Biography[]
Koll-Mer was a blonde-haired boy from the city-state of Erkol on the continent of Urrika in the Pre-Unification era of the planet Krypton. He was the son of Val-Mer. Like his own father before him, Val-Mer took his son on his favorite leisure activity - grosking on the Striped River. While there, Koll-Mer discovered a golden-colored stone that emitted a strong energy glow. At his father's urging, they brought the stone back to the Ruling Council of Erkol, where they believed it could be harnessed to provide the city with an endless supply of energy.
The stone proved to have unpredictable properties however and actually caused some measure of trouble. A group of thieves from Bokos attempted to steal the stone, but Koll-Mer hijacked a Flyer and made off with it.
Returning the golden stone to the Striped River, he fed it to a metal-eater beast, who harmlessly consumed it. [1]
