Klassia

Klassia is a fictional character who appears in comic books published by DC Comics. Created by writer Grant Morrison and artist Frank Quitely, Klassia first appeared in All-Star Superman #1 in 2005. She is a member of the Kryptonian race, like Superman, and shares many of his abilities, including super strength, flight, and invulnerability.

Klassia's origin is tied to Krypton's past. She was a scientist who, like Jor-El, foresaw the planet's destruction. Unlike Jor-El, who sent his son Kal-El to Earth, Klassia developed a method to preserve herself and a select group of Kryptonians in a state of suspended animation. She intended to awaken them in a new world when the time was right.

However, the plan went awry, and Klassia found herself alone and adrift in space when she finally awoke. She eventually landed on Earth, where she encountered Superman. Their relationship is complex, marked by a shared heritage but differing perspectives on how to deal with the legacy of Krypton. Klassia often struggles with her own mortality and the weight of her people's lost civilization, while Superman has found a new home and purpose on Earth. She represents a piece of Superman's past and a potential future for Kryptonian survivors, adding a unique dimension to his mythology.
