of Kryptonians, then Superman is reliving the greatest tragedy in his life every time a villain exploits his weakness. What makes things worse is that Clark has no memory of Krypton's explosion since he was just an infant at the time.
