Jarhanpurians are a powerful extraterrestrial species, originated from the destroyed planet Jarhanpur. In the histories of both Earth-38 and Earth-Prime, most of the Jarhanpurians who survived Jarhanpur's destruction decided to settle on Earth.
History[]
Original multiverse[]
After the destruction of their home planet, a convoy of Jarhanpurians came to Earth. Their leader, called the Elder, gave Rama Khan the title of "Guardian of the Earth". As such, Rama Khan used his powers to advance Humans through tragedy.
Eventually, the organization dubbed Leviathan was created.
Rama Khan was stripped of his leadership by the Elder.[1]
New multiverse[]
After the destruction of Janhanpur, at least five members of the long-lived species relocated to Earth. The group hid their spacecraft under their future headquarters, and made it that the ship emits a form of radiation that is lethal to anyone except Jarhanpurians.[2]
The group developed the organisation Leviathan, and throughout history the organisation showed up in a number of pieces of literature, particularly in reference to the actions of Rama Khan.[3]
At some point, Rama Khan lost three rings.[2] Eventually, they became located in the Fortress of Solitude.[3]
In more recent times, Gamemnae, posing as "Gemma Cooper", became the visible leader of the organisation while the Elder conversed with her behind-the-scenes.
Three Jarhanpurians, Rama Khan, Tezumak, and Sela, worked together in an attempt to kill Supergirl and her Superfriends, but they were captured and bottled by Querl Dox and eventually given to Lillian Luthor.[2]
Lex absorbed the unique powers and immortality of the three captives as Gamemnae battled the Superfriends; Gamemnae was destroyed by the Anti-life equation,[4] but the ultimate fate of the other Jarhanpurians is unknown after they were bottled.
Powers and abilities[]
Powers[]
- Regeneration: Jarhanpurians possess an extremely potent healing factor, able to quickly recover from virtually any wound. Their healing factor renders them practically immortal.
- Reconstitution: The Jarhanpurian regenerative ability is such potent, they can even reconstitute their entire body after it was destroyed. After Rama Khan, Tezumak and Sela were destroyed by Supergirl, the ashes that remained of the Jarhanpurians reformed into the original individuals.[2]
- Extended longevity: Jarhanpurians are extremely long-lived. In fact, they are nearly immortal; the first generation of Jarhanpurians that immigrated to Earth are still alive in the modern era, even though they came to Earth several million years ago.
- Unique physiology: It appears that each Jarhanpurian has an additional unique power(s), which, in certain cases, can fundamentally affect their physiology. Rama Khan is geokinetic,[5] Gamemnae is technokinetic, Tezumak is pyrokinetic and Sela is electrokinetic.[6]
Weaknesses[]
- Jarhanpurium: Just like how the remnants of Krypton, Kryptonite, is lethal to Kryptonians. Jarhanpurium is extremely lethal to Jarhanpurians, the only known material capable of rendering them mortal and powerless.[4]
- Technology: With the exception of Gamemnae (due to her technokinetic power, but still only to a limited degree), Jarhanpurians are susceptible to their own technology and that of Coluans.[2]
