Superman Emergency Squad[]
The Superman Emergency Squad was a team of Kryptonians from the bottle city of Kandor. As such, they were all survivors of the destruction of their home world of Krypton. These Kandorians were allied with Superman, and would leave Kandor to assist Superman in times of need. While on Earth, they developed all of the same enhanced physical benefits that a Kryptonian gained while operating in a yellow sun star system. They would dress in attire similar to Superman and go out to rescue Superman in instances where Superman could not save himself, such as when he was once succumbed to Kryptonite poisoning.
On one of their earliest missions, the Superman Emergency Squad left Kandor in order to recover a laser weapon that had Supergirl's fingerprints on it. The ray gun had come under the possession of Jimmy Olsen, who had given it to his fan club. The Kandorians were concerned that close inspection of the item might reveal Supergirl's true identity. They worked alongside Jimmy to retrieve the item, but when Jimmy went to his boss, Perry White, to tell him about the "tiny Supermen", Perry thought he was just nuts.
Technology[]
- Brain cell stimulator
- The brain cell stimulator was developed by scientists from the shrunken Kryptonian city of Kandor. Superman failed to save the life of an archaologist named Professor Steele and was overcome with guilt. He sought therapy from the Kandorians who recommended using the brain cell stimulator in order to give him partial amnesia, so he would not remember the event. Superman agreed, and the scientists placed a head-piece onto him, which projected energy into his brain. The device failed to remove the memory however, and only succeeded in making Superman bitter.
