Bizarro: I need to kiII him. When I get near Green Kryptonite, I drain him of his power. You're making this seem harder to interpret than it really is, in my opinion. Bizarro is making a very simple statement. "When I get near Green Kryptonite, I use it to drain Superman of his powers."

He's OK with blue kryptonite. Clive Yeah, if by OK you mean with no powers! And the Phantom uses the Green Kryptonite to get stronger since everything affects him and Clark the opposite way. While Clark weakens close to the green one the Phantom gets as twice as strong. So let's get this straight. You guys are sure he means he's gonna drain Clark of his powers and not the Green K? If he meant the kryptonite he would put it like this 'When I get near Green K, I drain him of its powers' right?http://www.englishforums.com/English/DrainHim/gndhh/post.htm#566089Fri, 27 Feb 2009 01:34:59 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:566089Clive3http://www.englishforums.com/English/DrainHim/gndhh/post.htm#566089http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments29-566089.xmlHi GG, It depends on the colour.
