Warning ! hold a preview forDCeased : War of the Undead Gods # 1
Contrary to democratic impression , the latestDCeasedseries is proving that Kryptonians like Superman andSupergirlare not as indestructible as reader have been direct to believe . Throughout classic DC lore , Kryptonians traditionally are not seen to have many weaknesses . Kryptonite ( in all of its forms and colors ; light-green , red , black , etc . ) has proven to be a Kryptonian orca , of course , but there are few ( if any ) other choice that the race needs to be wary of .
Typically , it has been suggested that all someone would need to tip someone like Supergirl would be a piece of music of Kryptonite . On the flip side , anyone without Kryptonite on their side would be out of luck in a tilt with Supergirl , because there are fewother impuissance that could battle a Kryptonian . Except , maybe one that has been long look out on until two of DC ’s up-to-the-minute apocalyptic upshot : the undead .

DCeased : War of the Undead Godscontinues the legacy ofDCeased , which initially see a corrupted version of the Anti - Life Equation wreak havoc on the DC Universe , going as far as to spread a zombie - like computer virus upon the world ’s inhabitants .

It is also worth take note that this will not be the first time that a Kryptonian will be insure as an unwilling subject of the undead , as to begin with this twelvemonth during theDC vs. Vampiresarc , Superman is made into a lamia . From the looks of it , Kryptonians are passably vulnerable to becoming undead as much as any man would be .

Admittedly , the variegate exposure of Kryptonians to vampires has n’t been incredibly consistent , to say the least . Some reader will recall inSuperman#180 by Jeph Leob , Geoff Johns , and Ian Churchill showed Superman basically being resistant to being turned . This is because a bite from a vampire , even Dracula , will disintegrate them instantly since the Man of Steel , and presumptively all Kryptonians , is a walk source of sun . However , in this modernistic interpretation of vampirism within the DC Universe , there is nothing in Kryptonian rip that prevents them from becoming vampires , or zombi judging by Kara ’s latest condition .
It ’s a fascinating prognosis , not to mention troublesome for Kryptonians . It ’s understandablewhy Kryptonite is a major weakness for Kryptonians , as the only way to combat someone otherworldly is with something otherworldly . But for something supernatural to portray itself as an alternate way to overcome Kryptonians is an unexpected twist . It deliver a bittersweet accuracy that in final stage - of - the - existence scenario likeDCeased , not even all - potent hoagy likeSupergirlare dependable , as readers will see whenWar of the Undead Gods#1 drops on August 9 .
