These guys were insanely famous)Krypto-Knight: Krypto's mother was a wealthy and highly intelligent scientist. Much of her life was spent dedicated to unlocking the secrets of an odd substance known as Kryptonite. She was so engrossed in her work, that while she was pregnant she refused to halt her research on the material. As a result, when her son was born, his eyes and hair were both a brilliant shade of green. Moreso, when he was 12, he was overcome by a violent wave of nausea. He was bed-ridden for a month, before he suddenly got better. Much better. Bewildered, he councelled a family doctor. He ran a few blood tests, and discovered that there was a strange chemical running through his veins, that had apparently been released upon the start of puberty. As the amount of this chemical in his blood increased, he unlocked strange and mysterious powers. Among them super-human strength, the power to fly, and the mysterious ability to shoot a strange, green energy from his hands. Hoping to keep this under-wraps, Krypto was very careful not to expose his powers to anyone other than his immediate family, and the doctor- who his mother paid to quit his current business and become Krypto's personal physician- as well as to make sure he kept quiet. One night however, when Krypto was 16, anti-mutant activists- who had somehow found out about Krypto's odd abilities, attacked his home. As Krypto hid inside a closet, the activists badgered his family and the doctor. Finally, they threatened with violence. Krypto, not wanting any harm to befall his loved ones, leapt out and punched out the attackers. When Krypto saw what he was capable of, he knew what his calling was. As a man of strength, he would defend the weak. But as he was also a man of sound mind, he knew that he wouldn't be able to go it alone. He then spent the next few years, forming a group of super-men. These Super Heroes, he would later dub The Exalted... (More on the other important members of the Exalted later)</blockquote>
