Kryptonian

Kryptonians are a humanoid alien race originating from the planet Krypton.

Powers and Abilities[]

Under their native red sun, affected by Krypton's mass, Kryptonians possess physical attributes similar to normal humans. However, when exposed to solar radiation from a yellow sun, Kryptonians gain superhuman abilities that greatly surpass those of humans:

When Kryptonian's first come to earth and if they are already familiar with acquiring their native powers, they display four key abilities that appear to be the easiest to control: Super strength, Super speed, invulnerability and flight. More experienced Kryptonian's then learn to control their other abilities and some that they don't know about.

Powers[]

Kryptonian (Solar Humanoid Aliens) Physiology: Kryptonian cellular structure is much more dense, resilient, and biologically more effective than human tissue. They do not possess superhuman strength levels despite their enhanced cellular ability without their cellular structure charged with yellow solar energy. Without such charging, their physical capabilities are identical to a human of their height and weight who engages in regular physical activity. As aliens, they possesses several organs whose functions are not yet disclosed or understood, but are believed to be part of or the source of their bio-matrix force field and reclamation aura. Kryptonians' bodies also store energy actively within their bio-cellular matrix as an energy pattern which is linked to their body's electromagnetic field. This energy powers most of their electromagnetic capabilities such as flight, heat vision and other "sight"-based abilities while supplementing their physical abilities to superhuman levels.
- Solar Radiation/Energy Absorption / Solar Battery (Variation of Absorption): Kryptonians' cells absorb yellow solar energy, and this in turn, fuel sall of their powers and abilities. Their cells also store solar energy as well, allowing them to retain their powers under roofed structures or even at night, although they eventually need a yellow sun to recharge their powers. Kryptonians can also absorb solar energies of other class stars.

Abilities[]

Super Intellect / Genius-level intellect: Kryptonians are proven to be thousands of centuries ahead of humanity in intellectualism. Kara stated that advanced calculus was taught in preschool, and even then it was an easy subject. They are able to quickly gasp and understand technology which is not Kryptonian.
- Accelerated Thought Process
- Instant Learning
- Enhanced mental capacity: Kryptonian minds are noticeably more advanced and efficient compared to most humans. Their exceptional intellect works even at computational levels. As noted by Kara, advanced calculus was taught in preschool, and even then it was an easy subject. So extremely fast and sharp, they have perfect memory and recall. They can assimilate, perceive, comprehend, and calculate the mechanics of any and all information, including new languages and technology in very short periods of time. From this, they can learn lifetimes worth of knowledge and academics within days and no loss of information. They can also use the information to cross-correlate and multitask with no problems.

Vulnerabilities[]

Super-powered Kryptonians are vulnerable to kryptonite, highly radioactive fragments of their home world. They are also vulnerable to different types of kryptonite, having different effects.

Kryptonians have a vulnerability to other alien species who have similar or superior power levels; an attack or very advanced alien devices can penetrate a Kryptonians otherwise invulnerable body.

Kryptonians also have a vulnerability to magic, and to the mental and physical powers of certain metahumans.

Kryptonians are also vulnerable to metal from Krypton. They can be cut or stabbed with ease without the need of enhanced physical strength.

Kryptonite: A radioactive piece of their home world, Kryptonians are vulnerable to radiation it emits. The effects are almost instantaneous, which result in slow and painful power loss, which will result in death if exposed for prolonged periods.
- Green Kryptonite: Kryptonians exposed to green Kryptonite, will become weakened and dizzy within close proximity or by being pierced by weapons laced with the element. Its radiation removes their invulnerability and leaving them weaker than humans. Green Kryptonite weakens their physical attributes, leaving them vulnerable to weapons and anything in general that can kill a normal human, while mere prolonged exposure can be enough to kill them.
  - Physical Negation
  - Anti-Power Artillery / Slayer Weaponry / Radiation Weapon
  - Greater Damage Effectivity
  - Aversion
  - Healing Factor Nullification
- Red Kryptonite: Unlike the common green Kryptonite known for draining and potentially killing a Kryptonian, red Kryptonite doesn't have this ability. This type strips any Kryptonian exposed to it of their inhibitions. Example of this is if a Kryptonian usually never murders or steals, this will cause them to act without fail. Once it's been removed however, they usually revert back to their former selves.
  - Corruption Inducement
  - Inhibition Release
- Blue Kryptonite: A reversal of green Kryptonite, blue Kryptonite has no real effect on a Kryptonian, however it does have the same effect on Bizarro as green Kryptonite does on any other Kryptonian. It's effects on Bizarro remained, but also stripped any Kryptonian of their powers, but made them immune to the effects of green kryptonite. It also enhanced the heal of any human exposed to it.
  - Humanization
- Magno-Kryptonite: A form of Kryptonite capable of pulling anything of Kryptonian origin to it. Even the strength of Superman or Bizarro are incapable of breaking from it's grasp.
- Gold Kryptonite: A rare form of Kryptonite, gold causes any Kryptonian exposed to it to be permanently stripped of their powers, making them as normal as a human.
  - Healing Erasure
- Black Kryptonite: Another rare form of Kryptonite, black causes a Kryptonian's personality to become split between both a good and evil side.
  - Ying & Yang Separation
  - Replication
- Silver Kryptonite: Another rare form of kryptonite comes in the form of silver. This version, rather than restore the powers of a Kryptonian exposed to gold kryptonite, it actually can cause them to begin hallucinating and become mentally unstable.
  - Paranoia Inducement
- Pink Kryptonite: Another rare form comes in pink. Originally, pink kryptonite caused Kryptonians exposed to it to begin having homosexual tendencies. When Superman was exposed to a piece of it, this caused him to actually change his gender into that of a woman with no other side effects.
  - Sexuality Manipulation
- Anti-Kryptonite: Another rare form of Kryptonite, Anti-Kryptonite has the same effect on non-superpowered Kryptonians as green Kryptonite has on superpowered Kryptonians.
- Unobtainium Manipulation
- Regeneration Reduction
- Lesser Effectiveness
Magic: Kryptonian invulnerability offers no protection against magic-based attacks. This is due to their bio-matrix incapable of processing the chaotic nature of the energy magic gives off.
Solar energy depletion: Using a power like heat vision to its maximum for an extended period can significantly drain solar energy to the point where a super-powered Kryptonian loses all of his/her powers and is rendered more humans like for at least a day. This renders them as weak as normal humans, allowing them to get injured and killed as easy as killing an Earth creature.
- Red Sun Energy: Because they evolved under a red sun, Kryptonians possess none of their abilities under it. So long as they are exposed to the energy, they are as normal as any human.
- Solar Energy Dependency: Kryptonians need to maintain their exposure to solar energy to maintain their powers, otherwise their powers will fade.
Beings of Equal Power - Beings of comparable incalculable superhuman might, such as other Kryptonians, can generate enough force that can knock out, injure and even kill Kryptonians, breaking through their invulnerability without the need of kryptonite.
- Metahumans: Though they can withstand a great deal of abuse, Kryptonians are not invincible to certain metahumans. These beings usually have strength that can match and even surpass a Kryptonian's.
Lead: A Kryptonian's x-ray vision can see through virtually any element with the exception of lead. Ironically enough, lead is their only defense against Kryptonite radiation.
Psionics: Most Kryptonians no matter how powerful they may be, are highly vulnerable to psychic effects. Such as Telepathy, Telekinesis, Illusion Projection and the like. Max Lord was able to trick Superman into believing that Batman and Wonder Woman were both Doomsday with Mind Control, while the Kryptonian clone He'l managed to fray Superboy's genetic structure by pulling it apart with advanced Telekinesis.
Vulnerability to Variable Irradiation: Certain radiological frequencies could hamper a Kryptonian's physical ability to harness and circulate solar radiation. As was the case when surviving a nuclear blast left Kal-El physically emaciated and trying to heal via solar energy caused him agony. Or when Vandal Savage implemented similar tactics to weaken both him and his cousin Kara by bathing their cells in a specialized radioactive isotope that impeded their cellular matrix's capacity to absorb and repurpose yellow sunlight.
Vulnerability to Chi: Lex Luthor and Question argued that, because of Kryptonians' solar based powers, planetary based esoteric and vital forces could have an opposite effect on them. Luthor posited that concentrated doses of such energies could severely cripple a Kryptonian and become fatal, and he attempted to exploit this weakness with the Science Spire, which tapped into the energies.
Phantom Zone: Kryptonians imprisoned within the inter dimensional prison, known as the "Phantom Zone" usually don't have powers they would under a yellow sun, as there is no yellow sun in the zone that they can absorb energy. There is one exception however, which is Doomsday, who actually doesn't need the sun for his powers and has been able to free himself from the zone. Also if they have a form of artificial yellow sunlight within the phantom zone, they will be able to utilize their powers and abilities.
High-frequencies: Though considered a strength, a Kryptonian's hearing does have its disadvantages. Since their hearing is more sensitive than a normal human's, higher pitch noises (sonic screams, etc.) can disorient them and cause pain in their ears, leaving them vulnerable in a fight. Therefore, enemies with sound-based powers, like Silver Banchee can potentially be powerful enough to cause a Kryptonian's ears to bleed.
- Sound-dampening technology: The D.E.O. designed frequencies to block super-hearing and cause Kryptonian's slight pain when trying to use it in areas protected by the technology.
Extreme energy: Extreme amounts of energy, such as the energy from the Reactron suit or Livewire's electricity, while she is at her peak, can be enough to kill a Kryptonian.
- Solar energy overload: An extremely rare occurrence that is only known to affect one Kryptonian, who, apparently, has absorbed such tremendous amount of solar energy, that it became poisonous to one and eventually caused a Kryptonian to literally explode. Absorbing from the blue sun is okay, but if absorbing it too much of it then it can have severe consequences.
Alien technology: Alien weapons, technology, and metals such as Vartox's axe, the Master Jailer armor, or the mind control orb used by the Dominators, can be used against them to breach a Kryptonian's invulnerability, and therefore, to potentially harm and kill them.

Language[]

The Kryptonian language is an alien language filled with hieroglyphics and shapes that can be read by its people. The Kryptonian language is referred to as "Kryptonian". Written Kryptonian is made up two separate writing systems: an alphabet and a logographic writing system.

The Kryptonian alphabet is a transliteration of the English alphabet. Like the English alphabet, it has 26 letters; it also has 10 numbers, corresponding to the ten Arabic numerals. Each Kryptonian letter corresponds to an English letter, and every Kryptonian number corresponds to an Arabic numeral.

Kryptonian logograms often combine letters in the Kryptonian alphabet into a single character.

Survivors[]

Virtually all Kryptonians perished when Krypton was destroyed. However, there have been known to be a few survivors who escaped the planet's destruction, by either being in a spaceship or in the Phantom Zone.

In a spaceship[]

Kal-El - survived because his parents sent him to Earth in a spacecraft. After learning of his true origins, Kal-El assumed that he was the last son of Krypton.
Kara Zor-El - survived by being sent to Earth by her father, Zor-El, in a ship
Jor-El as an artificial entity - The brainwaves of Kal-El's father traveled to Earth stored in Kal-El's ship, allowing the creation of the artificial entity known as Jor-El.

In the Phantom Zone[]

General Zod - survived by being sent to the Phantom Zone before its dsetruction
Non - sentanced in the Phantom Zone along with General Zod.
Faora - Was sent to the Phantom Zone on Krypton.

Kryptonian devices, artifacts, and sacred areas[]

Brainiac - Krypton's corrupted super computer survived by uploading itself into the Black Ship.
Kal-El's ship - The spaceship that brought Kal-El to Earth.
Fortress of Solitude - A monument to Krypton and Kal-El's hideaway on earth.
