Copy-Cat Kryptons Cause Confusion for Kryptonian Crusaders

Jor-El and Jor-L as well as their younger brothers Zor-El and Zor-L were brilliant scientists, who’s most inventions not only benefited their respective Kryptons, but also save the lives of the Jors’ sons named Kal and the Zors’ daughters named  Kara. However, Jor-El and Zor-L literally preserved a synthetic copy of their doomed worlds

Krypton II was originally devised as a diversionary tactic by Jor-El to protect Krypton-One from a potential impending invasion of an alien race. Utilizing his atom-scan ray into empty space far from his world, both projecting a virtual reality copy of his planet which was able to gravitationally attract meteors to this massive global image, giving the image of Krypton physical substance. Populated with android replicas of the Kryptonians*, these robots planted numerous death-traps for the invaders.

Another Krypton II was originally developed by Zor-L as a cognitive means of instructing his daughter Kara during her long voyage to her adopted world of Earth-Two. Within this virtual reality, synthetic replicas of the Kryptonians were created to interact with Kara, helping her form familial and social bonds with others throughout the decades.

When adult Kal-El, now known as Superman, first encounters Krypton II as it was on a collison course with Earth-One, he was initially confused as to how his homeworld could still exist. Once he began interacting with its various inhabitants such as his father Jor-El and his former fiancée Lyla Lerrol, he noticed their strange behavior. Once a series of disasters were triggered by his presense, he began to realize all was not what it seemed. In fact, he was triggering the traps the androids laid for their alien invaders, most of whom never arrived on Krypton II. Once this patchwork planet was destroyed when it was consumed by its satellite synthetic red sun, Superman returned to his adopted home now filled with memories of his birth world and those he lost.

When adult Kara Zor-L, now known as Power Girl, was once more assimilated by the Symbioship which housed the virtual Krpton while transporting her to her adopted world, she found its virtual Kryptonians equally acting strangely. Their mission, to keep her on this Krypton II forevermore, was thwarted by Kara's superior willpower, with this image of her home planet now erased from existence.

Zor-El and Jor-L were equally adept intellectuals, not only with their mastery over rocketry that match their brothers' skill, bur in other practical scientific fields. And yet, It was Jor-El and Zor-L who were able to manufacture life-like projections** of Krypton-One and Krypton-Two... either in intergalactic space or within the human mind, along with innumerable artificial replicas which replicated their original Kryptonian models so exactly that they even fooled Kal-El and Kara Zor-L.

And even if Superman and Power Girl had wished to stay on these virtual replicas of Krypton, they each knew they had a responsibility to Earths One and Two, to protect them with their superhuman abilities!

* Jor-El's Krypton II in space would not have had its own Kandor, which had already been shrunken and stolen by another android, named Brainiac. Zor-L's Krypton II within the Symbioship virtual world would've still included Kandor and its inhabitants, as it had remained on Krypton-Two until the planet expired.

** The Symbioship displayed the capability of projecting images of itself, such as when it distracted Power Girl’s cousin Kal-L over the skies of Metropolis while it attempted to assimilate her in Gotham City.
