Khan-El, born simply Khan, was a Phaelosian warrior from Warworld Prime in the 30th Century who married Alura Van-El and became part of the House of El. He was killed by The Undoing alongside his wife and the Legion of Super-Heroes.
History
Powers and Abilities
Powers
- Phaelosian Physiology: Phaelosians are an evolutionary offshoot of Kryptonians. As such they possess superpowers under the light of a "yellow" sun such as Earth's.
- Solar Radiation Absorption: Under optimal conditions, this is the main source of Khan-El's super powers as they are contingent upon exposure to solar radiation from a yellow sun star system. His 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 his bio-cellular matrix, "yellow" solar energy is stored for later use. This allows for the use of these powers to fade when yellow solar radiation is not available instead of immediate failure.[1]
- Flight: Khan-El is able to manipulate graviton particles to defy the forces of gravity and achieve flight. This ranges from hovering to moving in any posture, in any direction. [1]
- Invulnerability: Due to the interaction of his dense molecular structure and supercharged bio-electric aura, Khan-El is nigh-invulnerable to extreme energy forces. In addition, his immune system protects him from toxins and diseases.[1]
- Superhuman Speed: Khan-El is able to move at incredible speeds by sheer force of will. He can match most other speedsters in super-fast movements, reactions, and processes. He can use this power to disarm opponents without heightened reflexes, catch bullets or shrapnel or cross vast distances in seconds.[1]
- Superhuman Strength: Khan-El develops enhanced physical strength after absorbing a sufficient amount of yellow solar radiation. This radiation interacts with the greater than human density, resilience and biological efficiency of his musculature to trigger superhuman levels. His strength is more an act of conscious will on energy fields than actual physical strength. In terms of strength, Phaelosians are seemingly as strong as Kryptonians and Daxamites.[1]
Abilities
Weaknesses
- Solar Energy Dependency: Like Kryptonians and Daxamites, Phaelosians rely on solar radiation from the yellow sun as a source of their powers. Their abilities will eventually weaken without replenishing their energy reserves with normal (yellow) sun radiation.[1]
- Vulnerability to Kryptonite: Unlike Daxamites, Phaelosians are vulnerable to Kryptonite despite centuries of genetic drift from baseline Kryptonians.[2]
