![]() ![]() Starting in 1960, the fact that Earth's sun was yellow while Krypton's was red became the explanation for Superman's powers, with our sunlight fueling them like the charge of a battery. In the early years of Superman comics, the sun of Krypton was unnamed and was given no effect on Superman's powers, which were attributed first to greater evolution, and then to a combination of innate powers and Earth's lower gravity. For instance, 'By Rao, that curry is hot' or 'Thank Rao you're ok'. As such the name was sometimes invoked in the comics as a Kryptonian exclamation. "Rao" is also later written into the Superman mythology as the name of a Kryptonian deity, the personification of their sun, worshipped as a god of light and life. The title also refers to a supervillain of the same name and same Kryptonian etymology. It is the red giant (in some continuities, red dwarf ) that the planet Krypton orbited. Rao is a fictional star in the DC Comics Universe. Walt Simonson Greg Hildebrand (New 52) Bryan Hitch ![]()
