The Best of DC #36

In "The Curse of Kryptonite!", Superman faces a dire threat as a shard of the deadly mineral weakens him to the brink of death, triggering vivid flashbacks to past encounters with the substance that has haunted his history. The story unfolds through his fading consciousness, revealing the lingering danger of Kryptonite through memories that blur the line between past and present.

While rescuing a bathyscaph stranded on the ocean floor beside a Red Kryptonite meteor, Superman is drawn into a cascade of memories—each one a flash of chaos, transformation, and unexpected consequence sparked by the mysterious stone. From past encounters with his own robotic doppelgängers to forgotten moments on Mars, the memories reveal how Red Kryptonite has twisted his reality in ways he’s never fully understood.

In "The Invasion of the Bizarro World!", the Bizarros throw a party when their world is invaded by strange, animated blue kryptonite creatures—until the invaders try to reshape their planet into a perfect sphere. Chaos erupts as the Bizarros, led by the Bizarro Mayor, scramble to defend their oddly shaped home, discovering that only flawed, imperfect lead suits can block the kryptonite's effects.

In "The Secret of Kryptonite Six!", Superman is manipulated by Jax-Ur into freeing two unnamed Phantom Zone prisoners, believing it’s the only way to save Atlantis from a deadly plague. But the prisoners’ true goal is far more dangerous—using a mysterious form of Jewel Kryptonite to amplify their thoughts into physical power, turning their prison into a weapon.
