Krypto

**Krypto** is the name of a Kryptonian Canine hailing from the late planet of Krypton. He is also the family pet of the House of El.

## **Origins**

Knowing the destruction of Krypton was soon coming, Jor-El had begun experimentation with several rockets, which he launched into the void of space. One rocket carried Krypto within and unfortunately was knocked off course and was in space for years. Later however, his ship found the signal of Kal-El's spacecraft and made it's way towards Earth. Upon meeting, both Superman and Krypto got along greatly. Since then, Krypto has served the Justice League and his master loyally against a variety of dangerous threats.

## **Powers & Abilities**

### Powers

* **Kryptonian Canine Physiology:** Hailing from the late planet Krypton, Krypto's body isn't like any ordinary dog's. In fact, his body gives him great powers and abilities under a blue and yellow sun, which he never possessed under Krypton's red sun.
	+ **Solar Energy Absorption:** Like Superman, Krypto possesses the ability to absorb solar energy more efficiently than any known human. Typically under a yellow or blue sun, he gains his powers and abilities.
	+ **Invulnerability:** Unlike most dogs, Krypto possesses a dense-molecular structure, which in conjunction with a supercharged bio-electric aura, makes him virtually invulnerable to any physical attack.
	+ **Superhuman Strength:** Krypto possesses strength, which enables him to lift immensely heavy loads. He typically uses his mouth to lift objects and people. He can even move at great speed and charge his foes with his great strength.
	+ **Superhuman Speed:** Krypto is capable of propelling himself at speeds far faster than even the most physically fit Earth dog, which also include his reflexes. He can also apply this ability while in flight.
	+ **Superhuman Stamina:** Krypto is capable of going for long periods of time without tiring.
	+ **Enhanced Senses:** Like most dogs, Krypto possesses all of the acute senses therein, however his are far more acute. This means his hearing, sight and smell are all enhanced far better than that of normal dogs.
	+ **Flight:** Krypto, like his owner, is capable of lifting himself off the ground and able to both hover and move about in the air freely.
	+ **Heat Vision:** Krypto is able of dispensing collected solar energy out of his eyes, in the form of reddish-orange beams of intense heat.
	+ **Super Breath:** Krypto can produce hurricane-force winds from his mouth and able to modulate the temperature of the winds, making them sub-zero temperatures.
	+ **Longevity:** As a Kryptonian dog, it's logical to assume that like Kryptonian humanoids, he is able to age far slower than normal dogs under the effects of a yellow or blue sun.
	+ **Claws & Fangs:** As a dog, Krypto naturally possesses claws and fangs.

## **Weaknesses**

* **Kryptonite:** Like Superman, Krypto is vulnerable to the radiation of Kryptonite.
* **Red Sun:** Krypto gains his powers under either yellow or blue sun, however under the effects of a red sun, Krypto is as powerless as any human or dog of Earth.
* **Magic:** As with Kryptonians, Krypto possesses no natural defense against magic.

## **Physical Appearance**

Krypto looks like any other normal Earth dog, with the exception of his powers and abilities. He is possibly a Kryptonian purebred white lab with white fur and black eyes. To make himself distinguished from other dogs is that Krypto wears a gold collar with a tag on the bottom in the form of the House of El crest and dons a red cape on his back, which bares the same symbol upon it in yellow.
