He demanded Jor-El answer his question regarding his true homeworld.Īs a Green Lantern, Clark Kent possessed a power ring and power battery.įor a definitive list of appearances of Green Lantern in chronological order click here Later, Kal-El thought of the images that had appeared in his mind when he found the power battery, images of another world. He confronted the Council of Elders with his findings, berating Kryptonian society for its fear of each other, the past and the unknown. Surveying his work, Kal-El discovered ruins from ancient Krypton and Krypton's forgotten past. The dozens of metal columns were then pushed through vital stress points along Krypton's surface where they would act as control rods in a nuclear reactor, disrupting the chain reaction and sparing the planet. Out in space, Kal-El snared thousands of meteors which he reshaped into massive metal columns. Kal-El was determined to avert the death of the planet. Moreover, Krypton itself was doomed to destruction as the activity in its core built towards a chain reaction. Hundreds of centuries later, modern Kryptonians were dying from radiation sickness as the lethal particles seeped up from the planet's core. The device was neutralized but no one could foresee the effect it would have on Krypton's future. ![]() Long ago, after the abandonment of the Clone Banks, extremists led by Kan-Z released nuclear material into the planet's core. ![]() Searching through Jor-El's files, Kal-El came upon information about Krypton's past. Returning to his house to share his discovery with Jor-El, Kal-El was surprised to see his father disturbed by something. He broke free of his exoskeleton to take flight in a costume bearing the symbol of the Corps. Kal-el found himself possessing an object that could make his very will reality. A voice emanating from the power battery told Kal-el to touch ring to battery while speaking a sacred oath. Instinctively, Kal-El took the power ring from the alien and placed in on his finger. Unbeknownst to Kal-El, the creature was a member of the Green Lantern Corps. It was a silicon based life form which had been buried in the Kryptonian rock for at least two hundred thousand years. Unafraid, Kal-El climbed towards the point of the strange readings and found the remains of an alien creature. Kal-El was searching for artifacts of Krypton's past when a particularly violent planet quake uncovered an unknown energy source was detected. Krypto, a robotic servitor, accompanied him on his travels. Years later, Kal-El would leave his house for months at a time to explore. ![]() As Kal-El grew, started to wear a robotic exoskeleton built by Jor-El which enabled him to go out and about on this alien world, oblivious to his true origins. For his first eleven years, Kal-El lived within a transpolymer sphere with a null gravity field, while Jor-El slowly increased the gravity and atmospheric pressure in the environmental chamber. The baby's human body was too weak to survive in Krypton's high-gravity environment but Jor-El devoted himself to the strange visitor from another world, whom he named Kal-El. The infant was discovered by Jor-El and Lara, natives of Krypton. The rocket struck an alien starship before crashing on the planet Krypton, a massive planet orbiting a red sun. Unforeseen by Jonathan Kent, the rocket was pulled into a wormhole and emerged light years away, in a different solar system. His wife, Martha, chose to stay by his side while their son, Clark Kent, was sent into space, minutes before the asteroid struck. Unable to convince the world of the impending danger, Kent designed and built a rocket capable of carrying his wife and newborn child into orbit, to return after the effects of the asteroid's impact had subsided. In 1968, astrophysicist Jonathan Kent discovered a giant asteroid, speeding towards a disastrous collision with Earth. ![]()
