Watched an episode of The Adventures of Superman last night in which a scientist synthesized (or possibly refined) Kryptonite. In the story this was the first time Supes had encountered it. Subsequent developments suggest that the Earth is lousy with it, and it occurs to be that there are a lot more people from Krypton around than is generally assumed as well. I'd like to see a breakdown of Superman stories some day. You have your secret identity tales, and bad guys who think they have a gimmick (in the comics that's mostly Lex Luther, but there are others). Sometimes there's a menace from outer space, and every now and then (every 90 days if I recall correctly) Mister
Mxyzptlk shows up. Also time travel.
