This Kryptonian is Too Steady

Knowing that many book lovers are confused about the destruction of Krypton, French Fries is here to make a simple science popularization for everyone. If there is any fallacy, please correct me.

After all, how could a top civilization that can dominate 28 galaxies perish because of the explosion of its parent star?

In fact, there are three main theories that are more widely known.

1. Krypton exploded and died naturally

Take the most well-known DCEU as an example, which is the DC movie series universe opened by "Man of Steel" released in 2013.

In this movie, the Kryptonian civilization is a top-level civilization. Interstellar travel is already commonplace for them, and they have colonized 28 galaxies. They even have things like "world engines" that can change the ecology of the surface at will.

After 100,000 years of rapid development, Kryptonians have given up natural reproduction to produce offspring, because they can modify genes at will, create various specialized Kryptonian templates, and even create monsters like Doomsday .

Just imagine, during the nearly 100,000 years of exploration, no other civilization that the Kryptonians have visited can pose a threat of force to them.

As long as you find a stable planet, you can transform it into a new Krypton, and then create random populations on it.

In other words, the development process at this stage is purely repeated between expanding the territory and transforming the planet.

After repeating countless times, the Kryptonians gradually lost their desire to explore the universe, and genetic technology has reached its peak, unable to break through again, and the social class is further solidified. The son of a general will always be a general, and the son of a scientist will always be a scientist.

In the end, the decision-makers of Krypton believed that there was no room for advancement in the development of civilization under this model, and there was no point in continuing to explore space, so they gave up the colonial planet outside and retreated back to the parent planet.

This is the major premise for the destruction of Krypton!

Tens of thousands of years have passed, and due to the over-exploitation of Krypton's core resources, Krypton exploded when Boom hit it.

Many films and comics use similar settings.

2. Hand-made madman Brainiac

There are several Brainiacs, generally referring to Vril Dox, an artificial intelligence (AI) created by Colu.

But after the subsequent self-evolution and replication, not only the scientists who controlled the planet, but also conquered the entire planet. In the process of continuous upgrading, they not only evolved their own abilities, but also evolved their own greed, jealousy, and hatred.

This guy is rampant in the universe, using the shrinking light, he likes to shrink the cities with the best characteristics of each civilization into specimens, and put them in his spaceship for collection.

People gave the nickname: Hand-made Crazy Demon.

In some versions of the comics, Brainiac and Kryptonian feuds join forces to destroy Krypton's core.

Also, in order to collect figures, I blew up Krypton, because the only one is the most commemorative.

There are also some versions that Brainiac himself is the artificial intelligence of Krypton, and later he awakened himself to rebel and blew up Krypton.

...

...

Therefore, in addition to natural reasons, the general DC screenwriters like to set Brainiac as the murderer of the destruction of Krypton, and then Superman has a reason to do it. . .

3. Art is an explosion

In the comic "Sandman: Endless Nights", Rao, the main god of Krypton (RAO), happily went to a party of the gods.

In this party, Rao met Desire among the seven giants of the endless family.

Let me first introduce Rao and Despair.

Rao is the main god of the Kryptonian civilization, and his god is not an indigenous god like Zeus or Odin, but a multiverse-level powerhouse who once participated in the siege and suppression of the Sandman.

It is said that the El family and the Zod family contain part of its blood.

Despair, like the Sandman, is a member of the endless family. There are seven members of this family, all of whom are all-powerful cosmic-level powerhouses. A single thought can erase a multiverse, which is at the same level as the Life Tribunal.

At this party, Rao was sitting there alone drinking and drinking well, but a woman with a pot belly came to him and said: "If you let the civilization of a planet prosper and then destroy it all at once, only Isn't it a very artistic thing for a survivor to commemorate it?"

Rao at the multiverse level can't resist the desperate flicker at the almighty universe level. After thinking about it for two seconds, he thinks it's a good idea...

Then, the fate of all Kryptonites in the DC multiverse is sealed in this conversation.

So, Krypton died for art...

Four. Summary

In fact, having said so much, all the reasons are just made up by the screenwriter for the reasonable appearance of Superman.

If Krypton does not blow up, there will be no birth of Superman, the greatest superhero in the world, let alone the story of the DC universe developed with Superman at its core.
