* Jack Kirby's Fourth World was featured heavily in the final season of Superman: The Animated Series with Apokolips as the primary setting in a few episodes.

It seems that none of these events actually occurred, as the miniseries Death of the New Gods takes place on New Genesis and Apokolips in the first issue, and many of the new gods and other Fourth World characters are seen in their standard style throughout much of Countdown, Countdown to Mystery, and Superman / Batman.

The intention was to pick up that series ' storyline after the events of the Crisis on Infinite Earths series, which necessitated writing Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman out of the original series ' history since their World War II versions now no longer existed.

Aztek ultimately sacrifices himself to allow Superman the chance to destroy Mageddon / Tezcatlipoca, during the World War III story arc.

In the present, Superman lets Bruce Wayne Jr. take him into custody so that he can plead guilty to murder before the World Court.

Director Bryan Singer stated at the 2006 Comic-Con that he favored the three-persona concept, stating that there was Clark Kent on the farm, the bumbling Metropolis Clark, and Superman, the Last Son of Krypton.

Brandon Routh himself stated, in an HBO First Look interview that he was playing three characters ; Clark Kent, the reporter / farm boy ; Superman, the protagonist and savior of Metropolis ; and Kal-El, the Last Son of Krypton.

A great deal of emphasis is placed on his origins on the planet Krypton with exotic crystalline sets designed by John Barry, effectively giving Superman a third persona as Kal-El.

Kryptonite is a fictional material from the Superman mythos — the ore form of a radioactive element from Superman's home planet of Krypton.

Originating in the Superman radio show series, the material is usually shown as having been created from the radioactive remains of Superman's native planet Krypton, and generally has detrimental effects on Superman and other Kryptonians.

A forerunner of the kryptonite concept was the unpublished 1940 story " The K-Metal from Krypton ", by Superman co-creator Jerry Siegel.

The K-metal in the story was a piece of Krypton which robbed Superman of his strength while giving humans superhuman powers, a plot point which decades later made its way into the TV series Smallville.

" Kryptonite " was introduced in June 1943 on the Superman radio series, in the story arc " The Meteor from Krypton ".

When Superman followed the time trail of a piece of red rock that weakened him, he was able to trace his origin back to Krypton for the first time.

In an effort to reduce the use of kryptonite in Superman storylines, all known kryptonite on Earth was transmuted into " k-iron " in a 1971 storyline titled " The Sandman Saga ", though kryptonite could still be synthetically manufactured by a variety of known and unknown means, and additional material left over from the destruction of Krypton would continue to fall from space.

By the events told in the New Krypton storyline however, several Superman villains, like Metallo and Reactron, have acquired some kryptonite samples to use against the Kryptonians on Earth.

Lex is later revealed to have obtained contact with the " Collector of Worlds " through unknown means and was told to say the word " Krypton " to Superman.

Some of Anderson's superhero novels include Enemies & Allies, about the first meeting of Batman and Superman and ' The Last Days of Krypton ', telling the story of how Krypton came to be destroyed and the choice two parents had to make for their son.

Krypton is a fictional planet in the DC Comics universe, and the native world of the super-heroes Superman and, in some tellings, Supergirl and Krypto the Superdog.

As originally depicted, all the civilizations and races of Krypton perished in the explosion, except for one survivor: the baby Kal-El who was placed in an escape rocket by his father, Jor-El, and sent to the planet Earth, where he grew up to become Superman.

Kryptonian civilization's level of technological advancement has ranged from being only a few centuries ahead of Earth ( such as in Kevin J. Anderson's Last Days of Krypton novel ), to being millennia ahead and referred to by Lex Luthor as " one of the most advanced civilizations in the Universe " ( in the Superman film series ).

Soon, beginning in the Superman comic strip, Krypton was shown to have been a planet similar to Earth, older by eons and possessed of all the beneficial progress that implied ( though the downside was the hint that Krypton exploded due mainly to old age ).

The debut of the Superman newspaper comic strip in 1939 also delved into further details about Krypton, including introducing the idea that all Kryptonians possessed a level of heightened physical abilities, including super-strength and super-speed.

However, after the introduction of DC's multiverse in the 1960s, this version of Krypton was declared to be the Krypton of the Earth-Two universe ( the native dimension of DC's Golden Age characters ) and its Superman.

In the Golden Age, Superman was unaware initially of his true origins ; in Superman # 61, Superman discovered the existence of Krypton for the first time and learned of his Kryptonian heritage.
