Where Krypton's robotic labor force is built. The science facility tasked with maintaining control over the planet's weather. Long before life existed on Krypton, this valley was created by a monstrously gigantic meteor that glanced off the surface of the planet. Lake TromĪ large lake on the continent's south eastern side. Home to such creatures as the Metal-Eating Beast, The Living Wheel Creature, and the Radium-Eating Gorilla. The city of Kandor is now kept in Superman's Fortress of Solitude. Kandor Craterīefore Krypton blew up, this city was reduced in size by space-villain Brainiac and placed in a bottle the crater left behind is both a memorial site and one of scientific interest for the geological samples exposed. Site from which the rocket bearing the infant Superman (Kal-El) was launched by Jor-El. Jewel MountainsĪn immense geologic formation of gem stones. The Hall of WorldsĪ museum containing replicas of hundreds of known planets and their moons. Fort RozzĪ volcano that spews forth molten gold. Fire FallsĪ place where Krypton's inner fires pour through a fissure and create a spectacular sight. On this space-fragment, later was born Supergirl.

They left to explore the universe, though they were altered by the Eradicator as they left, leaving them fatally vulnerable to lead. The people of Daxam originated on Krypton. Krypton had peace again, but their world was sterile and joyless. Direct physical contact became prohibited and procreation was facilitated by birthing matrices. The world was left with no wildlife and the people began living in isolation from one another and other races. The Destroyer was stopped when the government ended hostilities and the planet was saved. The Destroyer was aimed at the planet's core, by pro-clone forces causing a chain reaction. The Eradicator had altered the genes of Kryptonians so that they could never leave their planet again. Two weapons were created at this time, the Eradicator and the Destroyer. The advanced scientific knowledge of the Kryptonians was turned into super weapons and Krypton's Clone War began. One clone gained independent sentience, causing the debate to escalate into conflict.Įventually the Clone Rights Movement formed such a large force that they rebelled against the ruling authority. At first what started out to be a pacifist movement ended up being The Clone Rights Movement that began with the teachings of Sem-M. There was growing concern however, that the clones too had rights. In these banks each Kryptonian would maintain three mindless Clones which could be used as spare parts if their "owner" was ever injured. Their mastery of cloning allowed them to live an eternal youth and their society grew ever more hedonistic. One of their achievements was their Clone Banks. As a culture, the people led an idyllic life surrounded by robots and followed a ritual path through life. Krypton was a world renowned for its scientific achievement. Under their red sun, the Kryptonians became a more technologically advanced society. Krypton is home to a race of people known as Kryptonians that are similar to humans but are more closely related to Daxamites. However, in the story "Superman: Birthright", Krypton was said to be in another galaxy, approximately 2.2 million light-years away. Krypton is roughly Earth sized and was part of Green Lantern sector 2813 (Earth is in sector 2814). It was 50 light years from Earth and orbited a red giant star known as Rao. Krypton was located close to Earth, at least in cosmic terms.
