Pink Kryptonite?

[doordoor123]

I've heard pink Kryptonite turns Superman gay. Is this true? Can someone back it up? And apparently brown kryptonite makes him poop a lot?

[Conan The Barbarian]

It's true, don't know about Brown though

That panel seems like the artist had no idea what the dialogue was going to be.

[paulski]

Ed Benes, isn't it?

[Expletive Deleted]

Yeah, Ed Benes from his run on PAD's Supergirl.

I think that scene took place in an alternate timeline, but I don't recall the specifics.

[witchboy]

That is from the end of the Linda Danvers era, where Linda took the place of Earth -1 Supergirl.
I love the idea of Pink Kryptonite, I just wish that very short one panel had been done better. The window treatment comment was lame and didn't really make sense.

[Lexrules]

The worst of all Kryptonite's.

[Mat001]

The window treatment refers to what Jimmy is wearing. It looks like something you'd find in a department store window. And no, there is no Brown Kryptonite.

[Superdog]

What a clever concept! Pink is the color of gays, so pink Kryptonite makes Superman hit on a man, an obviously insane and abnormal thing! How hilarious!

[Perfection/Emma 2]

I await for the Yellow Kryptonite personally. Makes all Kryptonians cry babies.

[witchboy]

I thought the window treatment had to with curtains or something. I've never heard that expression used in real life anyways. I'm gay and I didn't even get that joke. That explanation makes a lot more sense. That panel doesn't really work. I mean, Superman is gay for one panel in the history of comics, would it have been too much for him to smile instead of looking so sullen?

He's torn up by his love of straight young Jimmy.

I recall hearing that Flex Mentallo has to deal with "Shocking Pink Mentallium, under the influence of which [he] was invariably invited to explore complex issues of gender and sexuality".

When I learned about Pink Kryptonite, I instantly decided that such a thing was canon for Superman as well.

Of course, I certainly understand why Superdog thinks the concept is stupid, but frankly, I think that Kryptonite in general is kind of stupid, so I have no problem bringing more stupid into it.

(I've also always considered Jimmy to be bi rather than straight, but whatever. )

[dreyga2000]

It should have been rainbow kryptonite instead... I would pay to Pink Kryponite Superman teaming up with Batman... Pure hilarity

[witchboy]

Pink K is pretty awesome. Red K could randomly generate the same effect, but only one time, whereas Pink K is the gift that keeps giving.
I imagine Lex making himself a Pink K ring so that Superman is always gay in his presence :)
I think of Jimmy as being closeted gay, but possibly clueless about it back in the old school stuff.
