Eradicator

In the distant past, a dying alien race created a number of sentient preservation ships designed to preserve their culture.

They sent them into space with contact teams, intent on meeting other civilizations.

When a small group of these aliens arrived on the planet Krypton, they were met by the militant Kem-L, who killed them (though one survived) and altered their ship.

Its new mission was to preserve his ideal of Kryptonian culture by eradicating all others - and thus the device became known as the "Eradicator."

In its original form, the Eradicator resembled a stylized small rocket.

Its top section was a prolate spheroid, which exuded a blue glow and was approximately three times the size of an egg.

This was connected via four thin mount brackets to a glossy orange tail fin section of equal length.

The ten equally spaced fins each had the shape of a pointed quarter ellipse, with the tapered end extending slightly beyond the rear of the squat main cylindrical body tube.

The surviving alien, The Cleric, took the Eradicator and left Krypton with a group of Kryptonian followers, but they died soon thereafter, because the proximity to their planet was required for them to live.

The Cleric kept the Eradicator for 200,000 years, until he encountered Superman on Warworld.

With the device, the two exchanged memories, and the Cleric had a vision of Superman's death at the hands of Mongul.

The Cleric wished to prevent this from happening, and the Eradicator transported them to his asteroid.

He noticed that the device changed to protect Krypton's sole survivor, and they used it to heal their wounds, both physical and spiritual.

Upon giving the Eradicator to Superman, Cleric rapidly aged and died as the link to the Eradicator extending his life was severed.
