The planet Krypton was born six billion years ago in a solar system inhabited by a red sun later named Rao. Thousands of years later, sentient life evolved and led the way to a renowned intellectual society. The planet was conquered by the Vrangs until a Kryptonian named Hatu-El led a successful rebellion. Krypton prospered into a advanced scientific civilization but had its share of internal military conflicts. Unknown until generations later, the uranium core of the planet was becoming increasingly unstable and resulted in its destruction.
Only two scientists believed in the planet's fate, Jor-El and his brother Zor-El. They contructed lifeboat spaceships to contain their progeny. The ship's were preprogrammed to lock onto and travel to Earth. Zor-El's, however, was caught in the implosion. It arrived to Earth decades later in the form of a giant Kryptonite meteor. Superman, Batman, and Toyman were able to destroy it before it crashed on Earth. The fragment holding Kara Zor-El and her ship fell into the Gotham Harbor.
