Revealing mistake: When Clark has the Kryptonite and uses it against Zor-El in the fortress, Zor-El climbs upon a flat surface or hard ice for support. As he gets onto the surface, it shakes like a soft prop. (00:30:20)

Question: Throughout the series, people mutate fairly soon after their exposure to kryptonite. Is it ever explained how Lana has managed to wear a piece of kryptonite around her neck for 12 years and not change?






Answer: The kryptonite only creates mutations when it reacts with the environment and an individual. Remember, the FDA and several environmental groups did check out Smallville after the meteor shower, but found no danger in the rocks. Obviously they're not always emitting mutating rays, or all the flora and fauna of the surrounding area would be horribly mutated.
