As we discussed briefly last night, there’s some disagreement among fans as to just whose apparently-mummified remains we see wearing Kryptonian armor in the latest trailer for Man of Steel.The sequence of images implies that it isn’t Zod, who seems to be looking at the corpse and then looking away–but beyond that it’s unclear. Who might be the body in question? Well, there are four key candidates–and we’ve got a definite favorite, but we’ll get to that.Here’s a note, though; Andrew Darling, a bioengineering professor at Syracuse University, took a look at the photo of the Kryptonian corpse and guessed that it’s probably male. It’s difficult to say with any certainty on account of being alien, not properly cleaned or positioned…and fictional…but he told ComicBook.com that it sure looked that way to him.Asked whether he could tell by the jaw or parts of the exposed face whether it was a male or female, Darling replied, “Male. While I suppose that could just be burnt flesh, the masseter and mentalis seem awfully large for a woman. That would be an exceptional woman to have a jaw and chin line like that. So, I’m going to go with male.”He added, “But I grant you that the collar flair looks a lot like pics of Faora’s outfit.”So, with that in mind, who are the popular candidates online, and why?
