Blue Kryptonite was a variant of Kryptonite with varying properties.
History
Pre-Crisis
Blue Kryptonite was created using the Duplicator Ray on a piece of Green Kryptonite which Superman used to halt an army of advancing Bizarros. Blue kryptonite only affected Bizarros and was harmless to humans and Kryptonians.[1]
Post-Crisis
Blue kryptonite was the opposite to the more common green variety and made Kryptonian-based Bizarros highly intelligent, a process that scared them.
Post-Infinite Crisis
Blue kryptonite caused Bizarro pain much like green kryptonite crippling Superman.
Prime Earth
An enemy from the Anti-Superman Army dubbed the Blue K-Man stated that his kryptonite radiation wavelength was cancerous to the soul. Xa-Du, the Phantom King, recoiled out of fear while in the Kryptonite Man's presence because he was an ethereal being from the Phantom Zone, and blue kryptonite radiation caused spiritual death.[2]

Blue kryptonite suppressed Clark's powers, at least for a time. During the effects, Clark was also immune to the symptoms of green kryptonite. The blue kryptonite was forged into Jor-El's victory ring which was presented to him when he first became a member of the Kryptonian Science Council. Clark's resurrected mother, Lara Lor-Van, gave him the victory ring while explaining that it was a Kryptonian tradition to pass the victory ring onto the firstborn son when he came of age. Unknown to her, the ring had been a trap set by Zor-El to strip Clark of his powers. Blue kryptonite was used to overload and kill Bizarro.[3]
