Description
Krypton is a fictional planet appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. The planet is the native world of Superman and is named after the element Krypton. The planet was created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, and was first referred to in Action Comics #1 (June 1938). The planet made its first full appearance in Superman #1 (Summer 1939).

Krypton is also the native world of Supergirl, Krypto the Superdog, and Power Girl (in her case, an alternate-universe version designated "Krypton-Two"). It has been consistently described as having been destroyed shortly after Superman's escape from the planet, although the exact details of its destruction vary by time period and writers. Kryptonians were the dominant species on Krypton.

Krypton also makes an appearance in the television series Adventures of Superman, Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, Smallville, Supergirl, and a TV series with same name. Krypton made its film debut in the 1978 film Superman, 2006 film, Superman Returns, and the 2013 film Man of Steel, set in the DC Extended Universe.
