History
The Phantom Zone, discovered by one of Krypton’s greatest scientist, Jor-El, is a world of boundless twilight, a stopping place between being and nothingness… a dimension without dimensions, without horizons, without sensations, without hope. Its denizens are mere impressions of their former selves, astral bodies hovering in mist, conversing by though… for though is not only communication, but the sum of existence in this endless nowhere.
To this hell were sent Krypton’s greatest criminals, as punishment, for a duration commensurate with his/her offense. In the Phantom Zone one is a wraith, unable to affect the material world in any manner. Once in the zone, a person feels no hunger, requires no sleep, no air and does not age. There is only time to think and feel.
