Revision as of 20:45, 27 October 2005
This form of kryptonite, also know as "Bizarro kryptonite" because it emits radiations to which only Bizarro creatures are vulnerable, was first brought into being by Superman in October 1960 as a means of thwarting an invasion of Earth by Bizarros from the planet Htrae. By focusing Lex Luthor's "duplicator ray"--an ingenious device designed to create imperfect molecular duplicates of either animate of inanimate objects--on a mound of green kryptonite, Superman produces a new, imperfect form of kryptonite that is harmless to Kryptonian survivors but deadly to Bizarros. One unfortunate Bizarro creature, a Bizarro-Supergirl, succumbs to the fatal effects of blue-kryptonite poisoning in October 1960 (S No. 140: pts. I-III--"The Son of Bizarro!"; "The 'Orphan' Bizarro!"; "The Bizarro Supergirl!"
