[[Image:Firefalls.jpg|right]] '''The Fire Falls of Krypton''' The Fire Falls are made up of spectacular ribbons of fire from the core of [[Krypton]] itself that spill over tall scenic rock formations (first chronicled in S No. 141, 1960: "Superman's Return to Krypton!"). While differing from waterfalls, the Fire Falls do contain [[Fish-Snake]]s -- eel-like creatures with a poisonous bite. A magnificent flaming cataract on the planet Krypton formed by a “fiery fluid” pouring over a precipice (Act No. 325, Jun 1965: “The Skyscraper Superman!”). [[Jor-El]] described the spectacular phenomenon as “Our planet’s inner fires, pouring through a fissure” in a massive rock cliff (S No. 141, Nov 1960: “Superman’s Return to Krypton!” pts. I-III— “Superman Meets Jor-El and Lara Again!”; “Superman’s Kryptonian Romance!”; “The Surprise of Fate!”). Various species of “mutant fish” inhabited the Fire Falls, including venomous “fish-snakes” whose bite was potentially fatal (Act No. 281, Oct 1961: “The Man Who Saved Kal-El’s Life!”). According to the [[Supergirl]] story in Action Comics No. 324, “When the planet [Krypton] exploded, it hurled the falls into space, where the flames turned into a kind of kryptonite, like all other parts of Krypton,” so that today, on a far-off asteroid somewhere in outer space, the famed Fire Falls still exist, in the form of a stunning green cataract of “kryptonite flame” (May ‘65: “The Black Magic of Supergirl!”).
