Watch Out Superman! Scientists Discover 'Kryptonite'

I read the title and I sincerely thought, you cannot be serious...but oh they are. A mineral recently discovered in Serbia has the same composition as kryptonite...you know, the one that makes superman not so super anymore? While the material is not a perfect match, its chemical breakdown is strikingly similar.

The material is white, powdery and not radioactive, lacking the glowing green crystals found in the Superman comics. It will be formally named Jadarite when it is described in the European Journal of Mineralogy later this year

If they found Kryptonite, you KNOW Superman is going to be discovered.
