HISTORY

Krypton-Two is the name given to the second world created by the alien beings known as the Sun-Thrivers. The planet was needed by the Sun-Thrivers to stabilize their solar environment as they resided within a sun. Krypton-Two was comprised of kryptonite, the remnants of the original planet Krypton which the Sun-Thrivers claimed they had created; after creating the star Rao itself.

A few years later, Krypton-Two exploded. Portions of the kryptonite made its way to Earth, due to the machinations of the criminal organization known as SKULL.
