the 1970s and 1980s "super friends" animated series featured kryptonite in various episodes. in the episode "rest in peace", sinestro refers to a form of kryptonite called "krypton steel" as "a harmless form of kryptonite that only superman can penetrate". in another episode, "darkseid's goldentrap", gold kryptonite appears, which is stated to have an effective range of 20 ft (6.1 m). blue kryptonite also makes an appearance in an episode entitled "terror from the phantom zone"; superman, aging rapidly from exposure to red kryptonite, acquires a sample of blue kryptonite which had been discovered floating in space. since blue kryptonite harms bizarros, superman reasons that it would help normal kryptonians, and thus uses it to cure himself. in "uncle mxyzptlk", the wonder twins find a red, glowing stone and take it to the hall of justice. they show it to superman, who immediately reacts to it. samurai knocks the red kryptonite to the floor but the effects of the red kryptonite cause superman to decrease in age, becoming a bratty young child. the rest of the super friends refer to the kid as 'super brat'. in another episode, red kryptonite is exposed to superman by bizarro himself, causing superman to transform into a gangly, weak klutz. in yet another episode, red kryptonite causes superman to grow additional arms and legs. most of the action takes place at the "fortress of solitude" where superman finds some blue kryptonite hidden away to fight off bizarro. there were also some cases where just about every criminal or alien conveniently had a piece of kryptonite to weaken superman, aliens who had never heard of superman or giant space children who had jacks made of kryptonite. in the episode, rokan: enemy from space, superman was able to feel radiation by a gigantic chunk on the other side of the world.

this season also saw the introduction of red kryptonite. in the fourth episode of the second season, titled "red", clark buys a high school ring that contains a red kryptonite gem. the effects of the kryptonite were meant to act as a metaphor for drugs. loeb was given the task of writing "red" by gough and millar, and one of the things he decided on was that the ultimate pay off with the kryptonite would be clark finally kissing lana. as tom welling describes it, "with 'red clark' he's "completely" aware of the consequences of his actions at the time, but he doesn't care! he doesn't care what happens to you, and he certainly doesn't care what happens to himself, because he probably realizes that nothing can happen to him. it's always fun to be that way, even in real life, because we're not allowed to be that way all too often." one of the concerns for the episode was whether the audience would embrace the idea of a "bad clark", as ken biller knew that clark would have to be "the villain of the story". fortunately, audiences did embrace the idea and after the good ratings "red" received, the wb requested more episodes with red kryptonite. unfortunately, gough and the crew did not like using it because of the idea of "clark [turning] bad", but the team asked themselves, "what if a friend slips something in your drink and you don’t know it?" this became the basis in "rush", where pete slips a shard of red kryptonite into clark's pocket; it also gave the network what they wanted, but in the form of a single act instead of the entire episode. this element would show up again in the season finale, when clark slips on another red kryptonite ring before riding out of smallville on a motorcycle. according to ken biller, the moment clark goes searching for the kryptonite is the payoff they had wanted with that piece of superman mythology. the show had established that red kryptonite removes clark's inhibitions, and in the season finale, clark is to the point that he is willing to "go 'on drugs' to solve his own pain and [...] guilt about what he's done".
