I would note that nowhere in KC (maybe in an annotated edition or some comment waid made outside of the book itself? But that still wouldn't be "in canon" officially, since it's not on the page) does it say that KC superman is immune to Kryptonite. The only remark on it in the book is someone suggesting that they could solve the problem by "dropping a k bomb on his spitcurl", to which Luthor replied that Kryptonite didn't have the same effect it did in the good old days. Thanks to the solar radiation his cells have been guzzling all these years, he's at the peak of his invulnerability.
So. Kryptonite doesn't have the same effect it used to, but nothing says it has none.
From that we could infere that KC Spes is no longer affected right?
I know it does not say stricktly "he is no longer affeced" but in can be easily read as such
The Kryptonite Man is a "silver bullet" charactor meaning Superman is especially vulnerable to this figure. Several charactors use the name Superman and it's much easier just to make it a blanket power than to exclude the several obvious charactors who use the name.
Well, nobody's answered the repeated question, so I'll rephrase it: has someone spoiled a dial so that we have an indication that this is how K-Man works, or is this just someone flying off the handle again?

Even if you're right about K-Man having a power that affects characters named Superman, it still won't have any affect on Cyborg Superman and Superman Prime since neither one of those is named Superman.

And what Earth the Kryptonite is from doesn't matter...what matters is what color it is...the reason KC Superman and E-2 Superman aren't effected by kryptonite is because they've absorbed so much yellow sun that it doesn't drain them fast enough to hurt them in a fight...
yes it does matter what earth(universe) the Kryptonite is from.
That is why Superman-Prime is immune to it since there is none from his earth he does not worry about it.

The Sizzle Sheet leaked a few weeks ago mentions the Kryptonite Man as a "silver bullet" figure. He's since been confirmed, so we have no reason not to believe the sheet.

No. He is immune to it because he is NOT Kryptonian...his parents were named Kent, so they named him Clark as a joke...he has nothing to do with Superman other than the namesake.
How much can you take, and keep moving forward?
The Green Lantern Corps is DC's version of the US Marine Corps.
Superboy-Prime is a Kryptonian. His Krypton was swallowed up by a super nova though, so his universe didn't have Kryptonite at all, so radiation specialists couldn't channel up Earth-Prime Kryptonite.
Superboy-Prime is from the parallel world known as Earth-Prime, a near-copy of the real world in which the DC heroes are fictional comic book characters. He is the adopted son of Jerry and Naomi Kent. Naomi wanted to name their infant son Clark, after her maiden name, but Jerry, knowing he will also be named like Superman, a fictional comic book character, initially refused, but finally gave in. What the Kents do not know is that the baby, found abandoned in a forest, is actually a young Kal-El, who has been teleported to Earth moments before the planet Krypton was absorbed when its sun went supernova. His father Jor-El had teleported him to Earth. Superboy is the second extraterrestrial from Earth-Prime after the debut of Ultraa several years before.
And what Earth the Kryptonite is from doesn't matter...what matters is what color it is...the reason KC Superman and E-2 Superman aren't effected by kryptonite is because they've absorbed so much yellow sun that it doesn't drain them fast enough to hurt them in a fight...
Actually that is not correct. In Infinite Crisis it was mentioned that Power Girl is not affected by K because of her Earth-2 origin.

Hmm... so you're just assuming from the Sizzle Sheet. Let's go ahead and see what we're basing this off of:

So no, we don't know how it's going to work exactly.
No. He is immune to it because he is NOT Kryptonian...his parents were named Kent, so they named him Clark as a joke...he has nothing to do with Superman other than the namesake.
Sigh , read infinite crisis when batman pulls out kryptonite on E2 superman and he says kryptonite from your earth doesnt effect me. This is old news and has been established for a while now.

Of course, arguably that's not true, anyway, seeing as how all three Supermen later land on a kryptonite-covered Mogo. Yes, they're getting hit with red sunlight...but if the kryptonite was having no effect on Superboy-Prime whatsoever, you'd think that the main Earth Superman would be too weak to do anything to Prime, as he'd be getting hit with kryptonite and red sunlight, while Prime was just getting hit with the red sunlight.
It's all a bit daft to think that kryptonite from an alternate universe won't affect kryptonians. That'd be like Batman strutting into the heart of a nuclear reactor on Earth-2 without any adverse effects.
Or, heck. Stepping into a bonfire because it's from an alternate dimension. It's all a bit silly.

True, but both E2 superman and superman(boy) prime both state in infinite crisis and sinestro corps war (prime) that the E1 kryptonite has no effect on them.....are they lying idk but thats what they say.
