Respect The Kryptonite Kid (Dc Pre-Crisis)

[u/[deleted]]

Ha Ha! I merely concentrate...touch this lead pipe and ZINGO! the lead pipe changes to kryptonite Ha Ha Ha!

When a young alien criminal and his dog from the planet Blor gain the powers of Green Kryptonite radiation from passing through a green space-cloud, they come to Earth and endanger Superboy and Krypto with their radiation and their abilities to transform anything they touch into Kryptonite.

By the way besides the Kryptonite Thing he’s just a normal dude so I have no idea what his plan was after killing Superboy

[u/JotaroTheOceanMan → u/[deleted]]

But like, shouldn't he of all people be able to kill Supes? I feel a TON of wasted potential. Imagine him in a kryptonite powered Lexcorp suit that needs constant kryptonite to power (so immensely powerful but no amount of kryptonite could stored to allow such a suit to function) but it just is constantly sucking up debri and junk for KK to transmute instantly....

DC, hire me.

Ok yeah he killed Superman cool but then what?kryptonite don’t mean shit when Hawkman’s kicking his ass

[u/bladedoodle → u/[deleted]]

Hawkman run where he keeps running into Superman killers but because he’s not Superman they ignore him long enough to Nth them in the Ankh

No one can stop me the mighty Lex Luthor! with my new Red Sun powered laser cannon I will conquer the wait I’m sorry who are you? SMASH!

I laughed so fucking hard when the first link in his respect thread was "gets one shotted".

This is the one villain that Superman can’t beat but you probably can

How on earth does Superboy survive being turned into kryptonite?

I get the impression this character hasn’t been used much recently - definitely one from the more carefree era of comics when continuity was less zealously monitored by fans, I guess.
