HISTORY
- A decent, law-abiding citizen on Krypton, Lar-On was tragically struck by a condition which turned him into a werecreature while under the light of the moon. It was in this state that he killed his wife and was captured by the Science Police. For the protection of Krypton, Lar-On was sent to the Phantom Zone until a cure could be found.
- Decades later, long after the destruction of Krypton, Lar-On was accidentally released from the Zone by Professor Jeremiah Terry of Earth. In werecreature form, Lar-On slew the scientist and had also scratched the sceintist's daughter.

POWERS AND WEAPONS
: A Kryptonian, Lar-On possesses the standard power set including fight, super strength, super speed, invulnerability, heat, x-ray, telescopic,and microscopic vision while under a yellow sun. Presumably he has these same powers in werecreature form but fortunately has not realized the fact as his strength, speed and savagery are increased. The werecreature condition can be passed by a scratch, ultimately transforming the new victim into a werecreature based on an animal he or she may identify with.
