Kryptonite...One of Superman's Deadliest Opponents.
------- ------- ------- -------
If you have been a Superman or DC fan for some time, you are familiar to Kryptonite, that weird material coming from Krypton, same as Superman and that is able to make the whole situation flip in a second for the Man of Steel. We actually have had Kryptonite in many colors, we had a fatal golden Kryptonite in an old episode of "Superfriends; The Legendary Super Powers Show" called "Darkseid's Golden Trap" which allegedly was able to leave Superman powerless forever. We had a Red Kryptonite in the second and third seasons (mainly) of the "Smallville TV Series" that was able to free Clark from all of his inhibitions, including the ones that would have preferred to keep.
Nevertheless the most famous version of the Kryptonite is the GREEN KRYPTONITE, a shiny green mineral that makes Superman and all Kryptonians to feel sick and lose their powers under its proximity. Being a radioactive mineral, it's also the power source to some villains and the head ache of more than one Kryptonian.
In this episode, we had a first exposition to Kryptonite, (good thing we are not Kryptonians, just for this once!) that mythic substance that ranges among Superman 's deadliest opponents despite the fact, of being just a rock. We saw a fine episode that nevertheless, does not rank between my favorites and maybe it was a little slow for me... BUT I UNDERSTAND WHY MAYBE IT IS JUST FINE THAT WAY. Why? because there are always little kids watching the TV and people watching a show for the first time and they D E S E R V E to have an episode explaining them ALL the basics of this rock to understand the story in the episodes to come.
Maybe it was slow for me and other fans who were familiar with the story... but just ask a kid who has never seen the show to see it for the first time and I bet that you will see his little face glow brighter than the Kryptonite... and that is just the way it must be!
Thanks for reading, everyone.
