Kly-Anth (Earth-One)

Kly-Anth was a native of the planet, Krypton. By Kryptonian year 9876, Kly-Anth was one of the wealthiest property owners in the entire city-state of Kandor. However, he discovered that an ambitious architect named Gam-El had been contracted to rebuild the ruined city of Kryptonopolis – a city devastated in a savage conflict known as the Last War. Further, Gam-El had petitioned the Kryptonian Science Council to make Kryptonopolis the planet's new capital city. Were this to occur, many citizens would leave Kandor for the new city and Kly-Anth stood to lose a fortune. Determined to halt Kryptonopolis' reconstruction by any means possible, he hired a group of young saboteurs to set explosives on several building foundations. The bombs destroyed the structures and Gam-El sought the help of his brother, Pym-El, a security officer from Kandor. Pym-El used a device called a Thought Tracker-Eye, and quickly discovered the identities of the saboteurs. He tricked them into revealing the name of the man who had hired them to destroy the new capital. Pym-El and Gam-El returned to Kandor and placed Kly-Anth under arrest.
