So it's white? Maybe it's a new kind that no one knew about. Wonder how it would react with Superman's power.
malu According to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kryptonite#Variations White Kryptonite kills all plant life, whether Kryptonian or not. Induces decay immediately upon exposure, with a range of about 25 yards. The most prominent use of this variety in the comics was to destroy Virus X, which was revealed in a storyline in 1968's Action Comics #362-366 to actually be a form of plant life.
