The
planet Krypton faces imminent destruction due to its unstable

their naturally conceived newborn son Kal-El on a spacecraft to
Earth, infusing his cells with a genetic codex to preserve the

and his followers are captured by Kryptonian soldiers and banished
to the Phantom Zone. However, Krypton explodes some time afterwards.
