Kal-El — aka Superman, aka Clark Kent — is often referred to as the last son of Krypton.

It's Kal-El!

While it’s true that Superman enjoys a night out with his friends from time to time, he sadly does not have the power of super-karaoke.

It's super-karaoke...duh!

Collectively known as the Girod, the [11 Kryptonian virtues](http://kryptonian.info/doyle/kryptonian-culture/flag-and-virtues.html) are Home/Family/Belonging, Truth, Peace, Synergy, Imagination, Purity, Justice, Restraint, Hope, Industriousness, and Altruism.

There are 11 Kryptonian virtues!

Its 10 rays and planet collectively represent the 11 Kryptonian virtues (if you were paying attention earlier…).

[This is it](http://kryptonian.info/doyle/kryptonian-culture/flag-and-virtues.html)!

Which makes Kal-El, aka Superman, “[Star Child](https://books.google.com/books?dq=el+means+star+superman&hl=en&id=MElHDwAAQBAJ&lpg=PA5&ots=gbK42XmbWo&pg=PA5&sa=X&sig=bKsyDwalLy3CR_FswRu21JvQNwk&source=bl&ved=0ahUKEwjxkuP_5ZTZAhXSu1MKHd8mDnMQ6AEIYzAN#v=onepage&q=el%20means%20star%20superman&f=false).”

It's this one!

The constant mining and [mishandling of natural resources](http://dccomicsextendeduniverse.wikia.com/wiki/Destruction_of_Krypton) made Superman’s home planet go KABOOM. :(

It implodes due to Kryptonians mining the planet’s core!

Kryptonians worship the sun god [Rao](http://superman.wikia.com/wiki/Rao).

Raoism!

Rao is [red](https://s10.postimg.org/3pien9rl5/image.jpg).

Red!

He is [sent to Earth in a ship](https://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/0/40/1672487-super3.jpg) by his biological parents moments before Krypton explodes.

General Zod was [born on Krypton](http://superman.wikia.com/wiki/General_Zod) and serves as a military general. Brainiac is from the planet [Colu](http://superman.wikia.com/wiki/Brainiac), Lex Luthor is from [Earth](http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Alexander_Luthor_(Prime_Earth)), and Darkseid rules over [Apokolips](http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Apokolips).
