In the 2006 movie, Superman's enemy Lex Luthor, steals a kryptonite rock fragment from the Metropolis Museum. On the case are written the words "sodium lithium boron silicate hydroxide with fluorine".
In a case of life imitating art a newly discovered mineral has been found to contain exactly the same elements as the green crystals that rob superman of his powers (apart from fluorine) . Unlike kryptonite, the mineral is white and powdery, emits no radiation and comes from Serbia rather than outer space.
So a mineral is discvered in europe that contains most, but not all, of the elements that make up a fictional mineral. It’s not much of a story really.. then again more fool me for this post!

The appeal of Superman has always buffled me. He's even lamer than Spiderman. Batman could beat both of them with one hand tied behind his back...
I'd put my money on Batman too!
