10 Things About Superman That Make No Sense

7. The MANY Different Types Of Kryptonite

Green Kryptonite is by far the most common type of Kryptonite, but it's also one of the most basic forms of the stuff. There's actually an excessive range of different types of Kryptonite that vary in the kind of effect that they have on Kryptonians, and even humans.

Despite this variation, however, the purpose for creating these different types of Kyrponite is not nearly as straightforward as the original's (which was to give Superman a weakness). It's curious, for example, as to what purpose Pink Kryptonite serves, other than to regurgitate offensive stereotypes about LGBTQ people.

Obviously having an OP Superman wouldn’t do, but it doesn’t mean either that there then has to be a million different types of Kryptonite to keep him down.
