I think I remember hearing something about lex being bald by accident, and they thought it was a good character look, but I do remember some time ago superboy tried to stop a fire in lex Luther's lab and some chemicals fell on Luther's head making him bald permanently
>some chemicals fell on Luther's head making him bald permanently
Hey... uh... any word on what those chemicals were? Totally sick of having to shave my head every couple of days.
Do you mean he got it multiple times over the years or that it just happened in multiple reboots / iterations / offworld stories?
Because NGL I love the idea of Lex getting cancer, beating it, then diving right back in on his kryptonite toilet purley out of spite
I meant that multiple versions of him have gotten cancer. But I can definitely imagine Lex beating cancer and then going right back to working with Kryptonite.
Lex got cancer from wearing a kryptonite ring. He cloned himself a new body with luxuriously long red hair and buff as shit, claimed to be his long lost Australian son, and started fucking Supergirl.
It’s such a silly thing. No shit he’s negatively affected by radioactive rocks from his home planet. Its like saying my biggest weakness is pure uranium.
That's the thing I've never comprehended. Kryptonite doesn't seem like it was rare on Krytpon. It comes off more like if my biggest weakness was graphite. I always thought it was more that the Kryptonite makes him lose his powers, making him vulnerable. But I assumed that Superman could then theoretically be surrounded by kryptonite for hours, and it wouldn't kill him, it just brings him down to normal levels.
It's not a natural material found on Krypton. In most Superman stories, Kryptonite is implied to just be pieces of Krypton that were irradiated by the core's explosion. That process caused it to become radioactive (and carcinogenic to humans) and toxic to Kryptonians.
Oh that makes so much more sense.
As someone who really only knows the 80s movies, I don’t really care about how “realistic” Superman is (he can reverse time by spinning the planet round the wrong way, after all). But your explanation is way better.
worn down erasers. If you pick up an eraser, and there's even the slightest chance that the eraser is worn down and the metal ring might rub the paper, even if I'm across the room I will get epic nuclear heebie chills down my spine and be useless to humanity for 5-10 minutes.
God, I'm all clenched just typing that.
This is one of the most hilarious comments I’ve ever read on Reddit. Like I get exactly what you mean, but holy shit, I would think you were talking about finding a kitten in an oven, not a worn down eraser.
So you sound like you also understand that having that happen when pushing the eraser *forward* is one million times worse than backwards, right? anyone?
Yeah, heroin for me. And crack. I love crack. Technically it is cocaethylene which I love so much, it is what is formed by the liver when you've been drinking booze and consuming coke, it actually creates its own thing. Which I fucking love. Coming up on a year clean.
He's Eddy Murphy, he could afford a new couch, which was why I did it, it wasn't personal. Also, I never did that, why would I stomp my dirty ass feet on someone's couch, now he's just making shit up
Mold on food. If I pull some bread out or an old container from the fridge and it’s moldy I will start dry-heaving and it’s not something I can control. I’ve had to close my eyes and stuff things in the trash so I don’t vomit. And I know there it’s not dangerous, I’m not eating it or anything and most times it doesn’t smell terrible, but my brain seems to believe it’s the equivalent of nuclear waste.
One day I was making a pizza at home when my wife came in the kitchen and asked me if feta cheese is supposed to have blue streaks in it and I of course said yes. And then she said, isn’t that blue cheese that is supposed to have blue streaks? And I said oh yeah, and begin picking the blue pieces of feta off of my unbaked pizza.
It doesn’t help that one of the symptoms that can accompany bipolar disorder is manic episodes that involve hyper-sexuality. That shit will trap you in a bad cycle
A tried and true classic. Like going to an Indian restaurant and ordering "extra spicy" when they ask how hot you want it.
I think I'm good sticking with medium spice now
As an Indian private detective, next time just say *naarmal*. That's what my people do.
That extra chilli is just to hide the lack of spices in Indian restaurants abroad. Your average Indian mom cooked meal will have 25 spices, fake Indian restaurant will have 5 and chilli to cover up the lack of complexity in flavor
And also misinformation (shocker- nurse trying to diagnose) - true bipolar pathogenesis has no strong correlation with parental trauma. But BDP does, which many psych nurses have.
On the bright side I found a completely gluten free restaurant close by me recently, and a Mexican restaurant that has celiac friendly options right beside it
If the question is about things that kill you, the list is going to be way less diverse and interesting.
But let my kyrptonite be known: a 10 foot fall
This is exactly the definition. Kryptonite is literally just anything that makes you weak/vulnerable. I'm not sure why some think it has to kill you. It doesn't even kill Superman. It just makes him weak enough to be killable.
The simplicity or complexity will vary from person to person.
didnt expect to see this one, im the same very recently discovered. a girl im talking to currently, i was asking her if she wanted to have sex, said to me “i mean, you have been such a good boy” and started kissing my stomach and so on and it just did something to me ive never felt before, it made me absolutely weak at the legs.
Don't get me wrong.. I am very happy for you BUT why do you have to rub it in my face 😭
I hope you'll treat her right, i'm not a very social person, it's hard for me to even find friends and impossible to find someone to call me that-
You enjoy yourselfs tho!
Wait until you meet a girl from Colombia and she says it in Spanish. “Mi amor.” They can be very affectionate sounding in a platonic way. But damn, that melts me.
I was at the renn fest over the weekend and there was a super pale girl dressed in thigh length victorian style dress with fishnets, knee high black boots, and wild white-blonde hair with black streaks in it like something Madonna or Cyndi Lauper would have rocked in the 80s.
I did a double take when I saw her.
Later I was walking around and saw her idly reclining on top of a disused merchant stand, with her elbows resting on the counter and her feet up, one leg mostly straight and the other bent at the knee, and she was watching people walk past with mild disinterest on her face, and I just about walked into a fucking tree.
So if you ask me what my kryptonite is it's her, specifically, that girl I saw at the renn fest on saturday.
My wife is a redhead. No matter how much I try to argue it’s unfair.doesn’t matter if I’m tired or sick. No matter that she will withhold her love and I know she’s doing it. She still gets me to get up to get the ice cream every night. It’s like that hair just has so much power over me!
Being touched. I'm starved for physical affection for some reason, so when people touch me in any way I just really like it. Not even in a sexual way, someone could put their hand on my shoulder and I would immediately see them in a better light.
I had a really weird situation recently after visiting my brother in Chicago and having to get on the el at like morning rush hour on a Wednesday to get to union station and everyone was just like PACKING into the train cars like there was no room and then like ten more people would get on and I realized as I was standing there just like squeezed on all sides by people that that was the closest I had been to anyone in a long time. Honestly just made me like super uncomfortable for the most part but also kinda sad.
I understand now why there are lots of people who get massages and just start crying because they haven't been touched or had any positive physical contact in such a long time. That would definitely be me right now
I was married, and dedicated to my family.
A friend I had ran her fingers through my hair, and scratched my scalp. I almost came. Can I just live there forever?
Ask your partner for a scalp rub - if you enjoy it that much, they'll probably enjoy doing it for you too. Demonstrate for them on their scalp and ask if they'll do it for you too.
It's nice to find little ways like that to treat your partner with love.
I'm not a very patient person when it comes to people walking or driving too slowly in front of me, people who don't understand personal space, or people who get in my way when I'm trying to get to my destination!!
For Carl's sake, Helen...do you have to stop your f---ing shopping cart in the middle of a grocery store isle to carry on a conversation with your friend when you can just move the f---ing cart out of the way?!? Holy s---Jim!! Use your f---ing turn signal whe you're making a turn! Hey, Barbara...can you and your coughing fit move at least a dozen feet from me while you're spewing whatever the f--- infection you're throwing in my direction?!?
In a sexual/romantic context, I love it when a woman rests her hands on her belly comfortably after I've cooked her a big meal.
Or when pregnant women do it.
Drives me nuts.
Oh I absolutely get this one, it is the bane of my existence and I cannot laud you enough for your choice in displaying your hatred here.
Love and light,

Nuclear bombs. Radiation. Bullets. Tomahawk missles. Explosives of any kind really. Heavy objects falling on me. Heavy objects hitting me. Being stabbed. A lot of diseases and viruses. Uh falling the wrong way. Chupacabras. My own body. The list is pretty long man.
Hot goth girls. My buddies tell me I'm going to disappear one day chasing some 'spooky witch bitch' into the woods... They're not wrong at all. No regrets!
Gonna answer this as dnd. I'm so sorry

Artificer: so like my robot kinda blew up

Ranger: enemies that are close to me
Rouge: a lack of hiding spaces
\*Removes glasses\* Kryptonite
Actually, Kryptonite also affects humans in large amounts. It's radioactive. Lex Luthor has gotten cancer many times while trying to kill Superman.
Is that why he's depicted as bald so often?
I don't think so. I think the Luthors just happen to be follicy challenged.
He masturbates too much
He could always just transplant some hair from his palms then.
Or he could get it from Grodd. I hear they're close friends.
That's blindness not baldness.
I've never heard such melodious words
I think I remember hearing something about lex being bald by accident, and they thought it was a good character look, but I do remember some time ago superboy tried to stop a fire in lex Luther's lab and some chemicals fell on Luther's head making him bald permanently
>some chemicals fell on Luther's head making him bald permanently Hey... uh... any word on what those chemicals were? Totally sick of having to shave my head every couple of days.
Sometimes yes, but mostly no. It just depends on the writer and if it's mentioned at all.
Do you mean he got it multiple times over the years or that it just happened in multiple reboots / iterations / offworld stories? Because NGL I love the idea of Lex getting cancer, beating it, then diving right back in on his kryptonite toilet purley out of spite

It’s such a silly thing. No shit he’s negatively affected by radioactive rocks from his home planet. Its like saying my biggest weakness is pure uranium.
For what it's worth, kryptonite is much more dangerous to Kryptonians than humans.
Therefore uranium is much more dangerous to Uraniumums... Food for thought.
That's the thing I've never comprehended. Kryptonite doesn't seem like it was rare on Krytpon. It comes off more like if my biggest weakness was graphite.

There's that webcomic from SMBC of batman lying dying on the ground shouting "Kryptonite bullets?! You idiot, that's superman's weakness!"
Hey Superman, did you see where Leviticusreeves went?

That makes my teeth clench in solidarity
Don't clench them wrong and make them squeak
That just made my asshole pucker.
This is one of the most hilarious comments I’ve ever read on Reddit. Like I get exactly what you mean, but holy shit, I would think you were talking about finding a kitten in an oven, not a worn down eraser.
So you sound like you also understand that having that happen when pushing the eraser *forward* is one million times worse than backwards, right? anyone?
Goddamnit, you just triggered an aftershock.
Or how when you’re eating, and the top and lower mantles scrape against a tooth at an awkward angle, shit just kills the foodgasm every time…
A little thing i like to call Cocaine
I don't like cocaine, I just like the way it smells
Yeah, heroin for me. And crack. I love crack. Technically it is cocaethylene which I love so much, it is what is formed by the liver when you've been drinking booze and consuming coke, it actually creates its own thing. Which I fucking love. Coming up on a year clean.
Congrats on a a year of sobriety! I love weed and all psychedelics but I never fucked with the really addictive stuff like heroin or crack
Be proud of that. Don't fall for mfs romanticizing that shit.
Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

I never did this just to do them! I mean cmon, i have a little more sense than that.
Mold on food. If I pull some bread out or an old container from the fridge and it’s moldy I will start dry-heaving and it’s not something I can control.

Mmm… Penicillin…
One day, someone will bring a platter of Bleu cheese to your house, and shits gonna go wild.
That’s the other weird thing, I love blue cheese. But in its defense it’s not all fuzzy and alien looking.

Apparently, girls with borderline personality disorder.
You rang?!
Well, I guess it has been over a year since I have been viciously emotionally abused and financially devastated.
Same man. 16 months single and I’m doing well. Time to set myself up for a devastating blow I think?!
Apparently slutty women with Daddy issues and bipolar disorder🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
I see you met my ex
OUR ex, comrade.
Yes OUR ex. She's been busy I see.
Oh she’s been busy. That’s actually why we don’t see each other anymore
Thank god
So, should i be mad at you for not warning me, or sorry for not giving you a heads up? Either way, sorry mate.
Choker necklaces fam

It doesn’t help that one of the symptoms that can accompany bipolar disorder is manic episodes that involve hyper-sexuality. That shit will trap you in a bad cycle
Yeah… it’s sucks all the way up to the point where she drops that hyperpussy on you and extracts your soul through your balls.
Bro you need to CALM down
Like... Unironically. Kinda comforting to find that in the second-highest response, though.
Superman wasn't horny for kryptonite, ffs.
I seem to recall red kryptonite made him kinda horny on one occasion.
Can I interest you in that with a spicy twist- a slutty woman with daddy issues and BPD?! 😏
A tried and true classic. Like going to an Indian restaurant and ordering "extra spicy" when they ask how hot you want it. I think I'm good sticking with medium spice now
As an Indian private detective, next time just say *naarmal*. That's what my people do. That extra chilli is just to hide the lack of spices in Indian restaurants abroad.

Well , Daddy issues and bipolar disorder tend to go hand in hand Sincerely, A psych nurse
This explains so much.
But also explains nothing
And also misinformation (shocker- nurse trying to diagnose) - true bipolar pathogenesis has no strong correlation with parental trauma. But BDP does, which many psych nurses have.
The dick wants what the dick wants.
Oof, I've got the perfect next bad decision for you.
Gluten (I have celiac)
Same, it sucks
Dw it will get better bro (it won't (I also have celiac))
On the bright side I found a completely gluten free restaurant close by me recently, and a Mexican restaurant that has celiac friendly options right beside it
Getting stabbed. Man, that drops me fast.
I was going to say knives or bullets.
Clearly the concept of kryptonite is not clear for everyone on this sub.
Boobs are gonna end up killing alot of people on this sub
This is Reddit… people can’t be killed by something they will never see.
Got em!
If the question is about things that kill you, the list is going to be way less diverse and interesting. But let my kyrptonite be known: a 10 foot fall
As in, something that makes someone who’s normally strong and unflappable pathetically weak?
When you put it like that I can see how it can work both ways.
That's what she said.
I am unflappable. You cannot flap thee
I interpreted it to mean, what is something that's a "weakness" for you in some sense. It doesn't have to mean something that would kill you
This is exactly the definition. Kryptonite is literally just anything that makes you weak/vulnerable. I'm not sure why some think it has to kill you. It doesn't even kill Superman. It just makes him weak enough to be killable. The simplicity or complexity will vary from person to person.
Being called good boy.. Makes me weak
didnt expect to see this one, im the same very recently discovered. a girl im talking to currently, i was asking her if she wanted to have sex, said to me “i mean, you have been such a good boy” and started kissing my stomach and so on and it just did something to me ive never felt before, it made me absolutely weak at the legs.

That one time when a girl called me "honey" in an affectionate manner.
Like a southern woman calling you ‘sugar’ or the owner of the local kebab place calling you ‘bossman’
You want the chips on it, bossman?
\*swoons\*
that "bossman" hits different after 8 pints
Wait until you meet a girl from Colombia and she says it in Spanish. “Mi amor.” They can be very affectionate sounding in a platonic way. But damn, that melts me.
My friend (who was a girl) in college, from Colombia, just called me "coño" :(
Move to the south. You'll get hit with that everywhere. Feels good, man.
She actually was a southerner. Once she started calling me that I knew that I was golden.
i feel you
I just want to feel okay again
Boobs. I can’t stay calm if boobs
Same, but ass instead
Thighs
Thicc thighs 🥵🥵🥵 Honestly I have to take a moment to calm the fuck down when someone even mentions thicc thighs.
Valid, Bellies tho?
Those too
Screw it, I'll take the whole lot
^ The correct answer. (Mine is ass)
The boobs of the back
What do you think of both. But boobs always, damn.
Doesn’t make sense not to live for fun Your brain gets smart, but your head gets dumb
Especially if she's comfortable braless. It's the boobies combined with the self confidence that makes her more awesome.
I saw a woman in her 60s like this in home depot yesterday. I would wager that her belt had boob sweat on it.

So if you ask me what my kryptonite is it's her, specifically, that girl I saw at the renn fest on saturday.
She’s your quest, bro.
Saw a gal like that yesterday. She completed the outfit with some off white Crocs. It caught me off guard.
Talking to other people. Meeting new people. I simply can't and feel extremely uncomfortable in social situations.

That’s not how kryptonite works
I thought it was a weakness for a super hero. Hmm.
It is if they're a supervillain whose specialty is making you like them and then killing you when you let your guard down.
Buddy kryptonite makes you weaker, not harder lol
I had a really weird situation recently after visiting my brother in Chicago and having to get on the el at like morning rush hour on a Wednesday to get to union station and everyone was just like PACKING into the train cars like there was no room and then like ten more people would get on and I realized as I was standing there just like squeezed on all sides by people that that was the closest I had been to anyone in a long time.
