In literature, mythology, and comic books, heroes often have a “kryptonite” or “Achilles’s heel”, basically a weakness that makes them vulnerable. I’m curious, what would be considered Superman’s “kryptonite”?
Obviously loss of glasses, making him recognizable in civilian life.
Superman doesn’t wear glasses tho
Yeah, what a dumb thing to say. He’s super, he’d never wear glasses.
Running out of hair gel is a big weakness though
Contacts. Super contacts.
Sure, he at least has the contact info of Green Lantern I think, maybe Wonder Woman
Dats a shitpost alright
Superman’s kryptonite is interesting writing
I wouldn’t know, I haven’t seen smallville
As a life long Superman fan with like 4 notably good Superman stories to read in his 87 year history. Fuck you… but yes.
Which 4 ?
The truly classic ones I’ve read are Red Son, All-Star Superman, Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow, For the Man Who Has Everything, Kingdom Come, and the Death of Superman.
I also like the New Krypton/War of the Supermen storyline though.
Superman’s kryptonite is the fact that he is popular and everyone thinks the character would make great media, but the character is way too overpowered to write good plots for.
Oh, that and actual Kyrptonite.
Zack Snyder.
he needs a telephone booth to change?
Change?
Undress.
This isn’t gonewild sorry

Isn’t that spider hyphen man
No it’s dr who
Kryptonite…
Yes, that’s what I’m asking. What is it???
He hates green rocks I think, specifically ones that look like the guts trophy.
You mean Mt Agg? So someone just has to challenge him to climb it.
Why do you think superman never entered it? He could easily dominate the Aggro-Crag, but it’s made entirely of kryptonite.
Now I’m picturing Superman watching Guts.
At the end when the host asks the signing off questions. “No if’s and’s, but’s these kids got guts. Do you have it? Guts!”
Superman quietly sobs into his hands and gentle cries, “…no…”
I’m pretty sure it’s magic.
yep, which is why a lot of the magic team ups in DC start with superman getting owned.
Psychic abilities too.
Superman’s kryptonite is still unkown, unfortunately.
Scientists have speculated that understanding the physiology of Subman (Superman’s greatest threat) may help us find it, but so far polite requests for non-invasive experiments have been declined and we cannot, in good conscience, forcefully subject him to them.They got the wrong guy, subman is a breeze in the wind compared to subparman.
Trying to recreate that reddit post, huh?
What is Reddit idk
I’m like 99% sure that he is afraid of bald people. Whenever the reoccurring token bald guy shows up he gets really scared. He could just be afraid of robots, I remember he was afraid of batman’s robots too, I don’t believe batman is bald, but I’ve never seen batman without his suit. Superman has X-ray vision though, and I’m not sure he can turn that off so maybe he is afraid of batman because he is bald and not because he is afraid of robots.
Robots and bald people, final answer.
His ultimate weakness: bald robots
True heterosexual love between a biological man and a biological woman. It’s why he never hooks up with Lois Lane and keeps sneaking peeks at Jimmy’s junk at the gym.

A mixture of: 15.08% plutonium, 18.06% tantalum, 27.71% xenon, 24.02% promethium, 10.62% dialium, 3.94% mercury, 0.57% an unknown element not found on the known periodic table. You could use tar instead.
What about using wet socks
Might help. As long as it’s 0.57%.
Dry or wet weight?
He’s super pee-shy, can we use that against him?
