Krypton is a real element, here on earth it it is a gas found in some neon lights. Krpytonite in the Superman comics is made up and is suppose to be rocks left over from the planet krypton after it exploded. One of the sad pathos of Superman that I often thought the comic book or the TV show Smallville should explore is that the last remains of his home is the one thing that can kill him, talk about you can't go home again...

Kryptonite was made up so Superman would not be absolutely unbeatable. Go to ‘supermanthroughtheages.com’ and you will see the earliest Superman story about Kryptonite, The K Metal from Krypton. This story covers how Superman first learned he was from Krypton and that he was vulnerable to Kryptonite.

Kryptonite, the green glowing rock that is Superman's weakness, is a fake mineral. However there is a gas (one of the noble gases) that is called Krypton.

Krpytonite is a made up radioactive maineral that can kill Superman. I got its name from the planet Krypton which is named after the element Krypton.

It was made up for Superman.However, there is a real element (like on the periodic table, you would have seen it in science class)called krypton.
