Kryptonians

Kryptonians are a humanoid species that hail from the late planet Krypton.

Overview
Kryptonians came from a planet far from Earth and possessed technology far beyond the technologies of humanity. Their planet however was on the verge of total destruction and only a select few managed to survive Krypton's destruction and either fled to other worlds or were trapped in the Phantom Zone.

Appearance
Despite hailing from another world, Kryptonians are not all that dissimilar to humans. The only difference between them and humans however are they powers under either a yellow or blue sun.

Powers & Abilities

 * Invulnerability: Under the effects of either a yellow or blue sun, Kryptonians are virtually impervious to all forms of physical harm and have a resistance to pain. Kryptonians also have an immunity to virtually all known toxins and ailments.
 * Solar Energy Absorption: Under the effects of a yellow or blue sun, Kryptonians absorb it's solar energy which give them their powers.
 * Superhuman Strength: All Kryptonians are known to possess the ability to lift an indeterminate amount of weight with great ease with little to no effort. They can also apply this strength into combat as well and can break a human arm with no effort.
 * Superhuman Speed: Kryptonians are capable of moving at speeds rivaling the world's fastest fighter jets and break the sound barrier. It is unknown as to whether or not they are capable of moving faster than light.
 * Superhuman Hearing: On Earth, Kryptonians have the ability to hear things no other human being is capable of hearing and at great distances too. They can also single out distinctive sounds as well if they are focused enough.
 * Accelerated Healing: Despite their virtually impenetrable skin, Kryptonians possess a healing factor, giving them the ability to heal faster than a human being.
 * Super Breath: The respiratory system of a Kryptonians is similar, yet the only difference is that Kryptonians can take in a great deal of air and expel it with hurricane force winds. They can also freeze their breath as well.
 * Flight: On Krypton, the gravity was much stronger than that on Earth, so strong that it could kill a human being. On Earth however, gravity is not a boundary for Kryptonians and they can defy it at will.
 * Heat Vision: Kryptonians are known to emit concentrated beams of intense heat from their eyes, which comes in the color of plasma blue or cyan. They can also control the temperature of their heat vision.
 * X-Ray Vision: Kryptonians are capable of seeing through virtually any solid surface, giving them the ability to know what's on the other side of a building and even see down miles underground.

Weaknesses

 * Kryptonite: A radioactive piece of the Krypton, Kryptonians exposed to Kryptonite will become weakened within either close proximity or by being pierced by weapons laced with the element.
 * Lead: Despite it having no lethal effects on Kryptonians, lead is one element they are incapable of seeing through.
 * Red Sun Energy: The energy from a red sun is known to be the Kryptonian's natural sun and therefore, exposure to it will make them the equivalent of a human being on Earth.

Culture & Technology
The technology of Kryptonians is known to be thousands of years ahead of anything found on Earth. They have mastered the use of interstellar travel as well as creation of holograms through the use of crystals. They also appear to have a forcefield generator which enables them to be immune to the effects of Kryptonite, though it can be easily destroyed by those with superhuman strength.

Kryptonians were also known to have created portals leading to a dimensional plain known as the Phantom Zone which they used as a prison. Their weapons were also extremely advanced, most likely energy based.
