In the continuity of the Smallville television series, green Kryptonite has the same effects on young Clark Kent as it does on his comic book counterpart. Its effects on normal Earth humans is wildly more unpredictable. A regular human exposed to green Kryptonite may suffer from any number of genetic mutations. Some develop temporary super-powers, others goes insane, and some demonstrate no side effects whatsoever.

Kryptonite doesn't comment on pending litigation as a matter of company policy, spokeswoman Donna Tocci said in an e-mail. But, she added, "This is not just a Kryptonite concern. Anything with a tubular cylinder -- vending machines, soda machines, ignition systems, coin-operated laundry and other security products -- could be a concern."

Kryptonite was featured in Superman: The Movie. In the film, Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman) and his cronies (Ned Beatty and Valerie Perrine) track a large chunk to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, where they steal it from a museum under the cover of night. In this film's usage, the term "kryptonite" seems to mean simply a "Kryptonian meteorite". After co-opting and launching two missiles for opposite ends of the United States, Luthor places the kryptonite on a chain around Superman's (Christopher Reeve) neck and drops him into a swimming pool. When Perrine's character Miss Tessmacher learns that one of the missiles is headed for Hackensack, New Jersey (where her mother lives), she rescues Superman from drowning and removes the kryptonite, after which his strength and powers quickly return.
