#MAN OF STEEL CODEX MOVIE#
The Codex, as explained by Jax-Ur, contains the DNA of a billion Kryptonians." In the movie it looks like an ancient skull made out of coal or rock, but it almost looked very different.
#MAN OF STEEL CODEX CODE#
An ancient Kryptonian skull, inscribed with glowing green glyphs, the Codex dictated the genetic code of millions of Kryptonians as yet unborn.
In the movie Man of Steel Jor-El (Russell Crowe) steals the "Codex" which Superman Homepage describes as "an ancient Kryptonian artifact that decodes the genetic makeup of the artificially incubated babies on the planet. I went for the simple look on this guy, but am very happy with him and how the skull turned out.Check out Man of Steelconcept art by Milena Zdravkovic! I went with the skull after it's retrieval from the matrix and so it doesn't have glowing orange DNA script. The skull is completely scratch sculpted from Aves, in small stages, and the separate stages allows the skull to have little fractures and lines that emulate a real bone skull and it's intricate detail. The different hand, while an easy mod, has changed the look of the figure regarding poses.Plus he holds the skull! I inserted a peg into his wrist which is really tight fit, and the Revoltech hand slides on, also a tight fit. Jor El is a head swap with a Superman body, with a detailed face paint to maximize the Russel Crowe sculpt, and painted the suit to match Jor El's color scheme-dark blue and gunmetal with a bronzed 'S'.Īlso, I've swapped his right hand with a Revoltech 'open palm' hand, as the size was the same.
Today you can see Jor El in his Kryptonian suit where he steels the codex!!
