Knowing that many book friends are puzzled by the destruction of Krypton, French fries are here to do a simple science popularization for everyone, if there is any fallacy, please correct it.

After all, how could a top-level civilization that could dominate 28 galaxies perish because of the explosion of its home planet?

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

1. Krypton explodes and perishes naturally

Take the most well-known DCEU as an example, that 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 navigation has become commonplace for them, and has colonized 28 galaxies, and even has something like the 'World Engine' that can change the surface ecology at will.

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

Just imagine, in the course of nearly 100,000 years of exploration, no other civilization in the Kryptonian world has been able to pose a threat to them by force.

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

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

After repeated countless times, the Kryptonians gradually lost their desire to explore the universe, and genetic technology also reached its peak, unable to break through again, and the social class was further solidified, the general's son will always be a general, and the scientist's son will always be a scientist.

In the end, the Kryptonian decision-makers believed that there was no room for growth in the development of civilization under this mode, and there was no point in continuing to explore space, so they gave up the colonized planet outside and retracted back to the home planet.

This is the premise of the destruction of Krypton!

Tens of thousands of years have passed, due to the overexploitation of Krypton's core resources, and then Boom's Krypton exploded.

Many films, television, and comics use similar settings.

Second, the figure madman Brainac

There are several Brainiacs, commonly referred to as Vril Dox, which are 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, and in the process of continuous upgrading, they not only evolved their own abilities, but also evolved their own greed, jealousy, and hatred.

This guy runs rampant in the universe, using shrunken light, and likes to shrink the best characteristic cities of various civilizations into specimens and put them in his own spaceship for collection.

People give nicknames: Figure Maniac.

In some versions of the comics, Brainiac and Krypton's feud have teamed up to destroy Krypton's core.

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

There are also some versions that Breniac himself is an artificial intelligence of Krypton, and later self-awakened and rebelled and blew up Krypton.

……

……

So, in addition to natural reasons, the average DC screenwriter likes to set Brainiac as the murderer of Krypton's destruction, and then Superman has a reason to do it...

3. Art is an explosion

In the Sandman: Endless Nights comic, Rao, the main god of Krypton, happily goes to a party of the gods.

During this party, Rao encounters Desire among the Endless Family's Big Seven.

Let's start with Rao and despair.

Rao is the main god of the Kryptonian civilization, and his god is not an indigenous god such as Zeus and Odin, but a multiverse-level powerhouse who has participated in the encirclement and suppression of the nebuta.

It is said that the El family and the Zodd family have part of its bloodline in their bodies.

Despair is the same as the Sandman, they are all members of the Endless Family, there are seven members of this family, all of them are all-powerful universe-level powerhouses, and a single thought can erase a multiverse, which is at the same level as the Court of Life.

At this party, Rao was sitting alone drinking and drinking, but a pot-bellied woman approached him and said, "Wouldn't it be a very artistic thing to let the civilization of a planet prosper and destroy it all at once, leaving only a survivor to commemorate it?" ”

Where could Rao, who was at the level of the multiverse, resist the flickering of despair at the level of the omniverse universe, and after thinking about it for two seconds, he thought it was a good idea......

Then, the fate of all Kryptonians in the DC multiverse was decided in this conversation.

So, Krypton perished for the sake of art......

Fourth, 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 hadn't exploded, there would have been no birth of Superman, the world's greatest superhero, let alone the story of the DC universe with Superman as the core.
