Superman's father, Jor-el, first learned of Krypton's imminent demise from ancient Kryptonian texts that predicted its core's explosion. After years of study, Jor-el proved scientifically that the core was unstable, but the rest of the scientific community was not convinced, and even if he could have convinced the entire world there was not enough time to build enough space craft to save everyone.
In the end Jor-el was only able to send his son, Kal-el to the nearest world in his galaxy that supported humanoid life similar to Krypton's. But Jor-el could not have predicted the effect it's smaller size and brighter star would have on Kryptonian physiology.
The Kryptonian city of Kandor was miniaturized and placed in a bottle by Brainiac so that he could continue to study Kryptonian society without staying on Krypton. The curiosity of his 12th level intellect exceeds its sense of ethics.
It was a fortuitous event for the city. It avoided the destruction of Krypton. It saved 3 million lives. Superman happened upon Kandor onboard Brainiac’s space vessel when he was temporarily held captive.
Superman keeps Kandor in his Fortress of Solitude, safe from prying eyes. He has vowed to find a way to restore its inhabitants to normal size. From time-to-time he uses a prototype of an enlarging device to enlarge one of Kandor’s inhabitants, but the effect always wears off. He has occasionally shrunk himself to visit the city, sometimes he has brought others.
The existence of Kandor is secret. Not even the Justice League is aware it exists.
When Superman’s pal, Jimmy Olsen rubs his body with a formula created by Lana Lang's uncle, Professor Phineas Potter, he develops the ability to stretch like Plastic Man.
Prof. Potter developed the formula to imbue otherwise solid structures with a small amount of elasticity to make them resilient to earthquakes. But when Jimmy spilled some of the formula on his arm, he discovered he could stretch it 50 feet.
Prof. Potter’s formula contains carcinogens that could accumulate in Jimmy’s body over time, so it’s use must be strictly limited.
Streaky, the super cat, is not at all pleased to wear a costume covering his magnificent fur coat, and refuses to be a member of the Legion of Super-Pets because he considers the term "pet" to be reductive.
Lex Luthor made his first fortune in an internet startup that exploded into a tech powerhouse. But he became a mega billionaire by taking controlling interests in companies developing space technology and robotics. Through his social media platform, Shout, he has accumulated millions of sycophantic admirers who believe him to be a scientific genius.
Dr. Midnite is an alchemist who, while experimenting with an unusual mineral, created a chemical vapor that transported him to the 21st century. His amazing abilities as an alchemist to develop powders, potions, and gases give him formidable powers. Unfortunately without the mineral he left behind in his home century he is unable to time travel again.
Krypto has been Superman's furry companion since he was an infant on the planet Krypton. Although they are not as intelligent as humanoids, Kryptonian dogs can read minds, even if they cannot project their thoughts.
Krypto was paired with the infant Kal-el to mind him and keep him from harm, which was a common practice on Krypton, and was sent with Kal-el to Earth AI for that purpose.
Kryptonian dogs live hundreds of years, which explains how Krypto could have been a puppy when Kal was a baby and still be alive now that Superman is in his thirties.
Zatanna’s father went missing when she was an infant, leaving her to be raised by her mother.
Her father, Zatara, was of an earth species Homo Magi. Homo Magi are human in appearance but have an innate command of magic. Zatara accessed magic by saying phrases composed of words spoken backwards, but other members of his species access magic in different ways.
Zatanna was taught to speak backwards as a child by her mother who made a game of it. When Zatanna reached adolescence she discovered her commands spoken in backwards English words bent reality.
Zatanna embarked on a quest to find her missing father when she was still a young woman. Along the way she met and teamed up with several famous Earth AI heroes: the Flash, Hawkman, and the Atom. Zatanna performs in a night club act in addition to participating in heroic adventures.
Abin Sur was a member of the Green Lantern Corps working undercover on Earth AI to locate an escaped criminal when he suffered a fatal accident. Before he died his ring chose Hal Jordan of Earth AI to replace him and brought Hal to receive the ring.
Comet is an equine animal companion of Supergirl on Earth AI. Supergirl named him Comet because of a comet shaped mark on his neck. During the Golden Age of human civilization Comet was a centaur named Biron.
Circe gave him a potion that was supposed to turn him into a human, but instead turned him into a horse. Unable to reverse the transformation, she gave him incredible powers which just so happen to be exactly like the ones Kryptonians develop under a yellow sun. She also made him immortal.
On an adventure with Supergirl to the sorcerer’s planet, a spell caused Comet to transform into a handsome human male, but only while a comet is passing by. As a human, Comet assumes the identity of “Bronco” Bill Starr, a rodeo trick-rider, who has no memory of being either a horse or a centaur.
The first time Supergirl met “Bronco” Bill they had an intense love affair. But it ended when he lost human form. Both Supergirl and Comet are unaware of Comet’s human identity.
Comet is however aware of Supergirl's affair with Bill because he has telepathy.
Rokk Krin was a space explorer from a distant galaxy whose one-man vessel was snared by a black hole. For eons he was held on event horizon, although to him it felt like a few hours. He witnessed the birth and death of stars. He lost consciousness as he fell into the black hole he lost, and when he woke he found himself in our galaxy in the Earth AI time period of the 31st Century, his body aged backwards to late adolescence.
Rokk soon discovered that as a result of his incredible journey through the black hole, he had gained the ability to create and control magnetic force. His fantastic adventure inspired him to call himself "Cosmic Boy".
Shortly after, on a shuttlecraft in the Sol system, Rokk helped to save quadrillionaire R.J. Brande from terrorists. A gratified Brande invited Rokk and the two others who teamed with him, Irma Ardeen and Garth Ranzz, to form a special ops team, the Legion of Super-Heroes which was later chartered by the UP as its membership mushroomed.
Mary Batson is Billy Batson’s older sister, who, like Billy, is transformed into a super-powered, costumed hero by speaking the name of the wizard Shazam. Unlike Billy, Mary does not become an adult during her transformation. She remains a teenage girl.
Bat-Mite is a member of a sentient species of the Chiroptera family presumably descended from bats. His species lives in a remote region of the Andes as yet unvisited by humans.
When Bat-Mite wandered into human civilization, he learned of Batman. Impressed by his prowess and his adventures, he became a major fan. Unfortunately he also became a major nuisance.
Members of his species are notorious for poor eyesight and rely on sonar to navigate and experience three dimensional space. To compensate, Bat-Mite wears prescription goggles.
Bizarro Superman was created by a defective duplication machine created by Professor Potter and accidentally pointed at Superman.
Bizarro Superman wears glasses as a disguise so that no one recognizes him as Clark Kent.
J'onn J'onzz arrived on Earth AI as a bounty hunter searching for a criminal from his home, a place we call Titan, one of Saturn’s moons.
Methane runs like water on the frigid moon. There are methane oceans, lakes, and rivers. Methane rain and snow. J'onn's people are a technological race as yet undiscovered by mankind. Among other abilities, his people are able to shape-shift to the extent that they can change their own biology to live in what might otherwise be hostile environments.
When J’onn arrived on Earth AI he took a form much like its human inhabitants, but neglected to change the color of his skin. Decades of science fiction stories of little green men led Earth AI humans to take him to be from Mars. J’onn allowed them to keep their misconception, so he adopted the name Martian Manhunter.
The Legion of Super-Heroes is a heroic adventure team established in the 31st Century by RJ Brande. The team draws their inspiration from the super-powered heroes of the 20th and 21st Century.
A few members of the team have styled themselves after their forebears from a millennia before their birth, however it is difficult to separate historical fact from fanciful stories. It can even be difficult to determine which photographs and video are real and which were created as fiction in later years. Hence their costuming can be somewhat inaccurate.
Superboy
When baby Kal-el’s spaceship crashed in a remote rural area of North Dakota, Martha and Jonathan Kent found and raised him on their farm.
As Kal-el matured his origin and abilities became known to the people in the surrounding farms and the tiny town of Smallville, but his neighbors are a private and close-knit group who will never share his secrets with outsiders.
In the beginning of his super-heroic career Superman remained in Smallville even though his super-heroics were thousands of miles away. The advantage was the outsiders who saw Superman had never seen Clark Kent so his identity was safe.
Solomon Grundy was born on a Monday and has been grumpy his entire life because of it.
