Alura In-Ze

**Alura In-Ze** is a Kryptonian scientist and one of the surviving members of the late planet Krypton, as well as current resident of Kandor. She is the wife of Zor-El and mother to Kara Zor-El.

## **Origins**

Alura was born and raised on the planet Krypton. She would grow up to become a member of the Kryptonian Science Guild and was almost the perfect scientist. This was due to her knowledge of suppressing her emotions and working with many forms of mathematics. Despite this, Alura's emotional suppression would weaken when she met and fell in love with artist Zor-El, the brother of Kryptonian scientist, Jor-El. It was Zor-El who showed her the beauty in many things and after, the couple would marry and were blessed with a daughter named Kara Zor-El.

It was during the final days of Krypton, that Brainiac arrived and bottled up Kandor before leaving the planet, as he knew it's impending doom. At the same time, Jor-El would make plans for his family's survival, as did Zor-El. Both he and Alura worked and experimented with a robot left there by Brainiac, attempting to master his technology. They managed to save Argo City from the destruction of Krypton, which remained in another dimension for several years.

With Argo City saved from the destruction of the planet, the remaining Kryptonians began making their way to Earth in order to reunite with Kal-El. This changed however when Brainiac sensed that his technology was being used by The remaining Kryptonians, resulting him seeking them out. Alura and Zor-El knew that Brainiac wouldn't spare Argo City, so they placed their daughter in a rocket and sent it for Earth. Brainiac however merged these Kryptonians with those already captured with Kandor, then rid himself of Kryptonians he dubbed as "Redundant". Since then, Alura and Zor-El remained prisoners of Brainiac for the next several years.

## **Powers & Abilities**

* **Kryptonian Physiology:** Hailing from the late planet Krypton, Alura's physiology under a yellow sun gifts her with extraordinary powers which she uses to protect the innocent.
	+ **Solar Energy Absorption:** Alura's natural physiology gives her cells that can absorb large amounts of solar radiation from both yellow and blue suns which give her powers. Whenever she needs to replenish her energy, Alura can simply absorb the ultraviolet rays of the sun.
	+ **Invulnerability:** Alura's biological make up is extraordinarily dense which is due to the fact that environment Kryptonians are naturally from are denser than that of Earth's. Under the effects of a yellow sun, her body is virtually impervious to physical damage as well as bullets, lasers, etc.
	+ **Superhuman Strength:** As Alura possesses an extraordinarily dense molecular structure, her muscles are also known to be far stronger than that of a normal human. This gives her the ability to lift an indeterminate amount of weight over her head.
	+ **Superhuman Healing:** Though she possesses virtual invulnerability, Alura has been known to sustain damage from certain beings. If however she does receive injuries that her invulnerability cannot protect her from, she can heal at a speed faster than that of a normal human being.
	+ **Superhuman Senses:** Alura's senses are known to be far superior than that of a normal human being.
		- **Telescopic Vision:** Alura's eyes are known to give her the ability to see things from a great distance.
		- **Microscopic Vision:** Alura's eyes are capable of seeing things far smaller than a normal human eye can allow, such as germs and even nanobots.
		- **Superhuman Hearing:** One of the most iconic of her abilities, Alura's hearing is known to be far greater than a normal human's. She is capable of hearing things from miles away and even capable of listening to frequencies that only dogs can hear.
		- **Superhuman Smell:** Alura's sense of smell gives him the ability to detect all forms of odors on the entire planet.
	+ **X-Ray Vision:** Alura's most iconic power is her ability to see through virtually every known solid object.
	+ **Flight:** While on Earth and planets similar, Alura has the ability to manipulate gravitons which enable her to defy the laws of gravity which normal people cannot accomplish.
	+ **Heat Vision:** Alura's absorption of solar energy gives her the ability to channel it through her eyes which produce beams of intense heat from them. She can make the beams visible or invisible.
	+ **Longevity:** As an alien lifeform, Alura's healing factor and invulnerability give her a far slower aging process than that of a normal human being.
	+ **Super Breath:** Alura's powerful lungs can intake tons of air which she exhales from her mouth to produce hurricane force winds. She can also apply the same power by pressing her lips to produce winds with sub-zero temperatures and therefore freeze objects

## **Weaknesses**

* **Kryptonite:** A radioactive mineral from Krypton, Kryptonite is known to be a weak spot for Alura, as it is capable of draining her of her powers and eventually kill her upon prolonged exposure.
* **Magic:** Despite her biomatrix capable of protecting her from virtually any kind of damage, the chaotic nature of magic is capable of causing her harm, as her biology possesses no natural defense.
* **Red Sun:** Under the natural sun of Krypton, Alura possesses no special abilities. Exposure to the radiation will negate her powers until she can expose herself to energy from a yellow sun.
* **Lead:** Though not a weakness for her like it is for a Daxamite, Alura's x-ray vision cannot penetrate lead.

## **Personality & Traits**

Alura is a kind woman and very wise, despite her age. She is very loving and unlike most of her Kryptonian brethren aside from Superman and Supergirl, is more acceptant of other beings.
