1. Explanation 1: This is pretty dumb, but I figured the cage was painted with that handy-dandy, super-power-or-Kryptonite-blocking lead-based paint. But this was a special kind developed by LexLabs, and when an electrical current passed through it, it dissolved, revealing the kryptonite underneath.
2. Explanation 2: This isn't much better. The cage was painted with Kryptonite mixed with a lead-based paint, and application of an electrical current activated the Kryptonite so the lead-based part was no longer shielding it.
Weak and dumb, I know, but they didn't leave me a lot of wiggle room on that one.
