DC reveals macabre way to kill Kryptonians; find out more

In DC comics, the kryptonians They are beings from another world, that is, from the planet Krypton. Because of this, they have unimaginable powers here on Earth, from extreme strength to heat vision and flight. Kal-El, the most notorious Kryptonian of the race from the destroyed planet, is known as Clark Kent or Superman. However, as everyone calls him, he is not the Last Son of Krypton.

Besides Kal-El, there is also Krypto, Kara Zor-El, his cousin, Superdog, General Zod, father of Kal and Superman himself and villain of Jor-El, and Supergirl. Their weakness is kryptonite, which are shards from their planet and that can kill them. However, DC has presented a new, even worse way to kill a Kryptonian: a death by drowning without being in water.

In Dark Knights of Steel, which is a parallel and medieval world, it is shown how a Kryptonian can die. It was revealed that Harley Quinn is a court jester, Batman is half-Kryptonian, and Wonder Woman is dating Kal-El’s sister, Zala Jor-El. Zala, in turn, is the new version of Supergirl, as powerful as Superman, who doesn’t usually hold back like her cousin in the main universe.

The parallel medieval world version of Supergirl is not as sweet and kind; because of this, she ended up slaughtering King Jefferson and his son, Prince Jacob. Zala was forced to lie to her family and romantic partner, hiding the dark secret of having killed the king and his son.

However, nothing escapes the magician Constantine, a new version of the British scoundrel and occultist John Constantine. He uses black magic to resurrect Prince Jacob and the Lazarus potion to resurrect Jacob, a young man who has the magical ability to produce, manipulate and control water.

Even though Kryptonians have their weakness when exposed to kryptonite, Jacob discovered a new way to kill them. The prince, with his ability to control water, made Supergirl drown in the water produced by his lungs despite the long distance he had.

Thus, she believed she was avenging her father, but ends up having a dark fate at the same time that Wonder Woman was unable to save her after drowning. The scene, in addition to being terrifying and unprecedented, now explores another weakness of the Kryptonians, which emanates once again from magic.
