We all know that Kryptonite is Superman's most iconic weakness, but what is it and where did it come from? I'm not just talking about the green rock's history and origin inside of the DC Comics universe as fragments of Superman's home world of Krypton. Actually, the behind the scenes origin of how and why Kryptonite was first introduced is far more interesting. Most people believe that it traces its roots back to the Adventures of Superman radio program, but it actually goes back a little bit further in the past to a secret unpublished comic known as "The K-Metal from Krypton" that was dubbed the the most important Superman story ever written! All that and much more on today's show about the REAL origin of Kryptonite!

Every Wednesday, Comic Misconceptions explores the fun trivia, interesting ideas, and mind-blowing theories regarding comic books and the rich history and culture that surrounds them!
