Warning! Contains spoilers for War for Earth-3 #2!
If Superman and his evil version Ultraman ever fought, the fight might be decided in a truly disgusting way. Superman is one of the most powerful figures in DC Comics, but he has some very well-known weaknesses. The foremost among them is kryptonite, the mineral remains of his destroyed home world.

He rules over that dimension with an iron fist, killing anyone who displeases him without a second thought. In addition to being Superman’s opposite in terms of morality, he also is the opposite in terms of weaknesses. Green kryptonite actually gives Ultraman his powers instead of weakening him. And as is revealed in the crossover event War for Earth-3, kryptonite is even directly built into his bodily functions.
