The **Kryptonians** are an alien race from the planet, Krypton, and are from DC Comics. Superman is a prime example of such beings.

## Physiology

The Kryptonians are physically identical to humans but have better muscle build and slightly taller. However, there are some theories that the Kryptonians might have plant DNA which allows them to absorb sunlight that let's them survive with little to no sustenance according to some fans. Not only the sun gives them sustanence but it also helps them increase their powers which includes heat vision, flight and superhuman abilities. But this would only work in yellow sunlight yet even more intensly in blue sunlight. Red sunlight drains them of all their abilities. Yet under a pulsar or quasar, they become nigh-omnipotent, in other words, nearly god-like.

## Racial Abilities

The Kryptonians have amazing superhuman abilities while under a yellow star or blue star. With enough sunlight absorbed, they can become powerful. Blue stars can increase their powers ten fold while unlocking a totally different power. But under a red sun, they become weak as humans.

### Yellow Sun

* **Invulnerability:** As the Kryptonians absorb energy from a yellow spectrum sun, their molecular structure becomes more and more dense while charging a supercharge bio-electric aura. All of these allow them to become invulnerable to disease, physical harm, and some hazardous particles. This also helps them survive in the vacuum of space. However, they are not invincible to red light energy blasts such as a laser.
* **Superhuman Physiology:**
	+ **Superhuman Intellect:** There have been some theories about Kryptonians possessing more intellect despite being a progressive scientific society when under a yellow sun. Although, there is no canon records of this feat.
	+ **Superhuman Strength:** The more energy they absorb, the more denser their muscles become. Able to lift tons of weight and do it without the aid of machinery. The more they absrob, they more they can lift. Even capable of dragging a planet or demolish the planet.
	+ **Superhuman Speed:** Kryptonians can virtually withstand anything while running at speeds up to 186,000 miles per second and reflex speeds up to 1x10^-18 of a second (0.000000000000000001). This can also apply to flight.
	+ **Superhuman Stamina:** Kryptonians have extraordinary stamina that surpass humans as they can fight for long periods at a time without tiring out. Just as long as they get enough sunlight.
	+ **Superhuman Healing:** The ultraviolet rays of the yellow sun can heal a Kryptonian's wounds within seconds.
	+ **Superhuman Senses:** Kryptonian senses are far greater than that of humans. This includes hearing, smelling, seeing, tasting and feeling.
		- **X-Ray Vision:** Kryptonians have an x-ray vision that lets them see through solid objects and can see right to the bones of living creatures but cannot see through lead, silicone or saline. (May cause cancer if overusing it on living beings in certain areas.)
		- **Microscopic Vision:** Kryptonians can see things on an atomic level. This also doubles as a telescopic vision to see far away objects.
		- **Superhuman Hearing:** They can hear just about anything within miles. Even works in the vacuum of space! ...somehow.
		- **Heat Vision:** After absorbing enough sunlight, they can fire beams of heat from their eyes. However, it requires a great deal of energy. It comes in a form of red lights that are invisible or visible.
		- **Electromagnetic Spectrum Vision:** Kryptonians can see every single spectrum of light. Some say that this allows them to see into your soul, but that's debatable.
* **Longevity:** While under red lights, they age like normal humans. But in a yellow light, they age slower and able to live longer than humans.
* **Flight:** Kryptonians are able to manipulate their gravitons or gravitational field which many believe it might have something to do with their supercharged bio-electric aura, which allows them to fly or float.
* **Super Breath:** Kryptonian respiratory systems can take in huge quantities of air which they can survive underwater for a great period of time. Yet they can exhale it that produces hurricane-like winds or able to freeze.
* **Vocal Mimicry:** Kryptonians are able to mimic the voices of anyone after hearing them only once.

### Blue Sun

Under a blue sun, the Kryptonians receive far greater strength, durability, stamina and even speeds. But it grants the Kryptonian a new power: Superman Vision. Superman Vision is a new type of vision power that fires a beam that gives humans and other beings the same powers as a Kryptonians without any drawbacks.

### Torquasm-Rao & Torquasm-Vo

These two are ancient Kryptonian martial arts that makes them even stronger. Torquasm-Rao allows the Kryptonian to tap into their instincts and separate themselves from their body. This makes them able to prevent others from manipulating their minds and allows them to fight on the astral plane. Torquasm-Vo is a martial art that allows the Kryptonian to enter the "theta state". Which means they can fight off mind domination and illusions or even counterattack.

### Weaknesses

Although the Kryptonians may appear to be invincible, but they all have weaknesses.

* **Red Sun:** As stated before, being under a red sun weakens them and drains them of their powers. Making them more like humans.
* **Magic:** Even though they have invulnerability, they have no resistance towards magic. As a scientific society, they have no access to magic which resulted in them having no defense against the chaotic nature of such power.
* **Phantom Zone:** The Phantom Zone is a dimensional prison where criminals of Kryptonian society go. There is no sunlight for them to absorb which means they don't have access to their powers, not that it matters anyway. However, a mutated Kryptonian name, Doomsday, managed to break free due to his unique physiology and experiments done to him.
* **Retcon:** Over the years, the powers of the Kryptonians have been numerous to the point of ridiculous such as able to sneeze a solar system out of existence, create a miniature version of themselves to throw at, erase people's memories by kissing and the list goes on to make them seem invincible. In the 1980's, Superman has been recton and given less powers along with the rest of the Kryptonians.
* **Kryptonite:** Kryptonite is a type of mineral that is effective against the Kryptonians due to its radioactive properties. It may not effect other beings but it can cause cancer over time or repeated exposure. Or in the case of Lex Luthor, injection. This is a list of Kryptonite that have effects on Kryptonians or anything based on them.
	+ **Green Kryptonite:** The most common and natural form of Kryptonite that have been used over and over again. It weakens Kryptonians overtime and is effects are instantaneous. The longer they stay under, the greater chance of death. Lex Luthor uses it against Superman multiple times and even use it in a steroid compound and it is the heart and energy source of Metallo.
	+ **Red Kryptonite:** Unlike the green Kryptonite that weakens and kills, this particular red Kryptonite strips away any of the Kryptonians inhibitions. Such as Kryptonians don't steal or muder, they will do so without fail. Once removed though, they revert back to their former selves.
	+ **Blue Kryptonite:** It is harmless to Kryptonians, but highly effective against certain Kryptonian-like beings such as Bizarro, pending on which version. In Post-Crisis, it makes Bizarro more intelligent which is a process that scares him. In Post-Infinite Crisis, they have the same effect as green Kryptonite towards Bizarro. In Prime Earth, it can be cancerous to the soul and cause spiritual death to all.
	+ **Anti-Kryptonite:** A very rare form of Kryptonite that effects unpowered Kryptonians just like green does to powered Kryptonians. It is a very light teal in coloration.
	+ **Magno-Kryptonite:** A very rare form of Kryptonite that is 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 gold colored Kryptonite that can permanetely strip away the Kryptonian's powers. Making them like humans.
	+ **Silver Kryptonite:** A silver colored Kryptonite that causes Kryptonians to hallucinate and become mentally unstable.
	+ **Opal Kryptonite:** A synthetic Kryptonite that can temporarily make Kryptonians insane.
	+ **Black Kryptonite:** A black colored Kryptonite that splits Kryptonians into two, personality wise. One being good and the other being evil.
	+ **Pink Kryptonite:** A pink colored Kryptonite that has two effects pending on what comic source. One source (Supergirl Volume 4 #79) can make Kryptonians homosexual. Another source (Justice League Action Shorts) can turn a Kryptonian to an opposite gender without any difficulty.

## Pre-Apocalypse

In the various psyche universes, Kryptonians come in various forms ranging from comics to cartoon to games to other such realities. There are a few versions of Kryptonian societies ranging from Superman's altruistic and scientific endeavors to spread peace and cooperation, Zod's supremacy and warrior culture as they dominate others, original Kryptonian society before their destruction, and a communist version of Kryptonian society with a soviet Superman...or several. Kryptonians are divided because of these new philosophies and political ideologies as they exist on the psyche multiverse.

Yet many members have joined the Heroic League Association to be inspiring heroes. However, there are a few species than those of the DC Comcis want to challenge their strength in combat such as the Saiyans.

## Post Apocalypse

After the apocalypse, many of the Kryptonians try to rebuild much that were destroyed. Some use their strength to put buildings back in place or save lives. Others try to be more diplomatic as they try to ensure peace and stability with other nations and alliances such as the Helghan Empire and the Galactic Empire. Many others help with research and development for their creators in order to expand outwards.
