Synopsis for "Tales of Green Kryptonite No. 1"
A sentient piece of Green Kryptonite tells of how it was originally part of an Illium award given to Jor-El for scientific achievement, only to be transformed into a chunk of Kryptonite by the atomic explosion that destroyed Krypton. On Earth, it first endangered Beppo the Super-Monkey, then young Clark, and finally, Superboy, before it was temporarily neutralized by Lex Luthor and thrown to the Arctic by the Boy of Steel.
