10 Astonishing Facts About Kryptonite

There is a parallel universe called Earth 3 that is considered to be the opposite of the DC universe. In this reality, Abraham Lincoln was an assassin who killed President John Wilkes Booth. Christopher Columbus left the Americas and discovered Europe. Lex Luthor is the kindest and most charitable man in the world.

However, the most famous (or infamous) people of Earth 3 is The Crime Syndicate, an evil version of the Justice League. The team is composed of Ultraman, Owlman, Superwoman, Power Ring, Grid, and Quick. Since Ultraman is Superman's evil doppelgänger, Kryptonite doesn't kill him; it makes him stronger. He grinds up the Kryptonite and snorts it into his nose to ensure he is always at maximum power.

So if it doesn't kill Ultraman, how can he be beaten? Well, Superman draws his abilities from being exposed to a Yellow Sun like the one in our Solar System. Although this maintains Kryptonians' strength, it weakens Ultraman. To get around this inconvenience, he regularly adjusts the Moon’s position to block the Sun so he can be at full strength at all times.
