Kryptonians (Earth-1)

[[Category:{{{name}}}| ]]

**Kryptonians** are a nearly extinct species from the planet Krypton.

## History

Decades ago, Kryptonians were among the most technologically and scientifically advanced species in the universe. Originating from the planet Krypton, they had high organisations in place to govern their planet, such as the military guild or the science council. Ond day however, scientist Jor-El and his wife Lara saw the end of their world coming. They built a ship for their only son, Kal-El, to be able to escape their doomed planet, as did general Alura Zor-El for the entirety of Argo City. Those escoae ships were not functioning though, and she was forced to use the only working one for her daughter Kara. After the destruction of Krypton, Kara‘s ship was damaged though, and lost its course, only arriving 30 years after Kal-El's ship at their destination. A time, during which Kara was artificial frozen, in order for her to survive the journey. After having arrived on planet Earth, Kal was adopted by two farmers, Martha and Jonathan Kent, who brought him up and taught him both how to be a good person as well as controlling the superhuman abilities the yellow Sun of this world gave him. As an adult, he became known to the rest of the world as the hero Superman and faced great threats such as Lobo, Parasite and Brainiac. He later became a founding member of the Justice League, a team of similar individuals. After that, Kara's pod arrived and Kal, going by the alias of Clark Kent while not acting as Superman, tried to help her make Earth feel like home. After a battle against Solomon Grundy, Kara decided that it was no use and that Earth would never feel like the home she had lost. Superman then decided to bring her into the 31st century, to the Legion Academy, where she could learn how to better use her powers. Additionally, it resembled the Kryptonian society more than the 21st century. Another academy trainee, Mon-El from planet Daxam, was also fascinated by the Kryptonian culture and presented a good speaking partner for Kara. He however took it as far as to assume that beings like him and the lost Kryptonians were superior to others and joined the Dark Circle, in order to annihilate each and every being in the universe they thought were weak. He, together with a reanimated Brainiac were stopped by Kara and the other students of the academy.

## Powers

* **Kryptonian Physiology**: Under the effects of a yellow sun:
	+ **Solar Energy Absorption**: A Kryptonians's cellular structure allows them to absorb, store and metabolize the wavelength of yellow sun radiation to fuel all of their abilities. Direct exposure to sunlight will also accelerate their absorption rate. Their cellular matrix functions like a solar battery, storing energy.
		- **Superhuman Strength**: Kryptonians possess tremendous physical strength, the exact limits of which are unknown. This is due to their supercharged musculature. They can lift over 100,000 tons. Their electromagnetic field keeps objects from crumbling under their own weight.
		- **Superhuman Speed**: Kryptonians are capable of running and moving at incredible speeds due to their supercharged musculature. They can move at supersonic speeds and cross vast distances in seconds.
			* **Superhuman Agility**: Kryptonians natural balance, agility, and body coordination are enhanced to superhuman levels.
			* **Superhuman Reflexes**: Kryptonians speed extends to their reflexes, giving them superhuman reaction times.
		- **Superhuman Stamina**: Kryptonians possess extraordinary physical stamina. Their cells process yellow solar energy for nourishment. Kryptonians are able to exert themselves at peak capacity for at least several days before the build up of fatigue toxins in their blood begins to impair them.
		- **Superhuman Durability**: Kryptonians bodily tissues are much tougher and far more resistant to physical injury than those of human beings. They can withstand high caliber bullets, survive in space unaided, powerful concussive blasts, falls from tremendous heights, and blows from powerful metahumans without sustaining injury. Their electromagnetic field extends this protection around tightfitting clothes.
		- **Flight**: By harnessing and manipulating gravitons, Kryptonians are able to defy gravity which enables them to fly. Kryptonian flight speeds are multi-mach. They can perform aerobatic feats such as levitating and lifting great weights while flying.
		- **Heat Vision**: Kryptonians are capable of firing highly concentrated beams of energy from their eyes. These beams are capable of reaching extremely high temperatures. The maximum temperature their beams can reach is unknown but they can reach temperatures as hot as a nuclear explosion. They can control the area and heat, even able to make the beams invisible.
		- **X-Ray Vision:** Kryptonians can focus their vision past layers of matter to see through them, with the exception of objects and surfaces that are lined with lead.
		- **Superhuman Breath:** Thanks to their incredible lung capacity, Kryptonians are also able to draw in large amounts of air and then expel it all to create gale and hurricane force winds. They can also chill their breath to freeze targets.
		- **Accelerated Healing**: Kryptonian's empowered cells possess exceptional regenerative capabilities. Direct exposure to sunlight will magnify this ability.
			* **Advanced Longevity:** A Kryptonian's healing factor also keeps them in optimal health and decreases the rate of their aging by a high degree granting them a life span that is several millennia long.

## Weaknesses

* **Green Kryptonite**: The effects of green kryptonite are poisonous to Kryptonians and greatly weaken them. Weapons and objects made from it can bypass a kryptonian's invulnerability and prolonged exposure could kill them.
* **Solar energy depletion:** When deprived of Yellow sunlight to empower them, a Kryptonians abilities would slowly begin to fade, thus requiring them to recharge.
* **Lead:** Even with their X-ray vision, they cannot see through lead.
* **High frequencies**: Their super-hearing makes them vulnerable to intense, high frequency sounds. However, some are able to function despite the pain it causes them.
