It'll have to be limited red sun radiation, however. Or BFR to the Negative Zone or somesuch.
Kryptonite from an alternate universe will not work, as per mod ruling, these guys don't REALLY work with magic, and I doubt they can overpower Superman with sheer strength alone.
Wouldn't it be more feasible for them to merely block/filter out solar or electromagnetic energy? So one mod for siphoning the energy and another to keep Supes from re-upping his supply.

Problem I'm seeing with that is that superman can escape and recharge faster than they could probably drain him. Once he sees the threat he'd probably try to finish it quickly.
Out of character he could fry their circuitry with heat vision.
Team could take it but I just don't see it happening.
I'd like further clarification on this ruling myself. I really thing it's being misinterpreted. Iirc you are applying the fact that kryptonite for
Example the one from superman primes universe would have no effect on Clark because it was a different radiation wavelength... Saying they can't use kryptonite from another universe is not the same as trying to duplicate Clark's weakness
If the lex from original supermans universe went to marvel for example, with his knowledge what's to stop him from creating the necessary item.

Oh no, I guess I am mixing two different rulings together in a mashup.
So its a combination of basic knowledge, and the fact that Kryptonite from different universes don't work.
So, say, basic knowledge decrees IM knows about Superman and Kryptonite. He creates it. But the mere fact he can create it, doesn't mean that it would work.
However, if Lex or Batman went to Marvel, and told IM how to make the specific K-nite necessary, then yes, it would work - it doesn't magically stop working just because its in a different universe.
Here, IM's team knows Clark is vulnerable to K-nite. But unless Lex or someone tells them how to make it, it won't work. If a Lex from a different DC Earth told them how to make it, it still won't work.
