What is Kryptonite?
Kryptonite is a mineral that has the main effect of weakening (otherwise invulnerable) any Kryptonian.
And this mineral was created with the remains of the planet Krypton and there are many varieties of this mineral but the green itself is what weakens Superman, but is this the biggest weakness of Superman? Ask anyone about Superman’s weakness and the answer will be Kryptonite.
Has Kryptonite always existed as the weakness of the Man of Steel?
Let’s see, Superman’s first encounter with kryptonite didn’t happen in the comic book, it was introduced in the 1943 Superman radio series, both as a script element and to allow the actor playing Superman, Bud Collyer, to occasionally be able to rest. It took until 1949 for comic books to incorporate this idea, both as a convenient danger and weakness, and to add an interesting element to their stories.
Here I reveal Superman’s biggest weakness
Comic book fans should know every moment that Kryptonite was a big bump in Superman’s shoe but what makes me write this is that as much as they try to create weaknesses for Superman, he isn’t only vulnerable to magic but weak, read the stories of all the times Superman faced a villain or a character whose powers originate from magic, he took a good beating and was always defeated by magic users, even the character Skeleton the villain of He-Man beat Superman in a crossover.
But to the likes or dislikes of many the greatest weakness of the Man of Steel is most dangerous until Kryptonite is magic because Superman’s powers come from the yellow sun, Superman is like a battery that consumes the energy of the yellow sun that strengthens the powers. his cells, makes him invulnerable able to use heat vision, freezing breath, flying, have the super speed to see through things and all these are laws of physics it makes sense all his power in the laws of physics in that universe of DC… but where does magic overcome all this?
Magic takes all the laws of physics and laughs even Harry Potter would beat Superman easily but this is a fact that screenwriters forget, he has always been vulnerable to magic and this weakness is much more dangerous than Kryptonite.
Did you know about this?
Superman is DC’s greatest hero and if the writers mention this in the stories it could ruin the character’s morale, have you thought about that? Did you know that? Because a lot of people don’t know this and you can find this story in Justice League number 44 where the Man of Steel was possessed by Spectrum.
Brief considerations and conclusion
But despite everything for me, Superman’s biggest weakness is its screenwriters because even in one-on-one we’ve seen that if you hit Superman too much he eventually falls, let the Apocalypse say, I leave opinions to everyone who likes stories in comics and beyond, help me by leaving a like on this story to motivate me to continue writing and subscribe to receive notification of upcoming stories…
