 * : Under the effects of a "yellow" sun,

This template provides a basic list of the powers and weaknesses possessed by Kryptonians under a yellow sun.

 

"weak=y" will place only the weaknesses. Without it, if a "Character" is specified, the template will limit itself to powers only.

The powers are listed in general alphabetic order by category. This is consistent with general practice on character pages. This may put some out of apparent order due to the terms used in the text.

Rough...

=Kryptonian Physiology= Kryptonian Physiology

Purpose
This template is essentially a quick way to both add a link to Category:Kryptonian Physiology (where the power is described) and also include the article in the category. Further details on the applications of this power should be included on the Character's page.

Usage
An override term can be added if "Kryptonian Physiology" is inappropriate for the character. Category:Powers Templates

=Kryptonian Powers=
 * Kryptonian Physiology: Under the effects of a "yellow" sun, an average Kryptonian possesses the potential for the following power set:
 * This is the main source of a kryptonian's super powers. Their biological make up includes a number of organs which lack analogues in humans and whose functions are unknown. It is believed that between one or more of these and their bio-cellular matrix, solar energy is stored for later use. If the source of the is a "yellow" sun, this allows for the use of other powers.
 * : Kryptonians can, as a conscious act, fire beams of intense heat at a target by looking at it. Typically, the power is seen as two beams of red light emanating from the eyes. These beams can be made invisible, allowing the power to be undetectable. The maximum temperature of their heat vision is said to be around that of a nuclear detonation. They can also consciously determine the area affected, down to the microscopic level.
 * : Kryptonians are able to perceive their environment in much greater detail. This includes, but is not limited to:


 * vision processes the entire electromagnetic spectrum as well as allowing vast control over selective perception and focus. This umbrella ability includes the following:
 * Electromagnetic Spectrum Vision: can see well into most of the electromagnetic spectrum.  can see and identify radio and television signals as well as all other broadcast or transmitted frequencies. Using this ability,  can avoid detection by radar or satellite monitoring methods. This also allows  to see the aura generated by living thing.
 * Telescopic Vision: This is the ability to see something at a great distance, without violating the laws of physics. Though limited, the exact extent of the ability is undertermined. In function, it is similar to the zoom lens on a camera.
 * X-Ray Vision: This is the ability to see through any volume of matter except lead. can see things behind a solid, opaque object as if it were not there.  can focus this ability to "peel back" layers of an object, allowing hidden image or inner workings to be observed. The exact type of energy perceived - such as x-rays, cosmic rays, or some other enrgy invisible to normal humans - is unclear. this ability percieves an ambiant energy source though, it does not involve the eye projecting a concentrated, possibly toxic, beam to be reflected back from objects.
 * Microscopic Vision: This is the ability to see extremely small objects and images down to the atomic level.
 * Infrared Vision: can see with better acuity in darkness, and to a degree in total darkness.
