Kandor

Kandor is the name of a fictional Kryptonian city in the Pre-Crisis DC Universe that was shrunk and stolen by the supervillain, Brainiac from the planet Krypton. In his battle with the supervillain, Superman rescued the city and kept it in his Fortress of Solitude while looking for a way to restore it. In return, the Kandorians provided the superhero with a place where he is an honoured guest, various professionals to assist him when asked and even occasionally assisted him in the outside with the Superman Emergency Squad. Eventually, Superman was able to restore the population's size and they settled on another planet which revolved a red sun. The Kandorians decided to name their new homeworld Rokyn, which is the Kryptonian word for "gift from God." Post-Crisis, the bottle city has a somewhat different history, having been created by an alien wizard named Kolos, who trapped representatives of various races (including Valor's uncle) within, in order to possess their bodies. This city is not literally shrunk, but exists in an extra-dimensional space, occasionally connected to the Phantom Zone. Superman has not, as yet, managed to restore it.
