sorry. i meant it's only been cemented in recent years. there've been times when kryptonite shouldn't have worked when it did, so that was where there was a problem. with johns being head boy at dc though, i don't see it happening again.

i don't see surfer getting it from him anyways.

It would just be a matter of time, eventually Surfer would always win even if he didn't throw Supes a curve and alter his tactics slightly...

Yeah but what makes you think that things like the Cosmic King were mistakes? The idea is that K-nite from X universe can't hurt Kryptonian from Y universe, it's never been said to my knowledge that a character from X universe can't create K-nite from Y universe.

Why... cause he hasn't .

Yeah but has John's ever said that it's impossible for characters to create K-nite from another universe, or just that K-nite from another universe won't affect Supes?

i honestly don't believe surfer can do that with his board. i know you don't agree, hence trouble.

it's the latter i think. i don't see any reason why if surfer knew the composition of kryptonite that he wouldn't be able to make it. it's the effectiveness that i'd argue about.

but i won't.

No dodge, it's really hard to say because it depends on how you view Supes's reflexes.

Whether or not Supes has ever dodged anything moving as quickly as Surfer's board is capable of though is pretty simple to answer...

I'm pretty sure he's dodged the Flash before.

What, charge his board with energy to use offensively? Of course he can...

Effectiveness how? Are you still talking about the alternate universe thing or about Supes resistance to the substance? Because he doesn't really have any resistance to Gold K-nite that I'm aware of...

more the speed than the energy. and yes, i'd seen that before. see?

though i do wonder if it can be charged with more exotic energies.

the alternate universe thing.

imo superman's reflexes are around lightspeed, if not slightly above or below it.

Exotic? We're talking about light.

But as we've already established it's never been said that someone from an alternate universe can't create K-nite that won't work, just that K-nite from another universe can't work. That means that previous instances of characters creating K-nite that works on Supes are perfectly valid.

The board can't move very fast in the beginning of Superman's time.
Superman could simply pop Surfer and combo him to ko before the board even gets to Superman.
