Streaky

2005-06-22T22:32:34Z

J. Michael Reiter: /* The Super-Cat */

== The Super-Cat ==

The mischievous feline pet of Linda Lee Danvers [[Supergirl]], Streaky had on-again, off-again super powers due to exposure to [[Kryptonite X]], a failed [[Kryptonite]] antidote attempt by Supergirl (Act No.261, Feb 1960: "Supergirl's Super-Pet"; and others).

An ordinary-looking orange cat with white lightning-bolt markings on either side of his body, Streaky was a member of the [[Legion of Super-Pets]].

His 30th Century descendant is named [[Whizzy]].

Kryptonite

2005-05-06T19:08:32Z

J. Michael Reiter:

The term used to designate any surviving fragment of the exploded planet [[Krypton]], home world of [[Superman]]. These varieties of kryptonite are similarly hazardous to [[Supergirl]], [[Krypto|Krypto the Superdog]], [[Beppo|Beppo the Supermonkey]], and all other surviving natives of Krypton, unless otherwise noted. (edited and modified from TGSB)

Full list of every type of Kryptonite that has appeared in the chronicles is as follows:

0. '''K-Metal''': A prototype Kryptonite from the famous unpublished Golden Age Superman story by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster called "The K-Metal from Krypton!". It has the same weakening effect on kryptonians as Green Kryptonite, with the additional effect of temporarily granting tremendous strength and possibly other super-powers to normal non-powered people.

1. '''Green Kryptonite''': Green kryptonite, the only variety potentially fatal to Superman, induces lassitude and inertia followed by death if not removed in time from Superman's presence. (TGSB)

2. '''Red Kryptonite''': Red kryptonite inflicts bizarre and unpredictable—albeit temporary and nonfatal—symptoms, as when it divides Superman into twins or transforms him into an infant or a giant ant.(TGSB) It's effects last only 48 hours and is never repeated on the same Kryptonian again.

3. '''Gold Kryptonite''': Gold kryptonite would permanently rob Superman of his super-powers were he ever to be exposed to its radiations.(TGSB)

4. '''[[Blue Kryptonite]]''': Blue kryptonite is toxic only to [[Bizarro]] creatures.(TGSB)

5. '''White Kryptonite''': White kryptonite is harmful only to plant life.(TGSB)

6. '''Jewel Kryptonite''': 1st appeared in Act No. 310. Created by [[Jax-Ur]] of the [[Phantom Zone]]. "That chunk of Jewel K in orbit magnifies our mental commands and converts them into energy beams which detonate any explosive material we desire."

7. '''X-Kryptonite''': Accidentally created by [[Supergirl]], it gives [[Streaky]] the Supercat powers beyond those of meer mortal cats.

8. '''Red-Green Kryptonite''': Red-Green Kryptonite 1st appeared in the story "The Menace of Red-Green Kryptonite!" in Act No. 275.

9. '''Anti-Kryptonite''': A freak type of Kryptonite which affects only non-super Kryptonians.

10. '''Slow Kryptonite''': Created by [[Metallo]]. It is "able to slow down the rate of particle emissions enough to affect humans as it does Kryptonians." B&B No. 175

11. '''Kryptonite-Plus''': 1st appeared in Act #350."a super-powerful isotope that will finish off [Kryptonians] in minutes".

12. '''Magno-Kryptonite''': 1st appeared in SPJO No. 92. Created by Truff, from the planet Pyron. "It [clings] with unbreakable force to anything that comes from Krypton".

13. '''Silver Kryptonite''': A fake Kryptonite created by [[Jimmy Olsen]] as a hoax for Superman's Silver Anniversary.

14. '''Yellow Kryptonite''': A synthetic Kryptonite created by [[Lex Luthor]] as a hoax to mentally torture Superman.

15. '''False Kryptonite''': Created by [[Supergirl]] using magic from a wishing well from a piece of Green Kryptonite, it is perfectly harmless.

16. '''Synthetic Kryptonite''': Synthetic versions of Green Kryptonite created in laboratories.

17. '''Mutated kryptonite''': A white card with a [[Kryptonian]] symbol on it used by the villain [[Zo-Mar]] was made from an unnamed form of mutated kryptonite that robbed any [[Kryptonian]] of his powers when he was very near it, but which was not otherwise harmful and had no permenant effect. (DCCP No. 84).

Whenever the word kryptonite appears in this encyclopedia without a specific color designation, it is green kryptonite, the most common variety, that is being referred to. (See [[Superman]] [ [[Superman#Kryptonite|section 7.1, kryptonite]] ].)

Proty II

2005-05-06T19:06:29Z

J. Michael Reiter:

A Protean creature from the same planet in the Antares system that Proty (I) hails from, who is a member of the [[Legion of Super-Pets]]. Telepathic and protoplasmic like all members of his race, Proty II has the power to change his shape at will to any form he chooses.

In November 1963, when [[Saturn Woman]] poses as the enchantress [[Circe]] as part of [[Superman]]'s plan to defeat the [[Superman Revenge Squad]], Proty II aids in the impersonation by molding his "protoplasmic body" around Superman's face and assuming, in turn, the form of a lion's head and then that of a mouse's head to make it appear that Circe has used her legendary powers to give the Man of Steel different heads (S No. 165/1: pts 1-II --"Beauty and the Super-Beast";"Circe's Super-Slave").

[[image:Krypto_in_flight.JPG|Thumb|220 px|Krypto in flight, by Curt Swan, for DC Comics]]

The super-powered white dog from the planet [[Krypton]] that is the pet and canine companion of [[Superman]]. A member of the [[Legion of Super-Pets]], and Space Canine Patrol Agency, Krypto wears a yellow dog collar and a flowing red cape emblazoned with a yellow '''"S-"''' Symbol identical to Superman's. The text frequently refer to Krypto as the Dog of Steel.

As a puppy on the planet Krypton, where he had no super-powers, Krypto was the playful pet of baby [[Kal-El]], the infant Superman. But as the hour of Krypton's doom drew ever closer, Superman's father, [[Jor-El]], nursing the faint hope that his ongoing "experiments with small rockets" might yet save his son, launched Krypto into outer space in a tiny rocket as a final trial run, intending for the dog-carrying rocket to return safely to Krypton after making one or more orbits of the planet. "By a cosmic mischance," however, "a meteor struck the trial rocket out of orbit" and sent it careening into space, and although Jor-El did succeed in launching his infant son toward Earth in the final moments of the cataclysm, Krypto appeared lost forever in the interplanetary void. For years, the rocket bearing Krypto drifted through space, ultimately to arrive on Earth, where, like any native of Krypton, Krypto acquired super-powers like Superman's and was happily reunited with his beloved master, who was at that time a teen-ager growing up in [[Smallville]] in the home of his foster parents, [[Jonathan and Martha Kent]].

[[Superboy]]—the teenaged Superman—fashioned a cape for Krypto modeled after his own, and Krypto, now grown into a fully developed "superdog," became his frequent companion in super-heroic adventures.

Krypto's super-powers—including X-ray vision, super-strength, invulnerability, and the power of flight—are similar, if not identical, to Superman's own, although his strength is undoubtedly not as great as Superman's, just as the strength of an ordinary dog is not as great as that of an ordinary man. On the other hand, however, Krypto's super-hearing and "super-keen sense of smell" are probably more acute in a canine than in an ordinary human being. Like any surviving native of Krypton, Krypto the Superdog is vulnerable to [[kryptonite]].

Described as Superman's "faithful pet super-dog", Krypto is fully aware that his master, Superman, is also [[Clark Kent]].

Krypto loves to romp and play in outer space, visiting distant worlds; cavorting in and about his [[Doghouse of Solitude]], a large floating doghouse which he has constructed out of meteoric fragments; and mischievously chasing comets, "just as Earth-dogs chase cars!"

In order to summon Krypto home from his distant wanderings, Superman either signals him by whistling at a highly pitched supersonic frequency which only Krypto's ears can hear, or else summons him by means of "super-ventriloquism," a ventriloquistic technique that enables Superman to throw his voice over exceedingly long distances. On at least one occasion, when absolute secrecy is called for, the Man of Steel employes "supersonic ventriloquism," a form of super-ventriloquism in which Superman's voice is pitched so high that only Krypto can hear it.

Krypto, for his part, communicates with Superman by means of a special "barking code"—similar to Morse code—taught to him by Superman when the Man of Steel was a teenager.
