Exposed Weaknesses
Henry gave Barbara Morse, who had caught up with him, a strange look.
Although he desperately wanted to tell her, "Woman, you're slowing me down"—in a real sense, not metaphorically— Henry didn't refuse Barbara's request to follow him.
Noticing that the Skrulls behind him had already left with Nick Fury and the others, Henry finally spoke up and asked:
"Why did you follow me? Aren't you going to help Nick Fury?"
"Nick Fury said that What If...? he doesn't come back, at least one person in the know needs to report to the department. So he wants me to leave with you."
After thinking for a moment, Barbara added, "Nick Fury doesn't entirely trust the Skrulls either."
"Hmm," Henry replied, lost in thought.
"We don't need to wait for the police to take us away. I'll contact the S.H.I.E.L.D.. branch here and have them send someone to pick us up. If we act quickly, we should be back in Los Angeles tomorrow."
After saying that, Barbara took out her mobile phone and started making calls.
Henry didn't stop her; he was simply pondering the information the Skrulls had revealed about the Kryptonian.
The Kryptonian' greatest weakness has actually been exposed by General Ross in public. However, in this universe,
Krypton didn't explode, so there's no Kryptonite. Instead, the widely circulated weakness of Kryptonian is their Green Sun.
In Henry's memories before his time travel, Barrington Star with its Green Sun in DC Comics, did indeed cause Superman and Supergirl considerable trouble. It wasn't necessarily fatal, but in that weakened state, Kryptonian without help could easily be killed.
Then the most common source of trouble is the parallel universe of the Red Sun and the Yellow Sun, where Superman from both sides wander around. When they arrive on the other side's home turf, they become as weak as ordinary people.
Therefore, one thing can be confirmed: what affects Kryptonian is not Kryptonite itself, but the star-like radiation that Kryptonite emits.
Different colors of Kryptonite would have different effects on Superman. This concept could also be extended to different colors of Sun Pharma, which would similarly have different effects on Kryptonian.
The most common type of Green Kryptonite weakens Kryptonian, and when made into weapons, it can harm or kill Kryptonian.
Red Kryptonite can drastically alter the Kryptonian, causing them to exhibit completely opposite traits. Moreover, this change can be permanent, meaning that even after being removed from the Kryptonite, the affected Kryptonian will not revert to their original state.
Blue Kryptonite cancels out the effects of Red Kryptonite and can also temporarily cause Kryptonian to lose their superpowers.
Black Kryptonite will cause Kryptonian to split into two entities, one good and one evil.
Gold Kryptonite can permanently remove superpowers from Kryptonian, but it does not affect their offspring.
Silver Kryptonite can make Kryptonian neurotic, causing them to hallucinate and experience a buildup of negative emotions.
Pink Kryptonite is said to turn Kryptonian into Kryptonians, and another theory suggests it can cause Kryptonian to undergo sex reassignment.
Platinum Kryptonite grants non- Kryptonian Kryptonian abilities.
Orange Kryptonite can grant temporary superpowers to animals other than humans.
The above are the general types of natural Kryptonite; artificially synthesized or accidentally formed kryptonite are not discussed here.
If stellar light has the same effect on Kryptonian, then it's not hard to understand why the Skrulls called the Krypton fleet insane.
Because the temperament and power of this space fleet are constantly influenced by the environment, sometimes it's crazy, sometimes it's evil, and sometimes the entire fleet is bubbling with pink Bubbles —who wouldn't be dumbfounded when faced with such an enemy?
Furthermore, Kryptonian are affected by Kryptonite /different star colors, and even after they recover, they remember the memories of the period when they were affected. These memories and feelings, in turn, influence the temperament of the dominant personality.
It's like how Superman often regrets the things he did after being transformed by Kryptonite, and then feels remorse after returning to normal.
However, for Henry, who stays on Earth and has no plans for space travel, there's no need to worry about other colored stars changing his personality. The real concern is how Nick Fury, who received this message, will utilize it.
First, natural Kryptonite exists in Krypton's core. It's not like you can just pick up any rock on the surface and expect it to affect Kryptonian. As long as Krypton doesn't explode, no one will ever discover this.
As for using different colored Sun Pharma to influence the Kryptonian, Henry thought that possibility was unlikely.
In DC Comics, only two entities openly possess the technology to artificially synthesize Kryptonite: Brainiac, the Brainiac, and Lex Luthor, Superman's nemesis. Although more and more have followed suit, the technology wouldn't have spread until Lex Luthor initiated it.
Batman has never publicly admitted that he can synthesize Kryptonite; he only collects and stocks natural Kryptonite privately. But everyone thinks he can—
What If...? synthesizing Kryptonite is so difficult, is it possible for Earthlings to develop a Sun Pharma lamp capable of affecting Kryptonian?
It's not Vampires. You can't just shine an ultraviolet light on it and burn it, or even kill Vampires.
The exact mechanism behind the physiological and psychological changes that Kryptonite, or stellar light, has on Kryptonian is still inconclusive.
Let's assume the manufacturing difficulty is raised to the same level as the one in the next studio. In other words, this universe has the potential to create Sun Pharma lamp that could affect Kryptonian, but it would require at least someone of Mister Fantastic's caliber to do so.

Well, I used to think it was impossible for the universe to artificially create its own weaknesses. But the more I think about it, the more likely it seems, especially since it involves Reed Richards, that genius at causing trouble. It makes Henry realize that from now on, he should be wary of anyone approaching with a flashlight or trying to turn on a light.
Although in the movies or comics I had seen before my time travel, General Zod and his Kryptonian came to Earth, and their individual armor seemed to be able to shield them from Sun Pharma radiation.
They will only be strengthened by the Yellow Sun after their armor is damaged or they are actively deactivated.
Who knows what Krypton is all about in this universe, and whether individual armored units have the same capabilities? Besides, that was nine thousand years ago, roughly the time it took Earth to transition from the Neolithic Age to the modern era.
Another point that caught Henry's attention was that he belonged to the Flawed Ones exiled by Krypton, that is, naturally born babies.
Many believe that Superman's power stems from his father Jor- El dismantling Krypton's DARK and Codex of Genesis Codex and infusing them into Superman's blood. However, this claim has not been officially confirmed.
While it's common for American comics to revise their own lore, none of the versions of Superman have ever claimed that he was powerful because he possessed the Genesis Codex. They only mention that Superman held the key to reviving Krypton, though he could also choose to become the guardian of Krypton civilization.
Conversely, whenever the origins of Krypton are mentioned, it inevitably comes to mind that it was a highly class-based society. From the moment a baby is born, its future is predetermined.
Only Carl, the only Son of Krypton born naturally to El and El mother Lola in thousands of years.
Because he wasn't born through Codex, his abilities weren't restricted in their development, and he had infinite possibilities for every choice. In Henry's mind, this was the reason for Superman's power.
