Bass: I'm not calling Supes in on this... the guy's weak against magic and kryptonite. I'm pretty sure this Amon guy knows some magic, and any yahoo can get their hands on kryptonite. Heck, I bet this guy sells kryptonite ice cream.
Ice Cream Vendor: In two flavors! Regular, and now mint! Buy now!
Bass: See what I mean?

Spider-Man: You've already used kryptonite in a few of your movies. Shouldn't you move on to something different?
Superman: Oh, it's different this time. This time we have a whole MOUNTAIN of kryptonite!

Gold is lethal to Cybermen? What a rubbish weakness! Why do they even need a weakness? Doing this reduces from formidable mock humans to super hero villains that can be swiped down by their Achilles Heel. It's like saying throwing a bucket of water over the Daleks could finish them off…so they want to wreak havoc on Ocean World!
A young girl is possessed by a devil, and Constantine shouts, 'I need a mirror! Now! At least three feet high!' He can capture the demon in the mirror and throw it out the window, see, although you wonder why supernatural beings would have such low-tech security holes.
Every vampire story has different rules, of course. In the Dark universe, for example, the super-secret weakness of vampires is bullets. And cunningly, the security guards of the world all carry guns, having figured out that your Achilles Heel is any kind of physical damage whatsoever.
In a fight against Juggernaut and Cassidy in their spacious castle basement, Cassidy mentions the word 'tomb' to the X-Men. That's all it took to send Storm into a claustrophobic fit that leaves her in a heap on the floor for three straight issues. Imagine if he would have said 'Small Closet' or 'Size 2 Jeans.'

Power Girl: Do either of you know where I can get some Kryptonite?
Lois Lane: I don't think so. I mean, Kryptonite is pretty rare. Every time Superman found a chunk of it, he wrapped it up in lead and threw it into space.
Power Girl: Just great. And there's no way of tracking where those chunks are, right now. If this was Earth-One, I could find the stuff within half an hour. It's practically as common as coal in that universe.
Jimmy Olsen: Not that common, Ms. Kara. But there's a lot more of it over there than there is here, from what Superman told me. It must be rough, being a Kryptonian over there.

Batman: Well, what good are powers if their weaknesses outweigh them tenfold?
Superman: Here we go again with the Kryptonite. Bruce, it's a very rare stone.
Batman: Rare my ass, everyone has one, Clark. A purse snatcher I stopped the other day had like three of them!
Superman: Weeell, I admit it's become a bit of a problem...
Batman: It used to just be the green one, but now there's all these other ones. There's the red one, the black one...the pink one?
Superman: We don't talk about the pink one...

Grenrok's Law: As a Superman storyline continues, the chance of a villain acquiring Kryptonite approaches 1.
