HISTORY
A Kryptonian city, Jerat was stricken by plague some time in the past, wiping out its population. Abandoned, it became known as the "Ghost City." Years later, it became a refuge for criminals and was shrunken by "Brainiac A," a law-abiding prototype version of Brainiac, thus surviving the later destruction of the planet.
- The expression "Shadows of Jerat" was used by the criminal Jax-Ur to convey surprise.
