Alterus was a high ranking soldier on New Krypton.
History[]
When Mala and Jax-Ur arrived at the planet they would later call New Krypton, Alterus cooperated with their rule. It is implied that he was in charge of the planet's military forces. It was suggested that he and Mala were romantically involved but Alterus showed his disinterest when in private by wiping off his lips after Mala had kissed him. While he submitted to the rule of Jax-ur and Mala, he was secretly disgusted with the totalitarian rule imposed upon his world by the two new rulers, and eventually turned on them to save Superman and the resistance fighter Cetea.
