Here's all the info I know and you could possibly need on Kryptonite.
GREEN-Lethal to all real Kryptonians. Can be deadly to other races cause it has been known to cause cancer due to radiation.
RED-Random, odd effects. Causes a Kryptonian to change themselves, normally mentally. Effects last 1 to 2 days, then that Kryptonian is immune to that specific chunk of Red K.
ANTI-KRYPTONITE-Created during the Pre-Post Crisis DC era. Used to explain why the non-powered Argo City can be hurt by Green K. (If you do not folow Pre-Post Crisis, it's too difficult to explain now. Also hurts beings like Superdog.)
X-KRYPTONITE-Created by Supergirl...only one chunk exists. She was trying to find a cure for Green K. It seems to only effect Terran pets--aka-Streaky the Cat-Supergirl's pet cat.
BLUE-Lethal to Bizarros, but can speed up the healing process when Superman's been damaged by Green K. Created by Professor Potter's duplicator ray...the same that created Bizarros.
GOLD-Removes any Kryptonians powers PERMANENTLY.
WHITE-Kills any plant life from any planet when brought in a 25-yard radius.
JEWEL-Remnants of Kryptons Jewel Mountains. Lets prisoners in Phantom Zones cast illusions and create explosions in the outside world.
BLACK-From what I know, it can split any alien race into their Bizzaro half and control it. But I'm flying blind on that one.
RAINBOW-Only found in the Pocket Universe and effects only Pocket Universe Kryptonians.
There were also Two FAKES-
SILVER-Created by Jimmy Olson for Superman's 25th anniversary on landing on Earth.
YELLOW-Created by Lex Luthor to control what he thought was Superman but turned out to be a Superman robot.
AND FINALLY--Mr. Mxyzptlk created what he called "Krimson Kryptonite" that took away Superman's powers for a short time. Want to know about all the Sun's and their affects?

i was wondering too.....cuz Martha put it up to Kal-el's chest and it made him kinda split into two, Kal-el and Clark, so maybe..... it only affects Kal-el, but not Clark... because Clark used the black krytonite to beat Kal-el...............hmm........so maybe it weakens kalel but makes Clark stronger?? i have NO CLUE.... but maybe thats it
Hmm....u know back on Krypton (a few cartoon episodes depicted life) showed that they had NO powers on the planet. And that the only way they received powers, was their heritage mixed with Earth's Sunlight. So maybe back on Krypton, they werent affected, because they didnt exactly have powers. Or maybe the sunlight affected meteor rocks as well.
are you sure gold kryptonite is permanent? because i don't recall ever seeing this...and if it DID happen, who did they use it on? because it cant be clark or super-girl...we know they continually have powers.
If they didnt even use it....how do you know it drains powers?
in one of the comics i forgot which one a kryptonian is swimming under water and encounters gold k he loses his powers and drowns i forgot the name sorry
Many people are saying that kryptonite was produced when Krypton was destroyed. Technically saying thats not possible, because A) in season 4 when lex and jason go to shanghai to find the third stone and clark and lana go after them in the temple area when clark finds that actually statue with the original drawing of the location of the third stone. as soon as he gets close to the statue it emits kriptonite rays. meaning that kryptonite existed before Kryptons desturction. and secondly clark was sent to earth months before the destruction of krypton (if u follow the original story) so its not possible for rocks that formed after kryptons destructiom could go along with him.
Actually, superman wasn't sent from krypton "months" before it exploded, it was hours, maby a day or so.
Think about it. If he was sent 'months' before kryptonite exploded, you would think that some other kryptonians would have the common sense to get the heck off of the planet. And wouldn't superman's parents try to get off the planet as well? They would have enough time, if it actually had been months before kryptonite exploded..
But to answer your question:
"Kryptonite was drawn to Earth in the wake of the space-warp drive created by Jor-El for baby Kal-El's rocket (Action #500)."
It was posted in the FAQ noted below.
I would just like to end all this for once:
Gold is a permie (permantent) for ALL kryptonians.
It also has a 2 foot radius.
