Kryptonians (UE-43)

"Kryptonians are peaceful people. At least the majority of us."

- Lara Lor-Van

Kryptonians are a species that were native to Krypton before its destruction.

History
At some point in Krypton's history, the planet's natural resources started to exhaust, and the people later discovered the planet's destruction coming. They then started a war which aggravated the ruin and resulted in its explosion. During the destruction, Kal-El was sent to Earth and was known as the "Last Son" of Krypton. However, it was not true and Kal-El's half-brother Tal-Rho had also been sent to Earth prior to Krypton's demise.
