Fictional character biography

Solaris is a star-like robot created to counter an organic computer virus that contains his programming and was sent by his future self. Afterward, Solaris becomes an enemy of Superman and his descendants until the 505th-century Superman sacrifices himself to reprogram it. By the 853rd century, Solaris is placed in Uranus' orbit to warm the outer parts of the Solar System and relay information, and is overseen by Starman.<ref name="Guide">Template:Cite book</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name="connection">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>Template:Cite book</ref>
