    This show seems to be following the original "rules' on how kryptonite. There are (or were, DC/WB has changed everything but it's underwear ) that there are 5 kinds of kyrptonite.

    Green- can kill Kyptonians.If exposed to a big enough piece for long enough.

    Red - has all kinds of weird effects and no one piece can effect them twice.

    White- kills all plants.

    Blue- only hurts Bizarros. (imperfect duplicants of superman, etc.)

    Gold- can take away their powers forever.

    Big question: can kypronite hurt STREAKY?  He's an Earth cat, but his powers are a duplicate of Kyptro's. My guess: MAYBE Blue kypronite could hurt him. Or take away powers temporarly?

    Yes, Kryptonite can hurt Streaky. Although he was a regular Earth cat, he was given Kryptonian powers. So technically, he's part Kryptonian, and therefore he can be affected by said Kryptonite.

    Indeed so. It was not only MENTIONED twice, but SHOWN three times already so far (though the first time it was actually SHOWN was with RED Kryptonite and both times it was shown with GREEN Kryptonite so far happened in the second season).

    Also, we have yet to see anything other then red or green kryptonite in the show. Altho orange kryptonite (a recent invention) is s'posed to be appearing the comics.

    I don't think that we, the cable deprived, have seen those episodes on channel 11 yet.

    Actually, 'Now You See Him...' contains a scene with kryptonite that was neither green nor red. If I didn't know better I'd say it was gold but it obviously had the same effect as green kryptonite.

    Pardon my cheek, but does Streaky's imaginery 'purple spotted kryptonite'from "Streaky's Supercat Tale" count? And, in an issue commerating Superman's silver anniversary, the Man of Steel encountered silver kryptonite, which turned out to be a harmless joke.

    read a list of various types of kryptonite on wikipedia awhile back and the purple spotted kryptonite is listed there.

    Really? In what scene (I just now notice Naylte's post... *facepalms*)?
