Editing Krypton (comics) (section)

====Post-''Birthright'' revisions====
Beginning with ''[[Infinite Crisis]]'', writer [[Geoff Johns]] began laying subtle hints to a new origin for Superman. [[Superman: Last Son|''Last Son'']], a storyline co-written by Geoff Johns and ''Superman'' film director [[Richard Donner]], further delves into this version of Krypton which reintroduces [[General Zod]] and the Phantom Zone criminals into mainstream continuity as well as the crystalline technology known as "''Sunstones''". With art by [[Adam Kubert]], the design of Kryptonian society is distinct yet again from ''Birthright'', incorporating elements of both Pre-''Crisis on Infinite Earths'' continuity and Donner's work on the first two [[Christopher Reeve]] films, in particular the notion of Krypton's Council threatening Jor-El with harsh punishment if he were to make public his predictions of their planet's imminent doom.<ref name="lastson">{{Cite comic | writer = [[Geoff Johns|Johns, Geoff]], [[Richard Donner]] | artist = [[Adam Kubert|Kubert, Adam]] | story = Last Son | title = [[Action Comics]] | issue = #844–846, #851, ''Annual'' #11 | date = December 2006–July 2008 | publisher = DC Comics | location = New York}}</ref> This variation of Krypton's past was again seen in flashbacks during Johns' ''[[Brainiac (story arc)|Brainiac]]'' and ''[[New Krypton]]'' story arcs. The very different depictions of Kryptonian clothing in the Golden and Silver Age comics, in the Christopher Reeve films, and in John Byrne's ''The Man of Steel'' all appeared in Johns' ''[[Superman: Secret Origin]]'' (which superseded ''[[The Man of Steel (comics)|The Man of Steel]]'' and ''[[Superman: Birthright]]'').

Multi-ethnic versions of Kryptonians that resemble [[Ethnic groups of Africa|Africans]], [[Indigenous Australians]], [[Pacific Islanders]], [[Indigenous peoples of the Americas|Indigenous Americans]], and [[Asians]] have also made appearances in the stories. Previously, "black" Kryptonians were mainly confined within the Kryptonian continent of [[Vathlo Island]], but a 2011 storyline depicted Kryptonians resembling black and Asian humans who were more integrated into Kryptonian society than they were in the Silver and pre-Modern Age DC Universe.<ref>Brady, Matt (January 7, 2009).
