The Last Days of Krypton	comment	The Last Days of Krypton is an origin story for Superman, written by Kevin J. Anderson in 2007. Drawing from over 70 years of Superman mythos, it gives readers a look at Kryptonian society before its planet explodes.Jor-El is a brilliant scientist, whose research and progress is continually stymied by the Ruling Council of Krypton, more specifically the Technology Commisioner Dru-Zod, who confiscates many of his inventions 'for the safety of the public'. What Jor-El doesn't know is Zod is actually hoarding his devices for his own use at a later date. While researching a singularity he created that leads to a 'Phantom Zone', Jor-El meets an artist by the name of Lara Lor-Van, and the two quickly start a relationship. However, Jor-El is worried that their planet may be on the road to destruction...The incredibly static Kryptonian society is given the shake-up of a lifetime when it is visited by aliens- the artificial intelligence dubbed Brainiac in particular, who steals the entire capital city of Kandor, creating a power vacuum on Krypton. Seeing this as his chance, Zod quickly takes control, and dubs himself General. As the power-struggle radically escalates, only Jor-El is worried about the planet's possible demise.

The Last Days of Krypton / int_14ed6ab7	comment	Does This Remind You of Anything?: In-universe example; parallels are drawn between Zod's policies and that of Jax-Ur, a conqueror from ancient Krypton. After Zod's rise to power, his followers start wearing blue armbands. Obstructive politicians ignore the El brothers' warnings about Krypton's geological instability because they don't understand their science and don't want to accept the reality of the situation if it's true. The parallels to the climate change debate are easy to draw.

The Last Days of Krypton / int_19209d54	comment	Sibling Rivalry: Inverted: Jor-El and Zor-El are both brilliant scientists and engineers, mostly specializing in different fields. They have a great deal of respect for one another. Jor-El thinks his brother is a bit brash and impulsive (he's not wrong) and Zor-El considers his brother to be a bit naÃ¯ve and idealistic (he's not wrong, either). On Aethyr's suggestion, Zod takes advantage of the resentment many of the noble families younger members. Under the original regime, each families' firstborn would receive positions of power, while their younger siblings are reduced to empty luxury. Before Kandor's abduction, one Koll-Em attempted to launch a coup against his older brother Shor-Em in Borga City. Zod wins the support of the younger siblings by offering them status they would not have gained otherwise.

Important characters from the lakeside district of Orvai and the mining city Corril appear, but the cities themselves don't. A city named Ilonia is briefly mentioned three times, but receives no description.The rest of the planet's cities (of which there are at least seventeen), towns and villages are unnamed and only mentioned in passing to describe how the main characters; efforts are influencing people elsewhere.

Meanwhile, the rest of the guards assigned to him aren't evil or ill-intentioned to begin with, but are too easily awed by him, follow bad orders when threatened, and eventually end up Jumping Off the Slippery Slope.

The Last Days of Krypton / int_33d5b7f2	comment	Adapted Out: In the comics, the Phantom Zone hosts scores of colorful prisoners convicted of crimes of varying severity. Here, Zod and his followers are the only inmates at the time of Krypton's destruction. Jor-El and Zor-El's brother Nim-El, nephew Don-El, and cousins Kru-El, Van-Zee, and Thara all appear in the Silver Age comics the book borrows a lot from (all of them were in either the Phantom Zone or Kandor when Krypton was destroyed). In this book, none of them are mentioned and the house of El is seemingly composed of just Jor-El and his father and brother. Lar-Gand, a traveler from a nearby planet who visits Krypton shortly before its destruction and befriends Jor-El in multiple continuities, is absent from this novel.

His idea lets six selfish, boneheaded councilors completely ignore their five more reasonable colleagues (including Jor-El) due to having a majority vote, leading to Krypton's destruction.

First, he was afraid that their sun, Rao, could go supernova. Then it was pressure building up in their planet's core. Then an impending comet collision. But in the end, it's none of these things. The Ruling Council decide to throw Jor-El's Phantom Zone projector into a giant hole created to deal with threat #2, despite Jor-El's repeated warnings that the projector is actually a self-contained singularity. Said singularity proceeds to eat the planet's core, causing the loss of mass to destabilize and destroy the world. Indeed, the fact that Jor-El was wrong about (or at least managed to avert) the other threats, is what makes the Council refuse to take him seriously about the dangers of their plan.

The Last Days of Krypton / int_dca70c44	comment	Reasonable Authority Figure: Zod's late father and former Council Head Cor-Zod was this. Even after his quick power grab, silencing of dissidents, senseless destruction of a rival city and pompous warmongering, General Zod sees himself as this. Zor-El is a selfless and innovative mayor, resists Zod's tyranny, and pays attention to his brother's concerns about the safety of Krypton. Councilors Cera-Si and Mauro-Ji can be a little reactionary but generally hear Jor-El out and consider his claims whenever he has the data to back them up. Cera is also the only councilor who actually wants at least some change in their stagnant society. No-Ton is the only member of Zod's inner circle besides Jor-El to realize how unstable he is and defect. His efforts lead to him becoming part of the new council after Zod is defeated. No-Ton objects to efforts to phase out Jor-El, warns Jor-El about Tyr-Us and his cronies trying to destroy the Phantom Zone and endanger Krypton, and then spends the last few chapters of the book desperately working on a Homeworld Evacuation. Councilors Gal-Eth and Or-Om help lead the resistance against Zod, show concern about the path Tyr-Us and his allies are taking, and join No-Ton's Homeworld Evacuation attempts. Korth-Or initially doesn't believe Jor-El's warnings that trying to destroy the Phantom Zone will doom Krypton, but opposes doing so until they understand the science more. He is also concerned when Tyr-Us and his majority bloc confirm votes without even asking the other five council members.

The Last Days of Krypton / int_e31904d1	comment	Allergic to Routine: Councilor Cera-Si frequently requests breaks during ponderous Council meetings and has declined multiple offers to join the priesthood because he dislikes the idea of standing around for hours and staring at the sun (with protective eyewear).

The Last Days of Krypton / int_e5a93e61	comment	Gal-Eth and Or-Om are last mentioned as having joined No-Ton's failed Homeworld Evacuation efforts. However, they aren't mentioned in No-Ton's last scene, leaving a slight possibility that they may have gone to Argo City to seek the protection of its forcefield.

The Last Days of Krypton / int_e83f211c	comment	O.O.C. Is Serious Business: In-Universe, Jor-El recognizes that Gur-Va must be on trial for something particularly awful when Councilor Kor-Te requests that the Council not keep a record of the trial "so that future generations need not be sickened by it."

The Last Days of Krypton / int_eb0d7317	type	Men of Sherwood
The Last Days of Krypton / int_eb0d7317	comment	Men of Sherwood: The Argo City guards. Not a a single one of them is named, but they do a good job of reacting to threats and helping Zor-El prepare the city's defense. They also form the core of the La RÃ©sistance army against General Zod and defeat his better-armed and more experienced army without War Is Hell levels of bloodshed. While they seem Doomed by Canon to casual Superman fans like in the comics, they survive the destruction of Krypton due to the force field surrounding Argo City.

The Last Days of Krypton / int_eba6a077	comment	Cain and Abel: Shor-Em, the ruler of Borga Ciy, is an unusually selfish and grasping "Abel," but his brother Koll-Em is a perfect "Cain." Koll-Em was exiled for a greedy coup attempt in the past and has no qualms whatsoever with Zod killing his brother (and half the population of Borga City) after Koll-Em becomes one of the dictator's lieutenants.

The Last Days of Krypton / int_f6a9024b	comment	Altar the Speed: After he's framed for causing an accident that killed an alien envoy, Lara moves up her and Jor-El's wedding date. She does this out of a determination to stand by Jor-El through the worst. Zod volunteers to be the presiding official for the wedding (in a self-serving ploy to earn Jor-El's loyalty), speeding up the ceremony even further to accommodate his schedule.

The Last Days of Krypton / int_fd32c5a1	comment	Don't Make Me Destroy You: Zod delays attacking Argo City after its mayor turns against him due to Zor-El's earlier cooperation with him in eliminating environmental threats to the planet and because he doesn't want to alienate Zor-El's brother. He also gives Zor-El an hour to surrender peacefully when his army marches towards Argo City. However, once Zor-El outsmarts and humiliates Zod by unveiling a new energy shield that protects Argo City, this attitude vanishes, and Zod becomes very willing to destroy Zor-El (not that he succeeds).

He also declines to stay in Argo City out of fear that he'll endanger Zor-El and Alura by doing so.
