Well, well. It looks like “sodium lithium boron silicate hydroxide with fluorine” or as we like to call it “kryptonite” may be real! Now, can we please locate Superman? We need some help in Iraq. Tell him that we promise not to use jadarite, er, kryptonite on him. Promise. For reals. And we won’t let Lex Luthor out of prison this time either.

Well, almost. Fortunately for Man of Steel the recently described mineral lacks one element necessary to the compounding of true kryptonite: fluorine. As a result, the new discovery lacks the ominous green glow of the fabled interplanetary debris that is all that remains of Superman’s home planet. Happily for us all, Lex Luther has been foiled again! (See http://www.livescience.com/scienceoffiction/070424_kryptonite.html for more, if you must.)
Shew! That means Superman is safe! So if Luthor escapes he’s got nothing to lob at the Man O’Steel.
