  • If the yellow sun gives Kryptonians super powers, why didn't they ever leave Krypton for another planet with a yellow star, before it blew up?

    Kryptonians didn't leave Krypton because of a device known as the Eradicator that "bound their souls" to the planet. Any Kryptonian that left would die. This is why, outside of Daxam and Kandor, there are no Kryptonian space colonies or a Kryptonian galactic empire. Because of the circumstances of his birth Kal El may have been exempt.

Remember that in at least one continuity, the same guardians massively edited the martian genome to make thier species "safer" for the galaxy.(the Burning WERE a threat, but still) I'm sure they realized just how dangerous an expansionist Kryptonian society could be outside of thier red sun home system...and it would not at all be out of character for them to quietly ...take steps.

Just like it's not an accident that the cousin species from Daxam are all deathly allergic to one of the most common minerals around...lead.

It actually is not "nonsensical" otherwise you should know that Krypton had very strict religious/orthodox beliefs, some of the officials were isolationists, in the 1980's origin story of Krptonians, it is written that Kryptonians performed genetic modifications for centuries on themselves and as well as on their environment, Krypton had a very harsh environment with a very high gravity. Because of the genetic medications they were able to adapt and survive much faster without going through long evolutions but it also created another issue they couldn't leave Krypton because of its carefully balanced and modified environment, Superman's father Jor El removed this genetic flaw from his Genome also he was conceived naturally. Jor el and a few other scientists were the only kryptonians who were radical, they warned the superiors about the unstable core of Krypton but they refused to listen because they are to xenophobic. Another thing is that they didn't know about the powers they would gain from Yellow, blue, white stars as well as from Quasars and Pulsars.

      Blue stars give them even more power, and apparently 'Superman Vision', which allows them to give humans Kryptonian powers. However, details vary from version to version of Superman, so I'm not sure if it applies in most universes. Either way, it's usually not plot-relevant, so there'd be no way to know.

    In the original script for the Snider Superman movie, they were planning to change the origin of Superman's powers. That it was a combination of Earth's atmosphere/biosphere along with its yellow sun that gave have him powers. Meaning Superman needed to eventually return to Earth itself for a time or even under yellow sun he start to lose his powers. The idea behind this was Kyrton didn't know about this, in fact no one knew about Earth and its peculator effect on Kyrtonians.

  • @zlonewolf
    @zlonewolf ปีที่แล้ว +11

    The reason why Kryptonians didnt go to Yellow Sun not becos they hate it but they didnt know about it. On Krypton their powers were always restricted by Kryptonite. This is why Superman was extremely weak whenever Luthor or other villians used Kryptonite on him. Thus, Kryptonians were always weakened by Kryptonite without realizing it and never realized their full potential until Superman reached Earth. Superman grew up never needing the advanced technology of Kryptonians becos he was so spoiled with his gifts and powers. Batman on the other hand "needs" technology to fight Superman and even if theyre both capable and smart, Batman is more tech saavy than Superman.

      Actually there was no kryptonite on krypton. At least not the version that harms them and causes power loss. Kryptonite is pieces of krypton that were infused with a type of radiation that was created during the planets explosion. So before the destruction of the planet it was just plain old rock.

      @thabangpatiko9869 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      One of the basics of the superman origin story is that kryptonians did not have any powers in their home planet and no writer has the balls to change that
      But if I was writer I will state that kryptonians have always known about their powers even though they could have of overcome the weaknesses of a lack of a yellow sun by creating rings that store solar energy.
      They had no interest those powers because they created many different devices that can do a lot of things they could not do with their powers

    • @Solitaire001
      @Solitaire001 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The following is based on the Post-"Crisis on Infinite Earths" Superman.
      They weren't restricted by Kryptonite on Krypton because it didn't exist until the explosion of Krypton. The explosion changed some of the materials of Krypton into kryptonite. At first only one piece of kryptonite arrived on Earth, it was a piece lodged into Superman's rocket. Later more came to Earth.
      Also, kryptonite is also lethal to humans although it takes longer to kill them, and they can recover if it is removed in. Lex Luthor was exposed to kryptonite for months via a jewel he wore in his ring (he was told that it was harmless to humans), and eventually it cost him his hand and then his body. He only survived by stripping away the diseased tissue (leaving only his brain, eyes, and part of his spinal column), and cloning a new body around it.
      The reason Kryptonians didn't have powers on Krypton was due there being no yellow sun. Yellow sun radiation charges a kryptonian's cells like a solar capacitor and over time he/she gains superpowers on Earth. Superman didn't gain his full powers until he was a young adult. Red sun radiation doesn't charge a kryptonian's cells so they had no super powers on Krypton.
      Related: Daxamites are related to Kryptonians although it is not sure which came from the other. However, based on my reading there are some significant differences: (1) Daxamites are fatally allergic to lead and it will kill them unless it is removed, and the weakness they acquire is permanent and cumulative, (2) Daxamites are slightly stronger than Kryptonians under a yellow sun, and (3) while Kryptonians are like a solar capacitor, Daxamites are like a solar panel. When exposed to yellow sun radiation Daxamites are instantly at full power but if cut off from yellow sun radiation they are immediately powerless.

    Krypton was a very advanced civilization because of its vast technological knowledge. They were exploring space before the airplane was invented on Earth. I think Earth was considered a very primitive planet, someplace they didn’t want to go. But as you said, I think most of them weren’t aware of how powerful they would be there. Jor-El was one of the top scientists, he knew more than most. The average citizen was probably unaware they would be a “Superman” on Earth. And while they had the ability to space travel, not the ability for everyone to space travel. I’m sure only a small fraction of the population could actually leave the planet. I think also until the immediate past,Krypton was mostly a wonderful planet to live on. But civil war over fighting over the last few resources made it difficult to live there. Zod himself didn’t even want to go to Earth and if he alone was there , he would be ruler.

I'd be as indestructable as Doomsday, immortal like Lobo, faster than even the flash and at the same time be even more powerful as Superman in the 60's and 70's during the industrial sci-fi days! They made Shazam and Superman so powerful, they were indestructable and the bad guys were scared if Lois even said their names to the villians!

    Few problems, Krypton mythology has change a bit in the past forty some years. Another problems with writers is when they depower Superman they neglect the Kryptonians evolved on a world with x8 earth's gravity meaning what appears to be a 200lb man will in fact be 1,600lbs .. so why don't Kryptonians blood depressurize in earth's atmosphere ?
    Another aspect with my D&D/Star Wars RPG gaming group wanting to PC a Krypton, just reading over wiki on star energy out put .. a red giant or dwarf compare to a yellow star. Earth's sun puts out 2.7 to 5 times the radiation of a red Krypton sun does. Follow with over exposer to our own sun leads to sun burns and skin cancer. From our base understanding from sensor readings, who wants a x5 sun burn and risk atmospheric depressurization ?
    Unless your environment suite gets a rip due to accident or combat and finding out yellow solar radiation empowers them, there is no reason why a Kryptonian would want to set foot on earth like planets.
