Rao (DC Extended Universe)

Rao is a red dwarf star in the 2013 film Man of Steel
== Role in the film ==
Estimated to be an thirteen-billion-old red dwarf, Rao is believed to have been among the first stars to have formed after the universe was created. Prior to Krypton's destruction, Rao was worshipped as the physical manifestation of Kryptonians' most celebrated god, whom was also named Rao, the sun god of life and light. Due to being several times smaller than a star like Sol, Earth's sun, Rao's habitable zone is much closer to the star itself, causing it to appear so massive on Kyrpton's landscape.
In 1980 General Zod organized the Sword of Rao, a paramilitary organization that sought to overthrow the Council of Krypton. The organization being named in honor of Krypton's sun and its chief god.
Like the comics, the star affects superman's powers because of the weaker radioactivity that it emits from it's red color compared to a yellow sun like Earth's.
