probably a little blue kryptonite, the blue turns off his powers, the green one makes him sick.

I've read for years about this scene being written, but not included. Imagine my surprise when I found out that it was not only filmed, but made easily available online!

Damn, is that some kryptonite toe clipper?

Well she is using a chainsaw. That always gets het riled up.

What did superman's hair do to you?

We just don't talk about the red one and it's tingling effect.

People who have aex are trash and should burn in hell

Yes, they do work better

No, 99% of the time, it's laser vision. But kryptonite did show up once or twice.

lol, that was hilarious

I thought it was pink kryptonite that we don't talk about.

Been a while since I read it, but Larry Niven had a whole essay on this subject:
-
Those covers are great.
In the Silver Age, Superman's hair and fingernails didn't grow. (I'm not sure whether it was addressed in the Golden Age.) This implies that Superman has the exact same haircut that Jor-El and Lara gave him as a baby, which was also never addressed, as far as I know.
In Action Comics #300 from 1963, Superman ends up in the far future, when the sun has turned red, so he loses his powers. Losing his powers makes his hair and fingernails grow. As he figures out how to get back to his own time, he makes a point to cut his hair and fingernails before his powers come back, since otherwise, there would be no way to cut them afterward.
Later renditions are a completely different story, of course. Mostly, I've seen him use heat vision to cut his hair, with an occasional kryptonite-laced razor or scissors. I don't remember any version showing him cut his nails, other than Action #300.
