Kryptonite. It has become part of the cultural vocabulary. If a person has a bane, we say "it is his kryptonite." And it was in this radio series that kryptonite was invented, only later to be incorporated into the comic book proper -- and eventually popular mythology. In this story arc Superman once more teams up with Batman and Robin to hunt down the remaining pieces of kryptonite. (I say "once more" because they teamed up before, but all the episodes of that encounter aren't available so I never posted them.)
