Kryptonians

In most of their incarnations, Kryptonians have been displayed as a very technologically advanced race though their space program was extremely limited. In most of their incarnations, they also didn't display any superpowers. Their red sun Rao suppressed the superhuman potential that the Kryptonians had. Very few Kryptonians survived the destruction of Krypton. Most of the survivors ended up on the planet Earth. Their numbers have been largely increased by clones, humans who have been spliced with Kryptonian DNA, and alternate reality counterparts from different Kryptons. Recently however, Kal-El was able to rescue the true Kryptonian city of Kandor from Brainiac. With a total of 100,000 Kryptonians rescued and set up on Earth, the future for the species is looking brighter than it has in ages. In the future of Earth Prime, it had shown that Kryptonian survivors have populated the isolationist planet of Rokyn in a red sun solar system. Krypton had a great civilization based on a planet whose ecosystem and very energies were self-destructive. On their own planet, the Kryptonians were nothing like humanity and crystal life populated the forests. The Kryptonian bodies were as flawed as their planet was. Because of a religious taboo against leaving their home-world, only a few Kryptonians left the homeworld before Krypton was dying as their planet. On Earth, the Kryptonian bodies would cure themselves of any disease. They would also gain powers that they never dreamed of on Krypton. The Kryptonians may look similar to humans, but their DNA is entirely different, as shown when Cadmus cloned Superman to create Superboy; they could not create a true clone, and instead created a human facsimile

Basic Information[]

Lifespan[]

Decelerated Aging -The Earth's yellow sun radiation allows any Kryptonian to live longer than a normal human being. They are, however, not immortal, meaning they age slower than a human does.

Conservation Status[]

When Krypton was destroyed, it was thought that the entire Kryptonian race was destroyed. Several survivors of Krypton have been discovered since.

Scientific Name	Krypto Sapien
Average height	2.1 Meters
Average weight	55-90 kg

Anatomy & Morphology[]

Kryptonians are basically humans in their structure and appearance, but their biology is far more advanced than that of Earth-based humans where they are able to utilize energy in their body with far more direct and elaborate manners than Earth-based humans do. The source of their immense energy metabolizing abilities lies in their cells which are said to be the greatest organic power storage units in the known galaxy.

Solar Energy Absorption[]

As Kryptonians, their cells function like a super battery, hyper metabolizing specific wavelengths of radiation as fuel to enable living functions and/or superhuman abilities. Different wavelengths of radiation have different effects on Kryptonian physiology and well being, but their cells cannot absorb or utilize all types of radiation. The wavelength of their home solar system's red sun enables their body to function on an identical level of a healthy human while the Earth's solar radiation in both its raw and filtered state through the Earth's atmosphere acts as fuel to enable all of their powers. Every time Kryptonians use any of their superhuman abilities, their bodies expend absorbed sunlight and they are capable of utilizing any of them to various degrees through controlled circumstances. The solar-based radiation of a foreign blue star proved to increase their known abilities under a yellow sun to a higher degree and enabled additional powers. The existence and constant exposure to proven "healthy" radiation sources are not required for them to live and utilize their powers, but prolonged periods without exposure to them and/or utilizing their powers will require them to recharge in order to live and continue using their powers.

Regenerative Healing Factor[]

Even if Kryptonians are somehow injured, they have a rapid healing factor.

Invulnerability[]

Their bodies are nigh-invulnerable due to their superhumanly dense cellular and anatomical structure as well as their radiating bio-electrical aura. Kryptonians are under some circumstances resistant or immune to different forms and levels of lacerations, blunt force trauma, energy-based assaults, falls from great heights, explosions, the cold void of space, toxins and all known diseases on Earth. Their supercharged bio-electric "aura" acts as an invisible "force field" radiating within a few millimeters from their skin. They can willfully utilize their aura strengthening it's power to a greater degree to provide an additional defense against certain levels of physical and energy attacks for a considerably short period of time, but doing so can endanger them should the attempted feat prove inefficient for any reason. Kryptonians utilize their aura by expanding it around a person(s) or object(s) to enable their structural stability when lifting or traveling with them. Kryptonians' invulnerability has been in constant fluctuation over the years. They have been shown surviving the blast of nuclear warheads, entering the Earth's sun and emerging unharmed and surviving the impact of an exploding sun.

Weaknesses[]

The Kryptonians also have weaknesses such as the exposure to various forms of Kryptonite, magic, high sound frequency, and advanced weaponry such as the gravity gun and other types of technology.

Kryptonite[]

Various forms of Kryptonite can affect the physiology of Kryptonians. Green Kryptonite can affect the Kryptonians and gives them pain. The green Kryptonite acts like a radiation exposure that can kill a Kryptonian in long periods of time. Red Kryptonite can remove the inhibitions of Kryptonians which would make them dangerous. It can also affect the Kryptonian's actions while they are using their powers. Clark Kent was seen using red Kryptonite in various forms where he becomes evil and his actions couldn't be controlled. Blue Kryptonite can strip off the Kryptonians' powers temporarily. The blue kryptonite also acts as a radiation exposure that can affect Superman's imperfect clone, Bizarro. Black Kryptonite is used to split a personality from a Kryptonian or a human. Gold Kryptonite can be used to damage a Kryptonian even though it can kill them. The gold Kryptonite can also strip off Kryptonian's powers permanently.

Magic[]

Various forms of magic can affect the Kryptonians. Including Black Adam and Captain Marvel's magic powers.

Advanced Technology[]

Gravity guns can be developed to change the gravity of Kryptonians which causes their weight to slow down. Sonic weapons or devices can also cause a Kryptonian great pain, making their ears to bleed.

Red Solar Energy[]

Kryptonians gains part of their power from the Earth's yellow sun. If deprived of all Sunlight or are placed within the vicinity of a Red sun, the Kryptonians lose all of their powers.

Telepathy[]

Kryptonians are vulnerable to telepathic attack.

Biological Traits[]

The Kryptonians' physiology were entirely different from humans even though they look human. Due to the effects of the Earth's yellow sun, the Kryptonians became like Gods having various powers. The Kryptonians never had powers when they lived on Krypton due to their red sun.

Enhanced Breath[]

Kryptonians can create whirlwinds due to their massive lung capacity by forcefully exhaling.

Flight[]

The Kryptonians were able to alter their gravity when charged with yellow sun radiation.

Heat Vision[]

Kryptonians are able to produce rays of extreme heat from their eyes.

Supernatural Strength[]

The exact limits of Kryptonians strength are unknown, but they are capable lifting far in excess of 100 tons. Different periods and intensities of exposure to Earth's solar radiation can cause their strength to fluctuate over time. Kryptonians' known feats include lifting an enormous pyramid and flying it to Mars without any strain and having the strength necessary to shatter small planets. Unhealthy levels of high exposure to specific radiation can exceed Kryptonians' "normal" strength level.

Supernatural Speed[]

Kryptonians can travel faster than a speeding bullet or train. Although they cannot achieve the Flash's time travel ability, they can travel to different locations on Earth in an instant and traverse the galaxy within a matter of hours.

Supernatural Stamina[]

Kryptonians can survive in the deep reaches of space.

Dietary needs and habits[]

Self-Sustenance[]

Kryptonians do not need to eat or sleep (but are still capable of doing so) and don't require oxygen to breathe, enabling them to travel in space and underwater unprotected

Additional Information[]

Social Structure[]

KRYPTONIAN MILITARY GUILD[]

-governs all forms of martial power and military might on the planet and serves as the backbone of Kryptonian conquering authority. It maintains the martial glory of Krypton.

KRYPTONIAN SCIENCE GUILD[]

- governs most forms of technology and science on the planet and houses the race's most ingenious minds. The guild is decried as emotionless but has contributed to the race being a mighty technological power

KRYPTONIAN ARTISTS GUILD[]

- governs all forms of art, design, and creativity and believes the most strongly in the religions of the Krypton besides the Religious Guild.

KRYPTONIAN RELIGIOUS GUILD[]

- the most secretive and reclusive of the guilds which serve as the absolute religious authority on Krypton. The guild is governed by priests which represent all Kryptonian Gods, each in turn representing a guild.

KRYPTONIAN LABOR GUILD[]

- keeps the planet functions running, taking on all and any manual jobs and ordered to serve all the other guilds. They are commonly the unseen masses of Kryptonians that are often overlooked and looked down upon as second class citizens by the other guilds. To further the point, they lack any guild representation. and have no say in society affairs. According to Superman, they are tantamount to glorified slaves

Perception and Sensory capabilities[]

Supernatural Hearing[]

Kryptonians have incredible hearing at extreme variances of sound and pitch frequency, allowing them to pick up noises from across the globe. They have shown enough control to block out ambient sounds to focus on a specific source/frequency.

Enhanced Vision[]

Kryptonians also possess a superior sensory arrangement of visual capabilities.

Telescopic Vision[]

Kryptonians have the ability to see far distances. They can also see throughout the galaxy without using a telescope. It wasn't mentioned how far they can see, though.

Atomic Vision[]

The ability to see extremely small objects and images down to the subatomic level.

X-Ray Vision[]

The ability to see through anything except lead. Since it is passive, this ability would not generate harmful radiation in the same manner as a focused projection of hard X-rays.

Civilization and Culture[]

Average technological level[]

Kryptonian technology and architecture were mostly based on giant self-grown crystals which were very common on their planet and could be used to store information. These structures might have been natural or artificial, or a combination of both. Kryptonian technology was so advanced, that they had the potential to download inscriptions (including all of their knowledge) onto the very electrons of their ships and metals.

Culture and cultural heritage[]

The Kryptonians had two primary culture traits: science and warrior tradition. The political powers on the planet were governed by a council of scientists and warriors (but mostly scientists). Each noble Kryptonian family (or "House") was symbolized by particular symbols which resemble Earth's alphabetical letters (such as "S" for El or "Z" for Zod). The red dwarf star, Rao of Krypton's planetary system was worshiped as a god, but in a more scientific manner than Earth's spiritual religions. Kryptonian dogs were kept as pets by the Kryptonian people, much like Earth dogs are kept as pets by humans. The Kryptonians were a very xenophobic race that hardly ever left their homeworld, making Kal-El (a.k.a. Superman) the only Kryptonian left when the planet exploded.

Common Customs, traditions and rituals[]

Religion[]

The main religion on Krypton is Raoism in which Kryptonians worship the God Rao as their prime God and the progenitor of their race and world. The religion is henotheistic, as it includes lesser gods that are also worshiped by respective Kryptonian guilds in addition to Rao such as Cythonna, Yuda, Nightwing, and Flamebird. A better comparison would be that of Catholicism with Rao as the monotheistic deity surrounded by the lesser gods as "angels".Outside the standard life cycle events of birth, marriage, and death, Kryptonians have no interaction with their clergy and the clergy rarely interacts with the rest of society. Each of the Kryptonian Guilds honors a specific god, Telle (God of Wisdom/Science), Lorra (Goddess of Beauty/Arts), Mordo (God of Strength/Military), Yuda (God of the Moon/Labor), and Cythonna, who is personally honored by the Religious Guild while Rao is honored by all.

Interspecies relations and assumptions[]

Kryptonians were somewhat of a self-promoting and -indulging race and were willing to utilize lethal force to take valuables from other worlds.

Dheronians[]

The planet Dheron, the fifth planet from Krypton's red sun, was one such planet. Every twenty years, the planets were at war over each other's treasures. In an act of revenge, the two races disabled each other's star travel abilities. The Dheronians view themselves as the natural enemies of Kryptonians and are partially responsible both for the destruction of Krypton and the near-extermination of the Kryptonian race.

Daxamites[]

Daxamites are an alien race from the planet Daxam. Their planet, like Krypton, orbits a red sun called Valor and like Kryptonians, Daxamites will gain superpowers when living under a yellow sun. In fact, their powers and abilities are nearly identical to those of Kryptonians. The only difference being that they have no weakness to Kryptonite, and instead are severely weak to Lead. Daxamites are an off-shoot of the Kryptonians. Modern Daxamites are the descendants of an indigenous humanoid race with the Kryptonian colonists.
