Readers of this blog (or readers of Superman comics) will already be familiar with the most common varieties of Kryptonite: green, red, blue, gold, and white. You may even be aware of some of the rarer varieties: orange, silver, jewel, anti-kryptonite, x-kryptonite, periwinkle, pink, and black. But even the imaginative minds behind the DC universe haven't yet exhausted the spectrum, which allows me to speculate on some new varieties . . .
All of the following effects are temporary (lasting between a few minutes to a few hours) unless otherwise stated.
Purple K: Causes excruciating pain when a super-powered Kryptonian uses any of their super-powers
Yellow K: Instills cowardice in super-powered Kryptonians.
Ultraviolet K: Makes super-powered Kryptonians invulnerable to magic, but removes their super-powers.
Indigo K: Turns the vision of ordinary humans upside-down. No effect on Kryptonians, super-powered or otherwise.
Turquoise K: Gives super-powered Kryptonians alien hand syndrome.
Bile K: Creates insatiable hunger in Kryptonians, such that they must stop what they're doing and eat gluttonously until the effect wears off.
Palladium K: Turns super-powered Kryptonians into obnoxious bourgeoisie snobs.
Reverso-K: If brought into proximity of two super-powered Kryptonians (including animals such as Krypto the Superdog or Beppo the Super-Monkey), switches the consciousnesses of the two.
Rubber K: Temporarily removes Kryptonian super-powers and replaces them with stretching abilities akin to the Elongated Man, Plastic Man, Elastic Lad, or Madame Rouge.

Special K: Pretty good with milk as a breakfast.
