Jupiter IS THE GREAT PROTECTOR EATING SO MANY ASTEROIDS AND COMETS THAT DON'T GET PAST JUPITER. IS LITERALLY PROTECTING US WITH ITS HUGE GRAVITY PULL. I THINK BRENTFAVREVIKING ABOVE IS AN IDIOT. JUST SAYING.

I mean technically Jupiter and the Sun are the reason we don't have a planet/planets where the big asteroid belt is now. The gravity between the two is too strong.

Destroyed other chances at cool planets haha.

Or... it was a planet, long ago. And it housed an advanced civilization that knew its demise was imminent. They sent a single son to a planet called Earth.

You think its Superman, nah, its Adam.

That's okay, they're both Jews and that's not a bad way to start any planet.
