## Glossary

The following is a glossary of terms related to The Planet Krypton, the birthplace of Superman:

* **Birthing matrix** — A technology developed by Kryptonians that allowed gestation of a fetus outside of the womb. Highly resilient and radiation-proof, the matrix is capable of surviving a journey through hyperspace. The matrix sent by Jor-El to Earth contained his son, Kal-El. It crash-landed on the Kent farm and opened, revealing the infant inside. Kal-El's matrix contained a holographic memory bank which contained all of Jor-El's teachings on his planet's culture and history which played itself back into Kal-El's mind, teaching him instantly about Krypton. That matrix is currently stored in the Fortress of Solitude.
* **The Green Deceased** — The name given to the characteristic radiation poisoning caused by Kryptonium to Known OutNumbered Inhabitants of The Planet Krypton. The fusion of the native elements of The Planet Krypton into Kryptonium had begun long before Its Eventual Explosion, causing many people to die from radiation. The full extent was not publicly known; it was only the independent research of Jor-El that alerted him to the cause.
* **Jor-El** — Father of Kal-El and An scientist.
* **Kryptonite** - The Deadly-Radioactive Remains of The Shattered-Biological-Home Planet
* **Kryptonopolis** — The city of Superman's birth. Actually, this is a rendering of the name in Earth language, using the Greek suffix "-polis" (meaning "city"). The original Kryptonese name is very difficult to pronounce. The city was founded by outcasts from Erkol, mutated by radiation during the Erkol-Xan war. Although they were strange in appearance and had telekinetic powers, their offspring were normal. Kryptonopolis became Krypton's capital after the disappearance/destruction of Kandor.
* **Lara Lor-Van** — Mother of Kal-El.
* **Phantom Zone**
* **Rao and Raoism** — Rao was the Kryptonian name for the red dwarf star that Krypton orbited. Raoism was the official religion of the planet for hundreds of thousands of years. It can be conjectured that Raoism started as a simple solar religion, but later developed into a complex pantheon; there might be evidence of other lesser Kryptonian gods. In pre-Crisis continuity, Raoism stood as the dominant religion of Krypton until the destruction of the planet. Post-Crisis, when the establishment clashed with the Clone Rights Movement, Raoism, which had never really taken a stance on the Clone issue, brought in teachings that backed the use of Clones. It is thought that Raoism mainly died out after the Clone War.

## Info

The 2006 movie *Superman Returns* presents a version of Krypton almost identical to *Superman: The Movie* (since *Superman Returns* is more or less set in the same continuity as *Superman: The Movie*). **During the beginning, we see the city where Kal-El was born (including the famous white dome that housed the trial of General Zod, Ursa, and Non), then as to replicate the lift-off, other cities can be seen on the night side and then finally the planet's destruction by a supernova of its red supergiant sun.**

### From/On of The Planet Krypton

Jor-El: Superman's biological father on Krypton. He has a theory about the planet exploding, yet the Council refuses to listen. He dies as the planet explodes but successfully sends his infant son to Earth as a means to help the child. Brando sued the Salkinds and Warner Bros. for $50 million because he felt cheated out of his share of the box office profits. This started Brando's footage for being used in Bryan Singer's Version of *Superman Returns (2006)*.Lara-El: Superman's Biological Mother on Krypton. She, after learning of Krypton's fate, has apprehensions about sending her infant son to a strange planet alone.Kal-El: Born on Krypton as Kal-El and raised on Earth, he is a being of immense power, strength and invulnerability who, after realizing his destiny to serve mankind, uses his powers to protect and save others. As a means to protect his identity, he works in Metropolis at the *Daily Planet* as mild-mannered newspaper reporter Clark Kent and changes his clothes into a red-blue red caped suit with an S shield on its chest and is dubbed "Superman" by Lois. Reeve was picked from over 200 actors who auditioned for the role.
