Kryptonian
Kryptonian refers to the fictional alien species from the planet Krypton in DC Comics, most famously represented by Superman.
As an adjective, it describes anything related to this world or its people: Kryptonian technology, the Kryptonian language.
Kryptonians gain superhuman powers under Earth's yellow sun, making the term shorthand for extraordinary strength or near-invincibility: He thinks he's Kryptonian or something.
