In “The Man Who Went To Krypton!”, a story from Superman #77 (May 1952) written by Bill Finger, Superman discovers that a human had visited Krypton in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thirty years ago, Professor William Enders intercepted radio signals from Krypton (which must have traveled through a time warp?) and learned how to communicate with Jor-El on Krypton. Jor-El instructed Prof Enders on how to make a matter transporting machine which can instantly teleport matter and arrives on Krypton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prof. Enders works with Jor-El to see if Kryptonians could evacuate to Earth, where they would be super-humans due its lighter gravity and different solar radiation. This is the first time that I’ve seen Supermans’ powers attributed to a different type of sun (though Krypton’s sun has not yet been depicted as a red sun).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While there, Prof. Enders was subject to Krypton’s heavier gravity, which took his toll on him, eventually requiring him to leave Krypton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If Jor-El could make this machine, why didn’t he manufacture them by the thousands and evacuate his people, or at least his family earlier? I guess he thought he still had time to convince the council. The story does mention that by the time the radiation had built up on Krypton, the matter-transmitter was now useless, so the story is not completely filled with plot holes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prof. Enders kept the science of matter-transportation a secret, as any good scientist with the knowledge to completely transform society and solve many world problems should do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A criminal comes across the machine, and of course, as evidenced by stories of three years ago<\/a>, any smart criminal will use the teleportation machine to create alibis for criminals by shooting them across the continent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Superman foils the plot, learns of Professor Enders past, and then decides to stash the matter-transporter in a safe place:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
