Someone holding a chunk of Green Kryptonite.
Green Kryptonite is the most common form of Kryptonite known to exist. It generates radiations which have profound effects on Kryptonians and others.
Its radiation can be shielded by Lead.
Its actually blue on the outside but there is a yellow light on the inside when light hits it it glows there for it makes green.
Effect on Kryptonians[]
When in proximity to Green Kryptonite, Kryptonians have displayed loss of their superpowers; weakness; nausea; pain; their veins pop out and look dark, and their skin also begins to turn slightly green after long exposure. Prolongued exposure to Green Kryptonite is fatal to Kryptonians. With long term exposure can lead to death of any Kryptonian.
However, kryptonite radiation poisoning for Kryptonians is not cumulative; if a Kryptonian can be removed from such a radiation source, they will completely recover without lasting effect. That means they can survive multiple exposures without developing serious medical problems as a result of the accumulative effect of those exposures.
Effect on Humans[]
While Humans will at first seem unaffected by this strange radiation, it does have discernable effects. Under certain types of intense exposure, Humans may gain superpowers through the effects of Kryptonite. In some cases, this lasts only as long as the human is exposed to Kryptonite; in others, the human may gain permanent powers or mutations. This last category becomes known as Meteor Freaks.
Also, as in the case of Lex Luthor, who wore a kryptonite ring, prolongued exposure to a subtle amount of Kryptonite radiation may cause cancer. Lana Lang, who wore a Kryptonite necklace in Smallville, has not yet shown any signs of this, however.
Effect on Bizarros[]
In Smallville, Green Kryptonite is a source of power for Bizarros. In other versions, it has no effect on them.
