Kryptonians were the dominant species of the planet Krypton.

[edit] History

In appearance, Kryptonians were virtually identical to human beings. Physiologically, they were vastly different. Under the influence of a yellow sun like Earth's, Kryptonians would gain almost unimaginable superpowers: superhuman strength and speed, invulnerability to almost any physical harm, enhanced senses, flight, and heat vision.

Super-powered Kryptonians were, however, particularly vulnerable to the radioactive remains of Krypton itself - kryptonite.

Only a handful of Kryptonians survived the planet's destruction - Superman, and the convicted criminals Mala and Jax-Ur. Supergirl is the last surviving member of the related Argoan species.
