Kryptomite (Green) is a fictional villainous substance and, by extension, a collective term for the Green Kryptomite creatures that appear in various DC Comics media, particularly those aimed at younger audiences like the DC Super Hero Girls franchise.

Green Kryptomite isn't a single character, but rather a type of Kryptonite, the radioactive remnants of Superman's home planet, Krypton. This particular variety affects Kryptonians and other beings from Krypton by weakening them and causing various detrimental effects depending on the version. It's often animated into small, mischievous creatures.

In the DC Super Hero Girls universe, Green Kryptomite manifests as these small, green, sentient beings. They are often depicted as pests, causing chaos and disrupting the heroes' plans with their unpredictable powers and generally annoying behavior. They are commonly employed by villains or accidentally unleashed, creating obstacles for the heroes to overcome.

Their powers vary slightly depending on the iteration, but generally include the ability to emit Kryptonite radiation, manipulate objects, and multiply rapidly. Their primary function in the narrative is to present a challenge for the heroes that doesn't involve a traditional physical confrontation, often requiring creative solutions and teamwork to defeat.
