Rao (comics)
Rao is a fictional star in the DC Comics Universe. It is the red giant (in some continuities, red dwarf) that the planet Krypton orbited. The title also refers to a supervillain of the same name and same Kryptonian etymology. "Rao" is also the name of the sun's deity, who was worshiped as a god of light and life. As such the name is sometimes invoked as a Kryptonian exclamation. In early Superman comics, Krypton's sun was unnamed and was given no effect on Superman's powers, which were attributed first to greater evolution, and then to a combination of innate powers and Earth's lower gravity.
