==='''Kl'rt/the flame dragon of Krypton'''===

Too little, too late, the Science Council of Krypton had barely launched their space ark program's first test capsule when the Devourer came to their world. Safe in the tiny craft, the young snagriff (a small dragonlike creature that plays much the same role in Kryptonian science as the chimpanzee does on Earth) Kl'rt watched, uncomprehending, as his whole world was destroyed. Uncontrolled, the capsule hurtled off into the void, its lone occupant bombarded by untold cosmic energies. It was dumb luck that guided the capsule to Earth. Unharmed in the crash, Kl'rt soon found that he was practically invulnerable, able to stretch and bend into any number of outlandish shapes, stronger than a dragon 500 times his size, at least as smart as the average human, able to fly at speeds he never would have imagined before (without moving his wings, no less), and could turn invisible or light himself on fire at will. He is the flame dragon of Krypton
