Who is DC Comics' Xa-Du? Kryptonian 'Phantom King'

This video explores the abilities, powers, and origin of the DC Comics character "Xa-Du." From being a doctor on Krypton that was researching the field of suspended animation, being the first to be condemned to the Phantom Zone by the Kryptonian Science Council, vowing revenge on Superman's father Jor-El and the entire House of El, developing an "Ecto-Suit" that allowed him to leave the Phantom Zone to re-enter the normal dimension, building a Phantom Zone headquarters called Aethyropolis and a ship named Val-Kon, multiple run-ins with Krypto, Superman, Psi (Gayle Marsh), Supergirl, Batgirl, and the Justice League, to allying himself with Brainiac, Mr. Mxyzptlk, Vyndktvx, and the future supervillain group Anti-Superman Army; Let's take a look at this DC supervillain, enemy of Superman, and the first one condemned to the infamous Phantom Zone. This includes a short, canon character biography and my own opinionated "Sage Rating," which I use to give ratings of comic books and science fiction characters.

I find it amazing how many Kryptonians have survived their world being destroyed when at the beginning we were led to believe Kent was the only survivor!

[MidKnightOTC]

I can imagine Kryptonians spinning Jor'el's block waiting for him to check his mail

[IBDemoo]

His design is dope. He's looks like a super powered mummy

[UnifiedEntity]

Just when I thought I knew a little something about DC...sheesh. A Kryptonian Phantom King?

[ranthegemini]

At the end he looks like a kryptonian dormamu

New 52 Xa-Du is one of my faves. Golden Mummy.

Never heard of this character, but he seems cool

So with all these kryptonians, Kal el stands as the strongest, right? (excluding superboy prime).

Can you do a Episode on Superman’s dog

[Naeem_El]

I really like your videos because they have so much information. Keep up the great work 👍🏾

[mickeydee]

Love your work! Could you do Image comics Hardcase.

[rodog]

Like your stuff, keep up the good job. Would you do Manga? Naruto, One piece etc.

I heard someone mention that he should trade powersets to make an awesome space litch powerset where he can summon Phatoms soldiers from the Phantom Zone.

I personally think giving him a connection to Aethyr would be awesome. A deal with an Eldritch being that makes up the Phantom Zone and it's first inhabitant. The Phantom King could straight up be a victim that has been corrupted over the centuries by Aethyr and empowered like Galactus' Heralds. Or a deal with the devil situation.

Yo Sage, I would love it if you do one of the Molocule Man

[MontanaJ]

Great video. Still waiting on that wonder-man video though 😉😉

[Shotta]
