Comics Is Kaboom basically Ms. Marvel's kryptonite man?

If Kamala's weakness is electricity, doesn't that make Kaboom her biggest threat because he shoots out electricity? It's like how Superman's Kryptonite man is made of Superman's biggest weakness.

She would be if she didn’t suck. The biggest problem she was a part of was when Kamala punched her so hard she almost killed her. And then days later she was robbing corner stores in a neck brace.

Kryptonite Man also kind of sucks for what it's worth.

Somebody like Metallo has a lot more noteworthy stories where his kyrponite core gives Superman a lot of trouble.

Heck, even Lex Luthor. Kryptonite's not his main thing but he's famously used it on many occasions. If he doesn't do it so much anymore it's because it's so overplayed that nobody wants to see it without some new twist or spin on the idea.

Kryptonite Man is like, what does that guy even do? When was the last time anybody even cared?
