10 Types Of Kryptonite (Other Than Green) That You Need To Know About

1. Pink Kryptonite

Red Kryptonite
DC Comics

Pink Kryptonite has to be the most ridiculous of all Superman’s homeward geology, and if nothing else, serves as a grim reminder that comic books were still pulling this sort of thing just a little over a decade ago. The pink rock has made only one appearance in the DC universe, in Jeph Loeb's Supergirl, when the Man of Steel is exposed to the mineral before becoming 'temporarily' gay.

For a comic written in 2003, Kryptonite that can change sexual-orientation sounds like a premise written decades ago. It was designed to be a satire on the hero’s Silver Age storylines featuring new types of kryptonite but the idea just felt absurd, inappropriate, and more than a little distasteful all at once.

Safe to say that this is definitely one mineral that won't be making a comeback anytime soon.
