Silver Age Comic Trivia VI

Green Kryptonite was deadly to Kryptonians, Red Kryptonite caused temporary unpredictable changes in any Kryptonian exposed to it, and Gold Kryptonite would take away any Kryptonian's superpowers permanently... but what effect did Blue Kryptonite have on Kryptonians?

Yesterday's Answer: Frederick Foswell, a reporter for the Daily Bugle, was revealed to be the Big Man, leader of the criminal group, the Enforcers (the Ox again, Fancy Dan and Montana). Spider-Man caught the Big Man and discovered who he was, after which Foswell went to prison and served his time. Upon his release, he reformed and was re-hired by J Jonah Jameson at the Bugle, and created a new secret identity as "Patch", an informer who'd hang out in underworld dives and then tip off the police about planned criminal activity.

Doesn't blue kryptonite affect Bizarro Superman the same way green kryptonite affects Superman?

(Another colour wheel question!)

Blue is Bizarro Kryptonite! It has the opposite impact of Green.
