History

An interdimensional realm outside of the space/time continuum, the Phantom Zone is a space that originally contained no physical material. One entity, Aethyr, had lived in the Phantom Zone for an unknown amount of time and is believed to be it's only native resident. The Phantom Zone was otherwise empty until it was discovered by the Kryptionian scientist Jor-El.  Afterwards Jor-El created a projector to send people into the Phantom Zone and decided that it may make an alternative form of imprisonment, believing that it might be more humane than conventional forms, as people who are within the area need neither food nor sleep.
