Superman Unlimited #4

[superfangirl1]

So Kryptonite is being use as cosmetic make up products and jewelry . What is next? Kryptonite be for spices in food products?

Or next there will be Kryptonite gum for extra, extra, extra minty freshness? As a matter Bruce first thought of that idea. I am sure Bruce patented it.

It brings out a question of that Lex luthor find out the hard way in the past, with his Kryptonite ring. Whicj cause him to get cancer. Lex learns that Kryptonite is still poisonous to humans. It just affects human very slowly than it affects Kryptonians.

So what happens. If somebody buys an kryptonite product and they get cancer afterwards. Will they try sue Superman for getting it? Blaming him for it?

...so...has the whole "Kryptonite can hurt everyone, it just takes a much longer time for humans" thing no longer the case? Retconned out?

Was that a thing in the comics? I know you would get the Jitters in Smallville, cancer with convulsions of strength and speed to the point you could put someone through a wall or snap your own neck. And DCAU Lex got cancer from carrying a piece in his pocket for years.

In the late 80s early 90s comics. Lex use a kryptonite ring to keep Superman at bay. Luthor first acquired the Kryptonite by kidnapping the villain Metallo, who was powered by a Kryptonite heart.

The constant exposure to the ring eventually caused Luthor to develop cancer, which led to him losing his hand and ultimately having to transfer his consciousness into a clone.

Then someone from Lex corporation stole the kryptonite ring. Batman investigate and inquired the kryptonite ring afterwards. Bruce was gonna give it to Superman in a lead box. But Superman told Batman to keep it.

It looks like no, kryptonite is still radioactive and potentially dangerous to humans. Previous issues had the president of El Caldero hiring Toyman to develop kryptonite shielding.

The kryptonite lipstick was probably because the lady is an idiot influencer. Superman had to save her because she was standing on a table and fell off a building.
