Well, that's it, Superman's fucked. We can kiss all of our asses goodbye now.
LONDON (Reuters) - Kryptonite, which robbed Superman of his powers, is no longer the stuff of comic books and films.
A mineral found by geologists in Serbia shares virtually the same chemical composition as the fictional kryptonite from outer space, used by the superhero's nemesis Lex Luther to weaken him in the film "Superman Returns".
"We will have to be careful with it -- we wouldn't want to deprive Earth of its most famous superhero!," said Dr Chris Stanley, a mineralogist at the Natural History Museum.
Stanley, who revealed the identity of the mysterious new mineral, discovered the match after searching the Internet for its chemical formula - sodium lithium boron silicate hydroxide.
"I was amazed to discover that same scientific name written on a case of rock containing kryptonite stolen by Lex Luther from a museum in the film Superman Returns," he said.
The substance has been confirmed as a new mineral after tests by scientists at the Natural History Museum and the National Research Council in Canada.
But instead of the large green crystals in Superman comics, the real thing is a white, powdery substance which contains no fluorine and is non-radioactive.
The mineral, to be named Jadarite, will go on show at the the Natural History Museum at certain times of the day on Wednesday, April 25, and Sunday, May 13.
Well, that's it, Superman's fucked. We can kiss all of our asses goodbye now.

I've been bitten by spiders like five times and not one of them gave me spider powers
Of course the chance that they were radioactive wasn't too high

IN THE DRIZZLE
Superman was once almost defeated by an easy-bake oven.
They've already made plans for such an occasion and there's no stopping them
That's the picture I was thinking of.
For the past week every time I pick up my phone for absolutely no reason it is guaranteed to ring or buzz with an incoming call or text message within five seconds.
Yup.
WATCH OUT.
Edit: The cat one.
