A Kryptonian Census

jkcarrierI was looking at some Silver Age Superman stories, and noticed how often they featured flashbacks of (or time travel to) Krypton. Not to mention the Bottle City of Kandor, the Phantom Zone, and other strays showing up. I started wondering just how many Kryptonians we had seen over the years (Spoiler alert: A lot). What follows is an attempt to catalog every native Kryptonian from the Pre-Crisis era. Additions and corrections welcome.
Key:
(A) - Citizen of Argo City.
(K) - Citizen of the Bottle City of Kandor.
(P) - Served time in the Phantom Zone.
(S) - Survived the destruction of Krypton (or was born after the destruction).
