Kryptomites are sentient mineral lifeforms created by Lena Luthor using a combination of Kryptonite dust - surreptitiously taken from Supergirl's Kryptonian Rocket - and alien technology.
History
Kryptomites are short creatures, looking like jagged flat rocks with eyes, a mouth and rudimentary limbs. Yet they are surprisingly quick and nimble, and their stumpy, fingerless hands do not preclude them from operating heavy machinery.
Kryptomites are extremely mischievous creatures who love wreaking havoc and creating chaos purposelessly, particularly if they are making some super-hero's life harder. They are also intelligent enough to work with others, operate advanced machines, and understand human idioms. They have apparently even developed their own language, though it sounds like gibberish to everyone but Lena Luthor.
There are many varieties from differently-colored Kryptomites due to their origins: green, red, blue, yellow, orange and purple. Nevertheless, their bodies' radiation also have effects on humans, albeit not on Tamaraneans.
Despite their intelligence, abilities and mischieviousness, they are loyal to Lena Luthor. Lena has admitted that she manufactured them because she does not manage to find henchmen who are able to put up with her.[1]
