1) Give the colors and effects of the various types of Kryptonite.

	green Kryptonite - kills Kryptonians.
	red Kryptonite -   has an unpredictable affect on Kryptonians - usually
		causing a physical change. Effects last at most 48 hours.
	gold Kryptonite  - permenantly removes the powers of a Kryptonian.
	white Kryptonite - kills plants.
	Kryptonite-x     - it gave Streaky the super-cat his powers. I don't
		think it has appeared anywhere else.

2) Give the names of as many of Superman's girlfriends as you can
   and what do most of them have in common?

	Lois Lane
	Lana Lang
	Lori Lemuras(???)
	A Kryptonian actress with initials L.L. whose name I can't think of.

	All of them have initials L.L.

3) What relation is Mon-el (from the Legion of Superheroes) to
   Superboy and what material was his bane?

	They're not related, but Superboy thought at one point that they
	were brothers (hence Mon-el's name, the Mon because Superboy met him
	on a Monday, and El being Superboy(Kal El)'s family name). Mon-el
	is something of a big brother figure to Superboy.

	Mon-el is vunerable to radioactive rays from lead.

4) Who were the original 3 members of the Legion of Superheroes?
	Saturn Girl, Lightning Lad and Cosmic Boy. I can't think of any
	of their real names off hand.

5) What is the origin of the Bizarros?

	A duplicator ray invented by some dippy inventor(again, I can't think
	of the name) only made imperfect(to say the least) duplicates. It was
	used on Superman to make Bizarro number 1, and eventually used to make
	large numbers of Bizarro Supermen, Lois Lanes, Jimmy Olsons, etc,
	who went off and colonized their own planet (changing it from round to
	cube shaped on a suggestion from, I beleive, Jimmy Olson).

The imperfect duplicating ray was invented by  Prof. Potter.
