Daxamites

Daxamites are a humanoid species that hail from the planet Daxam.

History
Hundreds of years ago the Daxamites and Kryptonians fought a huge war against each other to a stalemate. Thousands of lives were lost, and the cause for the war remains unknown, each insisting the other started it.

Overview
Daxamites generally do not get along with Kryptonians; due to Kryptonians' arrogant and self-righteous traits.

According to Kryptonian teachings, Daxamites are a race of hierarchies ruled by kings and queens. Their race is known to Kryptonians to be selfish-bullies, who care more about their own profit than the welfare of others.

Mon-El has claimed that Daxamites;
 * Buy and sell other species as part of their slave trade.
 * Engage in public shaming after a person was found guilty.
 * Don't consider homosexuality an issue.
 * Celebrate new relationships with big parties.

Appearance
Despite hailing from another world, Daxamites are indistinguishable from humans.

Powers

 * Solar energy absorption: The Daxamites' physiology is similar to the Kryptonians physiology. Both have powers in common. Daximites' powers come from a source, presumably a yellow or blue sun.
 * Super strength: The Daxamites have great strength. They are strong enough to fight Kryptonians on equal terms.
 * Super speed: The Daxamites' unique physiology presumably under a yellow or blue sun allows them to move at incredible speed.
 * Super leaping: The Daxamites' incredibly strong legs have the ability to do incredibly high jumps in a single bound, while they can also land from several stories without any damage or harm.
 * Invulnerability: The Daxamites' skin presumably under a yellow or blue sun cannot be penetrated by sharpend objects, chemicals or other toxins. They can suffer from great physical traumas, however, they will feel pain and sometimes weak.
 * Photosynthesis: The Daxamites are able to absorb electrical energy around them to repair themselves at a cellular level.
 * Accelerated healing factor: The Daxamites are able to heal much faster than normal humans; due to them absorbing energy.

Abilities

 * Multilingual: Daxamites are capable of learning to speak other languages very quickly.

Weaknesses

 * Green Kryptonite: Like Kryptonians, Daxamites can suffer effects when exposed to Green Kryptonite.
 * Lead: If lead stays in the Daxamites' system for too long, they will die from the poisoning.

Culture and technology
The Daxamites' form of government was monarchy, with their planet being ruled by kings and queens. The monarchy supported and practiced slavery. They also believed in public punishment for law breakers.

Like the Kryptonians, Daxamites worship the red sun god Rao and most likely share similar religious customs and traditions associated with Rao.

Behind the scenes

 * In the DC comics, Daxamites have similar powers to Kryptonians, yet opposite weaknesses; as they are vulnerable to the inert element of lead, instead of the radioactive element of Green Kryptonite, and the radiation of a red sun will not rob them of their powers, as it would with Kryptonians.
