Blue kryptonite
From Smallville Wiki
Blue kryptonite is a mineral found in the planet Krypton. It is currently unknown if it can be found naturally on Earth like green kryptonite or if it is a derivative byproduct like black kryptonite.

[edit] Powers and Abilities
The blue kryptonite suppresses the power and abilities of Kryptonians while on Earth, making them vulnerable.
While Kryptonians are in the presence of blue kryptonite, they also become immune to the effects of green kryptonite, suggesting that it makes them normal.
Blue kryptonite has the opposite effect on Bizarro; rather than removing his powers, it overloads his body with power and energy, causing him to explode.
[edit] Vulnerabilities
The effects of the blue kryptonite are controlled by proximity, just like other types of krytonite. Its powers will fade away if the Kryptonian is at a certain distance of it, or if it is stored inside of a lead box.
In the case of jewelry, it needs to be worn.
[edit] Season Seven
In Blue, after activating the Blue crystal in the Fortress console, it created an exact duplicate of Lara-El and Zor-El. Lara gave Clark his father´s victory ring, which had the blue kryptonite. Unknown to Clark, it stripped him of his powers, as a plan orchestrated by Zor-El. Only by destroying the crystal he managed to get rid of the ring, but also he destroyed the clones of his mother and uncle in the process.
In Persona, Clark asks Lionel for a way to stop Bizarro, and he suggest to use the blue kryptonite cause it will destroy him from an overload of power. He tells him to find Dax-Ur, using the Kryptonian shield he found. After meeting with Dax-Ur, he obtained a piece of kryptonite and faced Bizarro. Later Lana Lang used the kryptonite to destroy at last the last phantom.
[edit] Season Nine
A Kryptonian solider called Alia time traveled back from the future with Lois Lane to assassinate Kal-El. Kal-El and Alia later battled and she used the blue kryptonite to make them mortal-like so she could kill him with her sword which she wouldn't have been able to if he had his powers.
When Jor-El was forced to create the Orb and include the DNA of Kryptonian soldiers, he radiated the Orb with Blue kryptonite radiation making all of the clones powerless so that they could not rule earth under a Yellow sun.
[edit] In the Comics
Blue kryptonite is the Bizarro analogue to green kryptonite. Using Bizarro logic, this, in general, hurts Bizarros while having beneficial effects on ordinary Kryptonians. Pre-Crisis, blue kryptonite is the result of using Professor Potter's "duplicator ray" on some green kryptonite. Here, blue kryptonite affects Bizarros like green kryptonite affects Kryptonians. Blue Kryptonite radiation is not blocked by normal lead, but by imperfectly duplicated lead. Bizarro World, a sentient planet, had animated Blue Kryptonite golems underground that surfaced and attacked the Super-Powered Bizarros while the delighted non-powered bizarros cheered them on. When Jimmy Olsen had his mind turned to that of a Bizarro, Exposure to Blue Kryptonite radiation turned his mind back to normal. In an episode of Super Friends, blue kryptonite heals Superman from the effects of red kryptonite. Post-Crisis, its origin is unknown. Here, blue kryptonite makes Bizarros become polite, goodhearted, coherent, and intelligent. It also causes physical pain much like green kryptonite affects Superman. In Smallville, blue kryptonite suppresses Kryptonians powers and removes their sensitivity to green kryptonite. Blue kryptonite was first introduced as a Victory Ring given to Clark by a replicant of his mother Lara-El in "Blue". Also in Smallville, Bizarro's powers were increased exponentially by blue kryptonite, overloading his body with power and killing him, much like "a light bulb being powered by a nuclear reactor", in the episode "Persona".
Blue kryptonite has also been used in Superman video games as a life restorative due to its bizarro nature.
