  • The Absolute Universe's take on the destruction of Krypton takes a much more horrifying turn than the original, redefining Superman's backstory.

The article from MSN discusses a significant overhaul in the lore of Superman's home planet, Krypton, as presented in the latest comic series "Superman: House of Brainiac Special." Traditionally, Krypton's destruction was depicted as a natural catastrophe due to the planet's unstable core. However, the new narrative introduces a darker twist where Brainiac, an alien supercomputer, is revealed to have played a pivotal role in Krypton's demise. Brainiac, known for collecting cities from various planets, had previously taken Kandor, Krypton's capital, before the planet's destruction. The new storyline suggests that Brainiac's actions might have directly or indirectly led to or accelerated Krypton's destruction, making the event not just a natural disaster but a consequence of alien interference. This reimagining adds layers of complexity to Superman's origin story, intertwining themes of fate, intervention, and the moral implications of advanced technology.
