Aethyr (Earth 1) - SirJeffCena

**Aethyr** is a Kryptonian loyal to General Zod. She arrived on Earth with Nam-Ek during the 2005 meteor shower, intent on finding Kal-El and forcing him to free General Zod from the Phantom Zone. She and Nam-Ek ended up trapped there in the process.

## History

### Early Life

Aethyr and Nam-Ek were his two closest allies and were given major roles in the civil war on Krypton. While Zod determined where should be attacked, his disciples were given roles in which they too determined where should be attacked and they often conversed with Zor-El giving them an upper hand and knowledge of where should be best to attack.

When notified that Zod had been captured, they contacted Brainiac and determined that since Zod had been captured and that Zor-El was planning to destroy Krypton, they should flee and find the planet where Jor-El would send his only son Kal-El so they could use him to free Zod and create a Kryptonian paradise. They then left Krypton in the black ship along with Brainiac and when the Crystal of Air was stained with blood, the black ship was notified and immediately traveled to Earth, bringing a second meteor shower with it.

### Year Five

The Black ship landed in Smallville along with a meteor shower and the Aethyr and Nam-Ek emerged from the ship. They traversed Smallville in search of Kal-El, leaving a trail of destruction and brutality in their wake. The two believed themselves the last survivors of Krypton and wished Kal-El to join them in making earth into a new Kryptonian paradise. Eventually, they came face to face in the Luthor mansion, where Clark refused to join them in their insane quest. Aethyr decided to banish Clark to the Phantom Zone, viewing him as a threat since he did not wish to ally with them. However, Clark managed to knock them into the portal they opened, trapping them in the Phantom Zone.

### Year Six

Months later, when Kal-El was exiled to the Zone, the two disciples confronted him, seeking revenge for their imprisonment. They blamed him, when it in reality it was their own fault for opening the portal in the first place; Clark had only caused them to fall into the portal in self-defense, as it would not close otherwise and the Earth would be under threat from them.

The two wished to execute him immediately, but Raya's quick witted deception convinced the two that he could free them from the Zone. At the last moment she betrayed them, slicing open Nam-Ek's throat and seemingly killing him.

Aethyr was last seen stabbing Raya the instant before Kal-El triggered the escape portal from the Zone. She was pulled through the escape portal, but was never seen again.

## Physical Appearance

Aethyr had identical, unnaturally bright, green eyes, displayed little emotion, and was ruthless and brutal in pursuit of her goals. She considered humans savages and had little qualm about hurting or killing any that got in her way. When she first emerged from the ship she wore Kryptonian armor and had a bracelet on her right wrist. The bracelet contained inscriptions of the Mark of Zod and Aethyr also wore the mark on her lower back as a tattoo.

	+ **Flight**

	+ **Super Hearing**
	+ **X-Ray Vision** - Can see through anything except lead. Sometimes they see skeletons like an X-ray scan, though other times they simply look through objects or portions of objects as if they weren't there.

## Vulnerabilities

* **Kryptonian Physiology**
	+ **Magic** - affects Kryptonians normally.
	+ **Kryptonite** - affects Kryptonians in several different ways, depending on the color, though the effects can be shielded or blocked by lead.
		- **Green** - emits a radiation that is extremely toxic to superpowered Kryptonians. The radiation itself first causes symptoms such as nausea, dizziness, pain and weakness that eventually grow more severe until loss of consciousness occurs.
		- **Red** - brings out the rebellious and immoral personality of Kryptonians and rids them of most of their inhibitions. The effects of red kryptonite are likened to that of being under the influence of too much alcohol, without the loss of physical capability.
		- **Blue** - suppresses Kryptonian powers, making them vulnerable like a mortal. It appears to contribute to human health. However, the effects of this kind of kryptonite disappear by ceasing to be in contact with it.
		- **Gold** - can give Kryptonians permanent wounds and strip them of their powers and abilities for good. Prolonged exposure is believed to be fatal.
		- **Black** - separates Kryptonian egos (better qualities) from their id's (darker impulses).
		- **Silver** - induces paranoia.
	+ **High-pitched noises**: Because of super hearing, Kryptonian ears are extra-sensitive to extreme noises such as Black Canary's sonic scream or Silver Banshee's banshee scream.
	+ **Red Sun Radiation** - renders Kryptonians mortal.

## Notes

* Nam-Ek and Aethyr's backstory is never told. It is likely the Disciples were a sect of Zod's followers established after the destruction of Kandor. If they were soldiers in Major Zod's army, they would have had clones in the Orb, but not all the names of the people in the Orb are disclosed so there is a chance they were inside but not seen.
