- Metallo (first appearance; a Kryptonian robot, left as a guard on an asteroid used for secret experiments; presumably destroyed; no relation to the later introduced villain Metallo)

- Space Sector 2814

- Smallville
Comment(s):
- The asteroid was likely in the vicinity of Krypton when the planet exploded. As it was not of Krypton itself, it did not become kryptonite but due to its size and gravitation pull collected kryptonite dust in its atmosphere. Then, like the rest of the debris from Krypton turning up on Earth; was somehow pulled through the space warp created by baby Kal-El's rocket. Over the years, the dust would slowly condense and fall on the asteroid.
